We'll be right back. Here's what else you need to know today. In back to back rulings, federal courts threw a wrench in President Trump's plans to remake the government bureaucracy. On Friday, a federal judge ordered the White House to temporarily pause some parts of its attempt to shut down USAID, which distributes foreign aid, calling it, quote, unconstitutional and illegal.

The judge said giving so-called special government employees, like Musk, access to such highly sensitive information raises the risks of leaks and makes the financial system more vulnerable to hacking. If the Trump administration refuses to comply with the rulings, it could pose a serious test for America's rule of law.

From The New York Times, this is The Daily. I'm Natalie Ketroa. Today, we're taking a break from the battles unfolding in Washington to talk about another battle that's been dominating the world of music. It's a fight between two major artists over one song. And that fight and that song may get their biggest stage ever at this weekend's Super Bowl.

This weekend is obviously the Super Bowl. And while I very specifically will be watching to see my Philadelphia Eagles play Go Birds, a lot of people will be tuning in to watch Kendrick Lamar perform at halftime and not necessarily to hear him play his greatest hits, but to hear one song in particular. Let's talk about that song.
