Just watched whole extended 60 Minutes interview of Trump. My god, @Douthat60 is good at this! The variety of tools he deployed to prevent Trump from dominating the conversation while at the same time not losing the exchange to antagonism and shouting. Trump did not at all come out of this encounter unscathed. But in the strangest way--at least to me--Douthat did more to humanize him than I can remember, while still holding him excruciatingly accountable. What a smart hire that is immediately paying off.

1. Olivia interviewed Stevens the night *after* Stevens endorsed Rogers.
2. Even if it was before, as imagined in your little conspiracy, it would have been a scoop, not a Zionist plot––which is what your camp calls two Zionists speaking.
3. I'm going to start calling every story we do a "deployment." Way more fun than calling it "reporting."

BREAKING: Nearly 10,000 Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa since the start of 2026 alone.
Another 4,000 kidnapped. More than 1,000 churches attacked.
Where is the global outrage?

More reason @thefp is the new publication of the decade-- @Douthat60 's column today, his second, is spectacular and gives off the feeling that there's been an unshackling for Ross in departing the Times, just as Bari unshackled herself six years ago. thefp.com/p/ross-douthat-how…

Effective Altruism recalls a classic line from Dostoyevsky: “I love humanity, but… The more I love humanity in general, the less I love man in particular.”
It’s what happens when loving something in the abstract devalues it in reality.

Cambridge University's education faculty – former home of Jason Arday – has appointed as assistant research professor who wrote that Muslims should study engineering and computers 'to produce advanced weaponry for Jihad in order that the deen [Islam] may dominate over all other deens.'.
Two weeks ago we covered one chapter Ahmed wrote in a Hizb pamphlet – published in 2002, and republished in 2017 (Ahmed was not involved in the republication) – where she attacked ‘western education’ as a ‘threat’ to Muslims, condemned democracy and integration, and criticised British schools for teaching pupils that child marriage is wrong.
However, the same pamphlet includes a second, even more radical chapter, co-written by Ahmed and another senior Hizb activist, Nazreen Nawaz, head of its women’s section.
This describes Hizb’s plan to create a fully Islamic education system as part of the Islamic dictatorship, the Khilafah, which is its core goal. As the chapter puts it: ‘nothing will be contained within the curriculum that contradicts with Islam, such as the teaching of the ideas of freedom, nationalism, democracy or evolution in a positive light’.
‘Nor can there be any schools established on any other religion, sect or race… Even the non-Muslims need to be educated under the educational curriculum of Islam… by pushing them to think about the correct belief in life.’

Almost exactly a year ago to the day, I uncovered that a dozen of the most viral images presented as evidence of famine in Gaza in fact showed children with unrelated medical issues, including cystic fibrosis and autoimmune conditions.
The investigation earned me death threats, calls for me to be tried at The Hague, and jabs by a high-profile comedian on national TV—despite the fact that we’ve had to issue exactly zero corrections on our story.
Our point was simply to tell readers that if there was a famine in Gaza, photographs of these children were not evidence of it.
What is indisputable today is that there is currently no famine in Gaza.
That is the major finding from a UNICEF-led team that recently produced the most comprehensive and robust nutrition survey of Gaza since the war began.
The survey found that less than a year after a famine was declared in Gaza, the territory has one of the lowest malnutrition rates in the region. A recovery that swift is not just “miraculous,” in the words of a malnutrition researcher I spoke with—it raises questions in and of itself. Questions like: How can a war-torn territory go from famine to showing some of the lowest rates of child malnutrition in the region in less than a year?
In my report today for @TheFP, I investigate that question, its implications, and what it means for the debate over the official decision to classify a famine in Gaza still raging 12 months on.

Tucker Carlson preaches that debt is slavery, that lending at interest is the sin of usury, and that a society organized around debt "enslaves people."
He then reads an ad for a mortgage lender and personally endorses it: "We recommend American Financing. They're called America's home for home loans for a reason."
