SUMMARY: Over two weeks, accidents on I-30 have caused significant delays in both eastbound and westbound lanes, frustrating drivers. Marlon Thomas, a daily truck driver in the area, notes the situation has improved but driving remains hazardous due to ongoing construction from the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARD), part of a six-lane widening project in Saline County. ARD’s Dave Parker assures that previous public concerns have been addressed, urging drivers to remain vigilant as they navigate the construction zone, particularly between mile markers 111 and 114. Safety is a shared responsibility, and drivers must exercise caution.

Following a string of crashes along I-30 over the past few weeks, drivers in Arkansas are now voicing their concerns with the interstate to traffic officials.

SUMMARY: The Fayetteville, Arkansas “No Kings” protest began at St. Paul’s Church parking lot and marched down a closed Dickson Street to the Upper Ramble. The event featured music, speeches, and chants against leaders who organizers believe place themselves above the law. Part of a nationwide movement, the group emphasized upholding the rule of law and defending democratic values, not targeting any specific president. Attendees carried signs reading “NO KINGS” and “DEMOCRACY FOR ALL.” The gathering concluded with community outreach, voter registration efforts, and collaboration with local groups, as organizers vowed to continue advocating for civic engagement and fair governance.

SUMMARY: Arkansas protesters plan to join nationwide rallies timed with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C., emphasizing that democracy is under threat. Tiffany’s director, Gladys, from Fayetteville’s Omni Center, stresses the need to defend democracy amid concerns over President Trump’s administration, which critics view as anti-democratic. University of Arkansas professor Andrew Dowdall compares the movement to past protests, noting public perception hinges on whether demonstrations remain peaceful. However, Washington County Republican Vice Chairman John LaTour criticizes the protests as violent and lawless. Organizers assure a peaceful march Saturday at 2 p.m. in Fayetteville, despite some criticism.
