Gavin Newsom declares ‘Bad Bunny Day’ on Super Bowl Sunday in California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared Super Bowl Sunday to be “Bad Bunny Day” in California in a social media post mimicking President Trump.

“As many people know, I am a tremendous lover of ‘the Spanish’,” Newsom wrote Saturday. “I am also a huge fan of Puerrrrrrrto Rico. That is why I am declaring [Sunday] in California as ‘Bad Bunny Day.’”

The Latin pop superstar, 31, will perform at halftime of Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. He is fresh off accepting three Grammys at last weekend’s award show for his newest album, “Debi Tirar Mas Fotos.”

While accepting one of his Grammys, Bad Bunny began his speech by saying, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out,” which earned thunderous applause. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.”

Newsom has been imitating Trump’s delivery in his social media posts for several months, which he continued in his “Bad Bunny Day” proclamation.

“We love Bad Bunny!” Newsom wrote. “He is nearly as ‘hot’ as me, which is a big compliment, because there is nobody ‘hotter.’ Happy Bad Bunny Day, America. Enjoy!!!”

In a followup post, Newsom also said he had “banned” Kid Rock from California. Kid Rock is headlining an alternative halftime show produced by Charlie Kirk’s former organization, Turning Point USA — and also made headlines this week for song lyrics from 2001 about having sex with underage girls.

On Sunday, Newsom joked that Kid Rock would be performing in front of “35 people, three scooters, and a confused nurse at Trump’s Golden Meadows retirement facility in Florida. Hopefully no children present!!!”

Trump previously called Bad Bunny a “terrible choice” for the halftime show, and press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president would be among those tuning into the alternative Kid Rock performance.

Other conservatives have also complained about Bad Bunny performing in Spanish. But the performer said earlier in the week that viewers didn’t need to learn Spanish to enjoy and dance.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

NYC mom who may die from Randalls Island beatdown spent 6 hours on ground unconscious

The Queens single mom clinging to life after being savagely beaten and robbed of her e-bike on Randalls Island was left unconscious on the ground for nearly six hours before she was discovered by a passerby the next morning, the Daily News has learned. Diana Agudelo was biking home from her job as a janitor at an East Harlem museum, taking her usual short cut through Randalls Island to get to her Astoria apartment, when she was attacked about 11:30 p.m. Friday. One or more assailants struck her multiple times in the head and face before apparently stealing her e-bike and belongings. A passerby didn’t spot her unconscious near the bike path until about 5:15 a.m. the next day as the sky began to lighten on the sparsely populated island, which is home to sports fields and institutions including shelters, a psychiatric hospital and an FDNY training facility. Agudelo made it through surgery Wednesday to relieve pressure on her brain but only has a 1% chance of ultimately surviving, ...
