  • UK Revokes Citizenship, AI Reshapes Work, VA Electoral Shift & The Ant Black Market | TMI Ep362

    UK Revokes Citizenship, AI Reshapes Work, VA Electoral Shift & The Ant Black Market | TMI Ep362
    Apr 16 2026
    On the TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan today, we’ve got a rare and controversial citizenship case in the UK, a deeper look at how AI is reshaping jobs, a major election shift in Virginia, and one of the strangest trafficking stories you’ll hear all week.

    First: A British-born citizen has had his citizenship revoked over alleged ties to Russia. The UK government says the move is “in the public good,” but the evidence remains classified. The case raises serious questions about due process, national security, and how far governments can go when the accusations are secret.

    Then: AI isn’t just replacing jobs—it’s breaking them apart. Instead of eliminating roles outright, companies are slicing work into smaller tasks, handing some to machines and leaving humans with what’s left. The result? A more fragmented, less stable job market where the question isn’t “Will AI replace you?”—it’s “What part of your job is still yours?”

    Also today: Virginia joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. That means the state is pledging its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner—once enough states join to hit 270 electoral votes. It doesn’t change anything yet, but if it activates, it could quietly rewrite how presidential elections are decided in the U.S.

    And finally: yes, someone tried to smuggle thousands of ants through an airport. Kenyan authorities arrested a man carrying over 2,000 live queen ants, part of a growing black market for exotic insect collectors. It sounds absurd—but it’s real, and it’s part of a larger trend in wildlife trafficking that’s getting smaller… and harder to detect.

  • EU Power Shift, Social Media Truth, Brain Tumor Voices & Food Damaging Knees | TMI Ep361

    EU Power Shift, Social Media Truth, Brain Tumor Voices & Food Damaging Knees | TMI Ep361
    Apr 16 2026
    On the TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan today, we’ve got a major power shift brewing in Europe, a reality check on what social media has become, a medical case that sounds like fiction but isn’t, and a diet story that goes deeper than weight.

    First: EU leadership is pushing to eliminate veto power among member states. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says it’s time to move to majority voting on foreign policy decisions — a move that would fundamentally reshape how the European Union operates. The timing? Right after Viktor Orbán lost power, removing one of the biggest blockers to EU policy. We break down what this means for Ukraine, NATO alignment, and the future of centralized power in Europe.

    Then: a reality check on your phone. New data shows only 18% of what you see on social media comes from friends and family — while 35% comes from influencers and algorithmic recommendations and 29% from ads. Platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube aren’t broken — they’ve just quietly shifted from social networks to “interest media.” Translation: you’re not connecting… you’re consuming.

    Also today: a medical case that sounds unbelievable — until it isn’t. A woman began hearing voices telling her she had a brain tumor and needed to get checked. Doctors initially assumed a psychiatric issue. A scan later confirmed it: she had a tumor, and after surgery, the voices disappeared. It’s a powerful reminder that the brain doesn’t always signal problems the way we expect.

    And finally: your diet may be doing more damage than you realize. A new study of 600 adults found that people who consume more ultra-processed foods have higher levels of fat embedded inside their muscles — even when controlling for weight, exercise, and calorie intake. That kind of muscle degradation is linked to knee osteoarthritis, meaning the long-term effects of what you eat may show up where you feel it most: your joints.
