By Lindsey Millar
| Arkansas Times
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tubberville (R-Alabama), the former football coach, native of Camden and graduate of Southern Arkansas University, once described the three branches of government as “the House, the Senate and the executive.” He also recently defended white nationalists.

By Lindsey Millar
| Arkansas Times
Aaron Black, the state budget director, has resigned after less than four months in the role. You might remember that Black, who sings in Mike Huckabee’s band Capitol Offense, was found back in 2011 to have taken hundreds of hours of undocumented leave time — almost $20,000 worth — as executive director of the state Tobacco Settlement Commission. Perhaps Black is following a familiar path of cashing in on political connections.
