Parts of the world are already in 2026. Japan, China, and New Zealand already held celebrations earlier today. It comes as there was an increased police presence in Sydney as Australia rung in the new year after the deadly Bondi [[ BOND-eye ]] Beach attack earlier this month. Another million or so revelers are expected to pack New York City's Times Square for the Big Apple's annual celebration.        Somalis convicted of fraud in Minnesota could have their citizenship stripped by the Trump administartion. The state and Governor Tim Walz have been under renewed scrutiny after a video from conservative independent journalist Nick Shirley claimed to show abandoned day cares that have received taxpayer money. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the denaturalization process is something the Department of Homeland Security and Department of State is looking at right now.        Those New York City and Boston may see some light snow as they welcome in 2026. It's from a weaker area of low pressure traveling down from southern Canada that's shifting East over the Great Lakes region. Snow is forecast to fall from Ohio to Pennsylvania as a result before moving Northeast.        President Trump has issued the first two vetoes in his second term. Trump rejected a pair of bills that passed Congress with bipartisan support, one a pipeline measure, and the other legislation that would include more land for the Miccosukee Tribe in Florida. The pipeline bill, known as the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, looked to bring forward completion of a pipeline project to bring clean water to southeastern Colorado.        Zohran Mamdani will be sworn as New Yorkers welcome in the new year. The democratic socialist is breaking from tradition and will be sworn in, according to his transition team, with "all New Yorkers" on January 1st. Democratic progressive stars including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders will be featured, with AOC delivering opening remarks, and Sanders administering the ceremonial oath of office.        The College Football Playoff resumes tonight. Number ten Miami will take on number two Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas. The winner will take on the victor of tomorrow's Sugar Bowl in New Orleans between number six Ole Miss and number three Georgia.
