An ABC News data analysis found pollution from daily vehicle traffic is associated with higher health risks for people living near interstates, expressways and freeways. To Amy Stelly and other residents of New Orleans' Tremé neighborhood, the elevated stretch of Interstate 10 built alongside their homes more than a half-century ago is known as "The Monster." The highway, called the Claiborne Expressway, has become a vital passageway, allowing commuters and commerce traffic to cross over one of the city's most historic neighborhoods into the Central Business District. But to Stelly, a designer, teacher and New Orleans native, the expressway is a concrete behemoth that tore through Tremé – the nation's oldest Black community and the birthplace of jazz music – destroying its economy, and forcing businesses and residents to leave.

Kennedy Jr. rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic because of his strident opposition to vaccines. Yet, he insists he’s not anti-vaccine. He has associated with influential people on the far right – including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn – to raise his profile. Yet, he portrays himself as a true Democrat inheriting the mantle of the Kennedy family. As he challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells on the campaign trail about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows. Though Kennedy’s primary challenge to a sitting president is widely considered a longshot, he’s been sucking up media attention due to his famous name and the possibility that his run could weaken Biden ahead of what is expected to be a close general election in 2024. He’s drawn praise from Republican presidential candidates like...
