A Billion-Dollar Disclosure, a Parcel Bomb & a Record-Breaking Cat | TMI Ep 411

from The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan

On today's TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan:Millions of Americans with federal student loans are waking up to a dramatically different repayment system.Beginning July 1, the biggest overhaul of federal student lending in decades takes effect, impacting roughly 43 million borrowers. We break down what happens to the SAVE repayment plan, why monthly payments could increase for millions of borrowers, how Education Secretary Linda McMahon is reshaping federal lending under the Trump administration, and the larger debate over who should ultimately pay for higher education—the borrower, taxpayers, or the universities themselves.Then, a shocking attack in one of Europe's wealthiest enclaves.A parcel bomb exploded inside a luxury residential building in Monaco, critically injuring Ukrainian construction billionaire Vadym Yermolaiev, his wife, and their 13-year-old son. We examine what investigators know so far, why authorities believe the family was deliberately targeted, and what this unusual attack could signal.Next, President Trump releases a financial disclosure unlike any in modern presidential history.The filing reveals more than $2 billion in reported income, with over half tied to cryptocurrency ventures, including the $TRUMP meme coin and World Liberty Financial. We explore how Trump's transformation from crypto skeptic to one of the industry's biggest beneficiaries is reshaping the relationship between digital assets and Washington.And finally...Meet Toby, the Michigan kitten who just earned a Guinness World Record with an astonishing 28 toes. We explain the fascinating genetics behind polydactyl cats and why these extra "thumbs" have fascinated cat lovers—and scientists—for generations.Smart analysis. Bigger questions. Stories that matter.New episodes weekdays at 10 a.m. ET.
