A bragging lie or a genuine threat of World War III? “The TMI Show” with hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan breaks down this latest geopolitical firestorm! President Donald Trump’s head-spinning reversal on Ukraine (he loves them, he hates them, he loves them again) takes center stage. Now Trump is sending more weapons to Kyiv, days after pausing deliveries of air defense missiles and precision-guided artillery because the U.S. was running out. Trump’s flip-flop comes as Ukraine reels from big Russian air barrages, with 11 civilians killed and over 80 injured, including seven kids, in recent attacks.

On Monday, dozens of heavily armed federal agents, decked out in full military gear like they were invading a hostile foreign country, stormed Los Angeles’ iconic MacArthur Park in what they claimed was an immigration enforcement operation, though it is unknown if anyone was arrested.

Local ctivists sounded the alarm, with megaphones blaring an urs. Protesters clashed with agents, screaming for them to leave, while Bass used an agent’s phone to argue with a senior official. Border Patrol’s chief, Gregory Bovino, scoffed at the mayor,…

LIVE 10 AM Eastern time, Streaming Anytime: The “Big Beautiful Bill” is now law. What happens next? On “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan,” we visit President Trump’s over-the-top Fourth of July signing at the White House, complete with B-2 bombers, marking this sweeping policy as his second term’s signature achievement.
