 | Monday, February 10, 2025 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill into law requiring weather observations to be taken at 44 military stations across the eastern half of the nation, thereby founding what became the National Weather Service. Philadelphia Eagles fans were delighted, Kansas City Chiefs boosters were despondent, and for everyone else, last night's Super Bowl game marked the end of a long NFL season. That means it's time for basketball! Take our poll today and let us know if you're a current follower of NBA basketball. Today's sponsor is for our tea drinkers! Pique is a super tea that promotes gut health. Check them out in today's edition. | | | |  Eagles Rout Chiefs in Super Bowl
The Philadelphia Eagles hammered the Kansas City Chiefs in a 40-22 Super Bowl rout on the strength of a swarming defense that forced three turnovers, sacked Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and held Kansas City to a total 275 yards. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, throwing for 221 yards, rushing for 72 yards, and accounting for three touchdowns. He now holds the record for most rushing yards by a QB in the Super Bowl. The game wasn't even as close as the final score makes it seem. The Chiefs were down 40-6 in the middle of the fourth quarter, in a game that experts predicted would see a record $1.39 billion in wagers. For many viewers, the real appeal was the Super Bowl commercials, featuring a number of TV and movie stars, along with the traditional Budweiser Clydesdale horses, special effects aliens and surreal scenarios. You can see many of the TV spots here. | Officials Cut Off Consumer Agency The White House ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to cease most of its operations, effectively shutting the agency down. Additionally, newly installed Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought announced the agency could no longer draw on federal funding, calling its $711.6 million in reserves "excessive in the current fiscal environment." "This spigot, long contributing to CFPB's unaccountability, is now being turned off," Vought said. Republicans have long been critical of the CFPB, which was created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis by President Obama and Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren. | Trump's Early Approval Hits 53% President Trump's early weeks in office have garnered approval from 53% of Americans, who view him as "tough," "energetic," and "effective," with 70% saying he is delivering on campaign promises, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday. While majorities support his deportation policies and border initiatives, two-thirds say he isn't focusing enough on lowering prices. The poll shows 54% approve of his handling of the Gaza conflict, though nearly half of Americans think his proposal to take over Gaza is a bad idea. The partisan divide remains stark across all issues, with 91% of Republicans approving of Trump's overall performance compared to just 6% of Democrats. See the entire survey here.
