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 Federal Reserve has announced its first interest rate cut in four years, lowering rates by half a percentage point, signaling a shift in its approach to combating inflation, which has decreased significantly since its peak in 2022. This rate reduction could alleviate high borrowing costs for Americans on mortgages and credit cards. Local finance experts suggest that while immediate benefits might be subtle, businesses may find themselves with more capital for expansion, potentially leading to job creation as unemployment rises. A finance professor advises cautious optimism regarding the long-term effects of this rate cut on the economy.

SUMMARY: A coordinated series of attacks targeting Hezbollah militants involved beepers that detonated in public areas, including grocery stores, injuring the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon. This incident has severely undermined Hezbollah’s confidence in their communication security and the supply chain for their military operations. Initial investigations indicate that the beepers were tampered with and booby-trapped with explosives before reaching Lebanon. American officials suspect a Taiwanese company of supplying the devices, which the company claims were produced by a licensing partner in Hungary. This raises significant concerns about Hezbollah’s operational integrity and security.

Details on how the attack was executed are largely uncertain, as investigators try to piece together how it happened. Here’s what we know so far. (Via CBS).
