While others focus on

There are two Arkansas executions set for Thursday, Ledell Lee and Stacey Eugene Johnson. Neither execution is stayed currently.
-
In state court, Lee's DNA testing request was denied: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3673402-Lee-DNA-Order.html … / Johnson appealed a similar request:https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3673393-Johnson-DNA-Appeal-Ark-Sup-Ct.html …

In federal court, Johnson's "as-applied" 8th Amend challenge was rejected by Judge Baker, who noted—repeatedly—her 8th Circuit constraints.pic.twitter.com/nMQOJJJqdh
