SCOTUS And The Future Of Indigenous Sovereignty

As the vote count continues from Tuesday's midterm elections, both parties are eyeing next month's Senate runoff in Georgia, but Arizona and Nevada are also in the spotlight. Democrats can clinch control of the Senate if incumbents win in at least two of those states.

The Supreme Court this week heard arguments in Haaland v. Brackeen, a case challenging the Indian Child Welfare Act. Rebecca Nagle, host of Crooked's "This Land" podcast, explains why it could ultimately upend other legal protections for Native Americans. 

And in headlines: a federal judge in Texas struck down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, Tropical Storm Nicole barreled through Florida and the Taliban has banned women and girls from using gyms and parks in Afghanistan.
