  • Can Kamala Harris find her footing on immigration?

    Can Kamala Harris find her footing on immigration?
    Jul 22 2024
    In just a matter of hours, a Kamala Harris for President campaign has gone from a far-flung possibility, to all but certain likelihood.

    It puts the Vice President in a tricky spot. She's got to run on President Biden's achievements, while avoiding the more challenging aspects of his record.

    Biden entrusted Harris with some of the most challenging parts of his portfolio, including voting rights, the rollback of reproductive rights and immigration.

    Harris has struggled to find her footing on immigration. Early on, she faced criticism for having not visited the southern border.

    As Republicans like Texas Governor Greg Abbott started bussing migrants to northern cities, the Vice President's mansion in Washington DC became a drop-off point.

    Even though Kamala Harris isn't yet the official nominee, both voters and the republican party will force her to answer for the Biden administration's immigration policies in this year's election.

    Biden's out. Here's what's next.
    Jul 21 2024
    President Biden has made a historic decision to endorse his vice president, Kamala Harris, to take his spot at the top of the Democratic ticket.

    The move comes after weeks of calls for Biden to step aside after concerns about his fitness for the job.

    NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Senior White House Correspondent Tamara Keith and National Political Correspondent Mara Liasson about what this means for the Democratic Party in the months ahead to the election.

  • 'Twister,' 'Twisters' and the actual practice of storm chasing

    'Twister,' 'Twisters' and the actual practice of storm chasing
    Jul 21 2024
    A plucky meteorology heroine; a male rival with no shortage of hubris; and some very, very big storms: that's the basic formula behind the new disaster action movie Twisters, which follows storm chasers around Oklahoma amid a tornado outbreak.

    It's a standalone sequel to the 1996 film Twister, a box-office hit in its day which also spurred a lot of real-life research into severe storms.

    We've since learned a lot about how tornadoes behave, and the technology of storm chasing has improved dramatically.

    But behind these summer blockbusters is a mystery that scientists are still trying to solve: why do tornadoes form at all?
