Good morning, Little Rock.

The Catholic Diocese of Little Rock released a statement after Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, asking everyone to pray for his eternal rest — he always cared for those in need.

His funeral will be held on Saturday, April 26 — church members are invited to reflect on his legacy.

Arkansans must have a Real ID starting May 7 to fly on commercial airplanes and enter federal buildings.

Residents should apply in person at revenue offices with required documents (name, birth date, social security number, and address) to meet the new federal standards.

Several revenue offices including Little Rock will open Saturday, April 26 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to offer REAL ID services as Arkansans must bring a passport or birth certificate, proof of address, current driver’s license or ID, and Social Security card + fees similar to those for regular licenses for air travel and federal access after May 7.

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration will open revenue offices in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Texarkana and Monticello this Saturday, April 26 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to help residents get a REAL ID needed for flights and entry to federal facilities beginning May 7; the Little Rock office (1900 West 7th Street) is among those available.

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration is opening revenue offices Saturday, April 26 at locations in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Texarkana and Monticello to help residents get a Real ID before the May 7 deadline — DFA Secretary Jim Hudson urged Arkansans to act quickly as many still hold regular licenses. This move responds to widespread questions about the process needed for travel and federal building access.

Florida State transfer quarterback Trevor Jackson is expected to officially visit Arkansas and will begin his visit in Fayetteville today—joining the Razorbacks in their search for a new quarterback after Madden Iamaleava announced his transfer plans.

Jackson played two snaps last season for the Seminoles.

Arkansas basketball guard Boogie Fland entered the NCAA transfer portal and remains focused on the 2025 NBA Draft after declaring on April 4 — coach John Calipari said he expects Fland to be a first-round pick based on his talent.

Fland is the fourth Arkansas player to join the portal, a move that keeps his draft options open while he continues his college season.
