🥧 We’re talking all things sweet on Daybreak 🍰 The Arkansas Pie Festival is back Saturday, April 25—and it’s bigger than ever. We’re joined by @JaimeLandAR to give us a preview of the event that’s grown into a statewide favorite… and even earned a spot in the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. From a morning 5K to pie samples, live music, food trucks, and a can’t-miss pie-eating contest—there’s something for everyone. Plus, the stakes are high: the winning baker scores a golden ticket to compete at the World Food Championships. Family-friendly fun, fierce competition, and plenty of pie—what more could you ask for? ✨ #Arkansas #Local #Pie #ArkansasNews

Rep. Berry will be deeply missed at the Capitol, ATU, & in the community. My heart goes out to his family as they mourn the loss of a wonderful man. I’ll miss his humor & encouragement. He always brought a laugh and a smile, and I’m thankful to have worked with him.

It’s an exciting day @ArkansasTech with the grand opening of the Ferguson Student Union. I can't wait to see the positive impact this building has on our students!

A very merry Christmas Eve sunrise hike at Pinnacle Mountain State Park thanks to Sam Files and Arkansas State Parks!

I’m excited that Gov. @SarahHuckabee named Blanchard Springs Caverns Arkansas’s 53rd State Park. This is great news for the state& Stone County. My parents both visited the cavern the week it opened& I recently took my nephew& nieces to see the stunning formations that I loved.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go at the Arkansas State Capitol. I’m thankful for the team at the @ARSecofState’s office who work so hard to make the Capitol beautiful and welcoming to visitors during the Christmas season (and year-round)!

Arkansas Tech University’s Drake Riggs completed the 2025 Arkansas Student Leadership Forum with a renewed awareness of and emphasis on the value of humility. “Throughout the conference, the word vulnerability kept coming up, and it really stuck with me,” said Riggs. “As leaders, we sometimes feel like we have to know everything, have everything figured out and always have the perfect answer. But the truth is, no one does. And there’s no point in acting like we do. What I learned is that when you’re honest with your team and admit that you don’t have all the answers, it actually builds deeper connection and earns more respect. Vulnerability doesn’t make you weaker, it makes you more authentic, more approachable and ultimately more effective. Your team is there for a reason, and relying on them isn’t a failure, it’s leadership done right.” Riggs represented ATU at the leadership forum, which took place Nov. 6-8 in Little Rock. It was attended by more than 70 university and college students representing 15 institutions of higher learning. Read more: arkansastechnews.com/riggs-attends-…

Arkansas at the top of the list! #arpx

Americans are free because of the courage displayed by our veterans in the face of evil. We owe a debt of gratitude to the patriots who've served our great country in the armed forces. 🫡🇺🇸

The reunion of Israeli hostages with their families is a powerful reminder that light always conquers darkness. Peace through strength!

I’m excited for Gov. @SarahHuckabee’s announcement of the 1033 Initiative. This initiative strengthens the wraparound assistance available to those in need through the work of Restore Hope & others. I'm also incredibly proud of my friend @MorganWarb, & her work on this project!

Hard to believe the incredible ceremony was one year ago today! Happy 1st Anniversary representing your home state of Arkansas and the first musician to ever have the honor…@JohnnyCash

“This assassin did not only target a man but tried to eliminate the conservative ideas for which he fought. But those ideas have always been bigger than one man. We must all be like Charlie; standing our ground, fighting for truth, and never giving up. In doing so Charlie will not have died, but will live through each and every one of us.” -@haydenpadgett , Chairman, Young Republican National Federation

I am absolutely stunned by Charlie Kirk’s shooting. We must stop the violence. Praying for him and his family.

Just a quick reminder that we’re blessed to live in such a beautiful state, and cooler temps are just around the corner! I really hope you take some time to get outside and enjoy all that “The Natural State” has to offer.

Arkansans are excited about Arkansas, and the data shows so is the rest of the nation & the world! From floating to hiking, mountain biking, camping, rock climbing, great food, and a growing entertainment scene, Arkansas is the place to be! armoneyandpolitics.com/tourists-arkan…

Nothing can heal the harm done to the Brink family, but this announcement is a comfort and reassurance for our State. We are all lifting up prayers of thanks for our law enforcement and prayers of condolence to the entire Brink family.   Let there be no mistake - if you target innocent people, Arkansas law enforcement will hunt you down and bring you to justice
