NEW: In his literal final hours in office today, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy vetoed two bills meant to protect immigrants in New Jersey from ICE.

Immigrants' rights advocates in the state are now expressed anger. Here's what we know:

ICE detain U.S. Army Purple Heart Veteran for hours—deny access to lawyer.

Agents gang tackle him to ground—severely injure his face.

"They did offer me a band-aid," he said. "But I’d rather have a lawyer than band-aid when being detained."

The Iraq combat veteran was wounded during his service.

FWIW, the one and only time Article 5 has formally been invoked was following 9/11 -- by NATO and on behalf of the United States, without it having to make any request.
Trump: "The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of money with NATO and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours. Just saying."

He's completely out of touch with reality. Who among us hasn't bought an extra dozen homes?

This cabinet is filled with billionaires who are incapable of understanding the working poor and middle class.

Imagine you're a scientist trying to publish a new study, and being told you can't, unless you do background checks on co-authors who aren't U.S. citizens and send their names to national security staff.

Also, studies about climate change or DEI written w/foreign scientists = rejected. ⬇️
The new directive asks USDA workers in the agency’s research arm to use Google to check the backgrounds of all foreign nationals collaborating with its scientists.

The names of flagged scientists are being sent to national security experts at the agency, according to records reviewed by ProPublica.

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

Do you know how evil you have to be in order to get the Swedes to deploy their army to fight a war with you? Sweden hasn't fought a war since 1814.

They even sat out both world wars. And here they are, getting ready to fight the United States.
