Germany’s political establishment suffers a major electoral blow, ICE receives extraordinary authority over a detained hunger striker, a billionaire backs an untested treatment for his daughter and Malta offers young drivers a lucrative reason to surrender their licenses.On today's TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan...Germany’s right-wing AfD has delivered a punishing election result in Saxony-Anhalt, exposing deep voter anger over the economy, pensions and the cost of living. Could this regional vote signal a much larger political shift heading toward Germany’s 2029 national election?A Cuban detainee’s hunger strike has led ICE into deeply controversial medical territory. A federal court authorized increasingly invasive measures, raising serious questions about bodily autonomy, detention conditions and how far the government may go to keep someone alive.After a devastating medical crisis left his daughter unable to see, billionaire Bill Ackman turned to elite doctors and experimental science. The resulting first-in-human treatment offered a glimmer of possibility, but the story also reveals how far money can push medicine before the evidence catches up.Malta has an unusual offer for young residents tired of traffic: surrender your driver’s license for five years and collect nearly $29,000.
