Andhra Pradesh Citizens United Donald Davidson End of the World Episode India JD Vance Jessica Wildfire Passport Markers SCOTUS The Sentinel Intelligence Transgender WSUM

TMI 07/04/2025 – SCOTUS Will Listen to GOP Argument That There Isn’t Enough Money in Politics, The End of the (Shared) World As We Know It, Two Good News Items for Trans Rights, more

Everyone’s focused (and rightfully so) on the horrific set of rulings that the Supreme Court of the United States just released this past week and a half, which is why it flew under the radar that they’ve accepted a case for this coming year that could end all campaign finance limitations as they still exist. Electing to take up a lawsuit brought by then-Senator JD Vance in 2002, what will be on the table is one of the final prohibitions on campaign spending, and the makeup of this Court makes the 2010 one that said yes to Citizens United v. FEC look moderate.

Next, we have reached the end of the world. I’m not the one to reach this conclusion, and even Jessica Wildfire of The Sentinel Intelligence merely uncovered what linguistic philosopher Donald Davidson accidentally predicted in his essay “A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs” – that as human beings are social animals, we communicate to survive, and to communicate we have to be in the same shared world. Sharing a world, however, seems to be a thing of the past.

Finally, we go over two positive news items for the rights of trans people: first we go abroad to India, where the High Court of Andhra Pradesh has ruled that trans women are legally recognized as women under the Constitution of India; second, we see that back home, action taken by the ALCU and others finally has the Trump regime relenting, and starting to allow updating of gender markers on US passports for trans people.

TMI 06/20/2025 – Jessica Wildfire Says “I Told You So” to the “Can’t Happen Here” Crowd, SCOTUS Makes Horrible Ruling on Gender Affirming Care, Fed Judge Declares Anti-Woke Initiatives “Racist”, more

Jessica Wildfire posted an overview on The Sentinel Intelligence of how people in denial of the rise of 21st century fascism repeatedly told those of us who warned about it that it “can’t happen here”. Then she pointed out how in each and every warning that was given, we are already there, despite some of the loudest media naysayers’ continued attempts to make things seem normal.

Next, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that, while failing to destroy ALL the legal wins trans rights have had recently, puts a serious amount of medical rights for trans people in extreme peril – we review. Finally, we show how a federal judge took apart the Trump Regime’s arguments for its “anti-woke” orders and directly declared them to be “racist”.

Next, we looked at alarming developments in Congress, where provisions buried within Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” are designed to systematically dismantle judicial oversight, including the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would strip judges of their power to issue nationwide injunctions against Trump’s policies. Finally, a federal court has struck down Iowa’s anti-LGBTQ book ban law as largely unconstitutional for its prohibition of school library books “containing descriptions or depictions of sex acts.” All this and more on TMI for Friday, May 30, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 01/24/2025 – Bishop Budde’s Own Words of Mercy, SCOTUS Calls Montana’s ISL Bluff, Our Friend Ahmed Shows Beauty During Hardship, Alabama Uses Prisoners Like Slaves, more

Bishop Mariann Budde is being attacked mercilessly for calling for mercy. We start this episode with something her detractors in the Trump Administration and the media won’t give you: her own words. You can judge for yourself if anything she gave in her appeal to President Trump for mercy was remotely “nasty” or even vaguely wrong. Next, We look at how SCOTUS has rejected Montana’s attempt to use the Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory to circumvent their courts’ rulings on their measures to suppress voting – SCOTUS got this one right!

Then, we give a special look at misterG’s report on his friend Ahmed, a wonderful musician and teacher living in Gaza who has been steadfast in spreading music despite the genocidal warfare there.

Finally, we look at how Alabama’s “work release” program makes the state so much money that they don’t like granting parole – it reduces the number of prisoners they can profit from. All this and more on TMI for Friday, January 24, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

We start this episode with an interview of Amanda Moore, freelance journalist specializing in exposing the far right in the USA, as she alerts us to how the normally difficult life of freelance reporting is being made all the more tenuous by the incoming Trump Administration – even before inauguration! Next, we head to SCOTUS, where the Justices have cleared the way for Hawaii to continue their lawsuit against Big Oil for their decades of greenwashing propaganda.

Then, we go over the new and comprehensive report that Biden’s Department of Justice just released on the over-100-year-old Tulsa Race Massacre. Unlike the first DoJ report from 1921, this 126 page report goes over every crime committed upon the Greenwood community of Tulsa during that horrific event. Finally, tryptophan, the amino acid that is associated with getting sleepy, snuck in during our nap and upset how we envisioned the beginning of life on Earth.

BEST OF TMI 01/10/2025 – SCOTUS Trans Youth Rights Case Can Destroy All Women’s Rights, Finland Seizes Russian Spy Ship, Fighting Smear Campaign Against Jimmy Carter, Quantum Teleportation Breakthrough, more

Rebroadcasting the first TMI for 2025, we look at how the arguments being used to take rights away from trans youth would, if allowed to be the basis by SCOTUS for their decision, also decimate rights for all women in the United States, cis and trans alike! Next, we move over to Finland, who in investigating the damage caused to the power cable that connects Estonia to their grid, took in a tanker that had a full complement of Russian spy equipment and personnel.

Then, we look at the despicable attacks being leveled against former President Jimmy Carter by CNN, Fox and others, all based around his 2006 book where he recalled his attempts in the late 1970s to make peace between Israel and Palestine, referring to Israel as an “apartheid” state. They dug up all the old controversy without noting that NONE of what Carter reported would be considered remotely inaccurate today. Finally, we take a glimpse at a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, where they were able to instantaneously transmit the complete photonic state between locations separated by 30km worth of very busy Internet fiber cable.

On this week’s “TMI with Aldous Tyler”, we kick off with a discussion on SCOTUS’ July 1 ruling on Trump v. United States. This landmark ruling, which grants presidents immunity from prosecution when carrying out “official acts”, has sparked a nationwide debate about the extent of presidential power, coming from sources as close as Justice Sotomayor.

Next, we’ll delve into Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent on the death of the Chevron Doctrine. Kagan’s scathing critique of her conservative colleagues, whom she accuses of a power grab, has sent ripples through the judicial community. Finally, we’ll examine the controversial decisions by Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma to incorporate Christianity into their public schools. These states’ moves to bring religion into the classroom have ignited a fiery debate about the separation of church and state.

On today’s TMI, we pull back the curtain on how public universities such as UCLA, founded on land grants and given billions in tax dollars, are joining the huge pharmaceutical companies in fighting to keep the prices of the drugs they developed out of reach of most Americans, despite the massive support given those research facilities BY the people to begin with.

Next, we reveal that if you plan on holding a political protest in Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi, you’ll be on the hook if anyone attending breaks the law, all thanks to a ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that SCOTUS declined to review. Finally, we wrap up with the scientific discovery of a massive black hole right in our neighborhood – cosmologically, that is.
