Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · 06/10/2026
While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone. We'll keep fighting this political persecution.

Kilmar Ábrego Garcia hearing on his deportation case is suddenly canceled
The government was moving to vacate a preliminary injunction preventing ICE from detaining and deporting him, while his legal team was trying to make the injunction permanent.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Fox News is now defending CNN, which is obviously the smart thing to do. Even they realize the tides always turn. They said, “Don’t ban them. Or one day, they’ll ban us.” The MAGA movement is really falling apart.

Among other things, this means that, even if #SCOTUS *grants* a stay of Judge Talwani’s earlier injunction against the USPS rule (which seems increasingly unlikely), the rule would *still* not go into effect; the Court would have to freeze *this* injunction, too.

Haaretz: A week and a half before October 7, 2023 UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Abu Dhabi and spoke with him for 45 minutes.

In that conversation, bin Zayed warned that Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was planning a major operation against Israel.

Bin Zayed urged Netanyahu to take the situation seriously. To his surprise, however, the prime minister reacted with relative calm. Netanyahu said that, in his assessment, Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank area, and he reassured bin Zayed that Israel was prepared for any scenario.

Shoebill storks are monogamous pairs that bond for life. Shoebill live up to 40 years. Raising a massive, prehistoric-looking chick requires an immense amount of food, such as lungfish and other fish. The female usually lays 2 eggs. Pairs choose only 1 chick that they will feed and raise.
