This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

Not just needless -- *unconstitutional.* The police were cut-and-pasting the same boilerplate to get no-knock warrants for every drug search. SCOTUS has clearly said this violates the 4A. When I asked Finkelstein about it, he denied it was unconstitutional.
That ought to be disqualifying.

If you've followed @radleybalko.bsky.social work on the matter, you'll remember Hugh Finkelstein for his proclivity to issue needless no-knock warrants in Little Rock like they were candy from a PEZ dispenser.
Attorneys Lucas Rowan and Hugh Finkelstein will replace Casey Tucker and Herbert Wright, who were elected to different judicial seats earlier this year.

While the number of people crossing the border increased exponentially since Trump’s wall went up a new study reveals an 86% reduction in wildlife crossings. At well over $20 million dollars a mile, Trump’s wall is both a wastefully expensive tactical failure & an ecological disaster.
