NASCAR fans have started their excitement as the street race is finally here. The race, however, is adding to massive holiday traffic headaches. The city expects a $113 million windfall, but residents are worried about noise, traffic, holiday violence and poor air quality.

President Joe Biden reacts to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning affirmative action in college admissions, the court’s rejection of his student loan relief plan and the decision to allow discrimination against LGBTQ+ folks based on religion.
