Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Horses in North America

When one thinks of the history of North America, it often invokes images of native Americans and cowboys riding on horseback. 


However, horses weren’t in the Westen Hemisphere when Europeans arrived. There was a time when if native people had to move from one place to another, they had to do so on foot. 


But, while that is true, the truth is more complex because if you go back far enough, there was a time when horses were in North America. 


Learn more about the complicated history of horses in North America, and how they unleashed a revolution, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Pain at the Pump – Why Is Gas So Expensive?

Gas prices have been rising for two months straight. Now, on average, a tank of gas costs more than $5 nationwide. To try to bring prices back down, an organization of the world’s biggest oil producers, OPEC+, has promised to increase production. And here in the U.S., the federal government has been releasing one million barrels of oil a day from its gas reserves.

So why are prices still high? Today we’ll hear from trusted and well-known expert Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Patrick is breaking down, step by step, how we got here and revealing insights into the oil market that you don’t often hear about.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Somewhere, John Roberts is Screaming into an Expensive Pillow

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic and election law Professor Richard Hasen for what could be called “Amicus: Wheels Coming Off Edition”. We’re still waiting for a bevy of blockbuster decisions, and despite Chief Justice John Roberts’ solemn wish to steady the ship, events at the January 6th select committee seem destined to scupper it. Joan, Rick and Dahlia talk about what’s to come in the most unusual last two weeks of June at the court that any of them can remember. 

In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia and Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern on why everybody needs to stop saying “today is the day we get Dobbs” (and why that day is likely to be the last possible day this term), on how this court overturns precedent without overturning precedent, plus Justices Barrett and Gorsuch go at it - some of the time.

Consider This from NPR - Q&A: If Abortion Is Illegal, What Happens Next?

There are few issues as highly debated and emotionally charged as abortion.

And in the coming days, the Supreme Court will issue a ruling that could fundamentally change the landscape for abortion in the U.S.

The possibility that the court could strike down Roe v. Wade has raised all kinds of legal questions, as people consider what a post-Roe America might look like.

We asked members of the NPR audience what questions they had about abortion access and reproductive rights.

Khiara Bridges, a law professor at UC Berkeley who studies reproductive rights, and NPR's Sarah McCammon, who covers abortion policy, answer some of their questions.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
