.@BrettFavre With all due respect to one of the greatest QBs ever — I didn’t grow up knowing where the Packers played, what Lambeau Field was, or why people proudly wear cheese on their heads 🧀😄.
I watched. I learned. And now I get it.
That’s how @NFL football works. And honestly, that’s how the Super Bowl halftime show works too. It’s not about only watching what you already know — it’s about discovering what millions of your fellow Americans already love.
Bad Bunny isn’t “foreign” to the Super Bowl — he is America too 🇺🇸🇵🇷🎶. Different sounds, same country, same game.
The Super Bowl is big enough for frozen fields, cheese hats, country music… and Spanish lyrics.
That’s not losing tradition. That’s America showing how big the tent really is. 🏈❤️
And you should try Tembleque, Alcapurrias and Mofongo! Don’t be sad, be happy!

Bobby Wagner’s Walter Payton Man of the Year speech is the best 3:36 you’ll watch anytime soon.

Talking about his late mother: “She’s the person who had confidence in me when I didn’t even have confidence in myself.”

Thank you for sharing my story - becoming a living donor is one of the best things I've done. Robotic surgery enables a faster recovery - and the liver grows back!

[CNBC Make It @CNBCMakeIt]

I donated part of my liver to a stranger—it completely changed my life: I don't 'waste time on things that don't matter' https://t.co/7C0y6JxAJy

Being the story in ANY way is every reporter’s worst nightmare. Yet, I went on the record as a source & it has made me a more ethical & empathetic journalist. This powerful article encapsulates how journalists can hold people accountable for their actions - even in our own field.

Retweets, replies, comments—having my back out loud means more than you know because predators thrive in silence. https://t.co/Rw7U3Hhd0W 4/5

@weskrantz I think Finn's legal counselor @salterfry would note that your flip flops no longer belong to you. They are Finn's now 😃

Reminder weather balloon data gets directly fed into computer models.

Less balloons = less data = less forecast model accuracy.

And, of course, fewer NWS meteorologists = fewer eyes on the weather.

A sad day for American and global meteorology.

NEW: JFK Library in Boston today was shuttered, with visitors escorted out, after the National Archives, executing a Trump administration order, directed employees who were still in their probationary periods to be fired. Five people, who carried out key tasks, were let go.

Just got a notice from our insurance company, Oscar Health, that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live has been rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that her medication is "Not Medically Necessary."

Her meds costs ~$200K+ a year. The insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year.

I am disgusted & beyond outraged. Posting full details soon on this injustice & how my wife Ayesha and I are fighting back: https://t.co/E9vsj25tKE

@brclothwrites Yes, and the librarians are some of the kindest people I've ever met! Love visiting in person and using the Libby app.
