Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California tells lies with more shamelessness and ease than perhaps anyone in modern politics. That, of course, requires us to assume that most of what Newsom says or does qualifies as performance. And that makes the true Newsom impossible to discover, for most people do...

UFC London finally has a main event. The promotion officially announced on Monday that unbeaten featherweights Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy meet in the headliner of the March 21 event, which takes place at O2 Arena, and streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States. Evloev returns to action for the first time since defeating Aljamain Sterling at UFC 310 in December 2024, while Murphy is coming off of a Knockout of the Year contender stoppage of Aaron Pico at UFC 319 this past August. The winner of this bout likely will face champion Alexander Volkanovski next, who just dominated Diego Lopes for the second consecutive time in the main event of UFC 325 this past Saturday. In the co-main event of the promotion’s return to the U.K., Luke Riley, longtime teammate of Paddy Pimblett, faces Michael Aswell in a lightweight contest, while Michael Page makes his return to welterweight to face Sam Patterson in the featured bout. The rest of the main card will see Iwo Baraniewski facing Austen Lane — who makes the move down to 205 — in a light heavyweight bout, Roman Dolidze vs. Christian Leroy Duncan in a middleweight contest, and a 145-pound matchup between Danny Silva and Kurtis Campbell.

BREAKING: Turning Point USA to host 'All-American Halftime Show' on Super Bowl Sunday featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and more, airing opposite Bad Bunny https://t.co/SamSMDWY13 — Fox News (@FoxNews) February 2, 2026 Fox News shared further: The concert will air opposite the NFL’s official halftime show, headlined by Latin music star Bad Bunny – a selection that has sparked backlash from some conservatives. “He’s said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America,” Rock said. Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital the alternative broadcast is intended to provide families with another viewing option. And unlike a massive stadium show where the action can feel distant, this will be an immersive, high-energy experience that “lets the viewer up close and personal,” Kolvet said. “‘The All-American Halftime Show’ is an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom,” Kolvet said. “… We can’t wait to watch the incredible show they’re about to put on. We know millions around the country will be watching too.” The Super Bowl, set for Feb. 8, will feature the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks, with Bad Bunny headlining the official halftime performance – a choice that has continued to draw criticism, including from President Donald Trump. Bad Bunny spoke critically of ICE at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, saying “ICE out.” “We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans,” he continued. “The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different,” he added.

Justin and Hailey Bieber, Carole King, Teddy Swims, Joni Mitchell, Finneas, Eilish, Samara Joy, Lachi and Kehlani all wore pins that read “ICE OUT.” Bon Iver wore a bright orange whistle on his lapel to honor “observers” in Minneapolis, who he said patrol the streets and blow their whistles when Immigration and Customs Enforcement is near to protect their neighbors and communities.

As ex-CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the storming of a Minnesota church last month, he documented several instances where he appeared to be covering the anti-ICE protesters’ tracks as he accompanied them from start to finish. Lemon’s livestream opened with him standing near the group of activists, who he said were “gearing up for resistance and protest.” INTENT: The opening to Don Lemon’s insane livestream is an admission of foreknowledge that the group he was in contact with was going to storm a church, based on his prior communications with its leader. pic.twitter.com/g0GVHB4871 — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) January 19, 2026 The group gathered in a parking lot to practice anti-ICE chants. At that point in his video, Lemon asserted that the operation was “secret,” adding, “[I] can’t tell you what is going to happen, but you’re going to watch it live unfold here on the Don Lemon Show.” He continued to conceal the group’s plans, saying that he “turned our camera off of them because they’re giving some critical information here.” Lemon could also be seen thanking the members of the group, including its ringleader, Nekima Levy Armstrong, who was also later arrested for her alleged role in carrying out the disruption.
