“The TMI Show” with hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan is on fire. And so is much of the country and the world.
Wildfires are torching Arizona and beyond, with over 3.6 million acres burned in so far this year. Arizona’s Dragon Bravo Fire, now 112,341 acres in size, has razed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and 70+ structures, with extreme winds and low humidity making life difficult for firefighters. Critics blame poor forest management and funding shortages, while climate change debates still rage—all the scientists blame global warming, while pro-business polluters deflect and try to pretend basic science isn’t real. We are joined by Dr. Reese Halter, a distinguished conservation biologist, award-winning broadcaster, and author, passionately advocating for bees, trees, seas, and nature’s wellness through compelling storytelling and global environmental activism.

• Court Says ICE Is Racist: A Ninth Circuit ruling suspends ICE’s violent raids in L.A., noting that they’re based on racial profiling. Civil rights groups are happy, but the Trump administration may find racist friends in the Supreme Court. Will the Fourth Amendment prevail or be further gutted?
