The crew reacts to Royce White announcing he's transgender and plans to enter the 2027 WNBA draft, and D.L. breaks down how MAGA is already trying to otherize Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed by stoking fear over his name and religion — including the absurd claim that he'll force Americans to use "Arabic numbers."
