It's been two years since the Taliban entered Kabul, throwing the final days of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan into chaos. Crowds of people desperate to leave the country surrounded the airport.
Tens of thousands of Afghans were airlifted out before American troops pulled out. Many more are still trying to reach the U.S. Some are risking their lives to cross the border from Mexico.
NPR's Tom Bowman has the story of one family who traveled from Afghanistan to Virginia, by way of Pakistan and Mexico, to get medical care for their young daughter.

Lost Debate - Bidenomics, America’s Bad Credit, New Trump Charges
Ravi is joined by guest co-host Isaac Saul, founder and author of the popular newsletter Tangle.
President Biden recently coined his economic agenda “Bidenomics,” but the White House’s efforts to sell the plan haven’t been successful. So what is Bidenomics, and was it a risk for the Biden admin to stamp the President’s name on it?
Fitch Ratings downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating from ‘AAA’ to ‘AA+’ this month. Ravi and Isaac discuss the first downgrade by a major rating firm in over a decade and whether there’s cause for concern.
Finally, the hosts review the legal ins and outs of Trump’s latest indictment, the former President’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and the political implications of his continued legal troubles.
