    The F.B.I.’s Extraordinary Seizure of Voting Records

    Last week, F.B.I. agents searched an election center in Fulton County, Ga., seizing truckloads of ballots from 2020. The move escalated the investigation into President Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the state after his 2020 defeat in the state. It has since been learned that Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, was present during the search. Devlin Barrett, a Times reporter who covers the F.B.I., discusses the presence of the nation’s top intelligence official and the stunning phone call that shows how personally involved Mr. Trump has become in the investigation.

    The Sunday Daily: Bad Bunny Takes Over America

    At the Grammy Awards tonight, the Puerto Rican pop sensation Bad Bunny is the first Spanish-language artist to be nominated for album, record and song of the year simultaneously. For most artists, this would be the high point of their year, if not their career. For Bad Bunny, this is just an appetizer for what’s in store for him next week. Next Sunday, he will headline the Super Bowl halftime show. His performance comes in the middle of a nationwide crackdown on immigration — an issue he’s been vocal about — and follows a backlash against the N.F.L. for booking him in the first place. Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, the hosts of The Times’s pop music show “Popcast,” discuss Bad Bunny’s rise to the heights of pop stardom, and explore what it means for a Puerto Rican artist to headline the world’s biggest stage. On Today’s Episode: Jon Caramanica is a pop music critic at The New York Times and a co-host of “Popcast.” Joe Coscarelli is a culture reporter for The New York Times who focuses on popular music and a co-host of “Popcast.” Background Reading: Grammys 2026: Who Should Win the Biggest Awards Bad Bunny Talks Coming Back Home on His ‘Most Puerto Rican’ Album Yet Get to Know Bad Bunny in 9 Songs Photo: Mario Anzuoni for Reuters.
