Tough time to say anything nice about CBS News, but this is the most substantive interview I've heard Trump give in years.

60 MINUTES REPORT: Ross Douthat interviews President Trump in his first sit-down interview since the 2026 midterm elections.

The wide-ranging conversation covered immigration and corruption, Iran and artificial intelligence, his potential successors and his own mortality. The interview begins with the election results.

Smart move from Zohran. AOC would be a great candidate. But if she doesn't run, the left lane should be filled by a trade union leader who can recement the left politics <--> working-class politics <--> redistribution association.

Scoop: Zohran Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for president, people familiar with the talks tell me.

He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum.

Behind closed doors, Mamdani has also said he's uncertain whether AOC will launch a White House run, the sources said.

This is a v good response to the "bourgeois democracy" question. On the second half, I'd foreground what "protecting minority opinion" actually means: guaranteeing baseline civil liberties and negative freedoms, our liberalism, while rejecting minorities the power to obstruct majoritarian will on everyday policy.

Folks have been asking MUG many questions. We love it. Keep 'em coming! @LukePickrell explains why "bourgeois democracy" is a fallacy & how our current republics obstruct working-class power. Future videos will cover our 7 Points of Unity. Find Luke's letters in @CosmonautMag
