I know everyone is talking about Bad Bunny and the halftime show.
However, I need to know that other people noticed how awkward those older football players looked while being on stage with Green Day. Because that was such a chef's kiss peak moment for me. Anyone else?

This administration wants silence, but that isn’t happening. The ICE agent’s name and photo are now widely known, and accountability is being demanded. Justice must be served and he must stand trial!!!
