Who Moves Up, and Who's Pushed Out, in Pete Hegseth's Military
For the past 18 months, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has remade the top ranks of the U.S. military — dismissing or sidelining many whose rise he believes was aided by D.E.I. and replacing them with officers who fit his definition of merit. In the process, many argue he’s prioritizing loyalty to him and his ideas over loyalty to the military itself. Today, Greg Jaffe, a New York Times reporter who covers the Pentagon and the U.S. military, takes us inside the hiring and firing for a single job that has become a case study for Hegseth’s approach. Guest: Greg Jaffe, a reporter covering the Pentagon and the U.S. military for The New York Times. Background reading: Before he was picked to lead the Navy, Adm. Daryl Caudle found ways to signal his support for Mr. Hegseth’s anti-diversity goals. Mr. Hegseth fired the Navy’s top officer, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet.

Luigi Mangione’s High-Risk Legal Strategy
In the two years since a masked man shot and killed a health care executive, the national spotlight has turned to the primary suspect, Luigi Mangione. The overwhelming evidence has pointed to his guilt, and the question on most minds has been: What might the defense of one of the most famous murder suspects in America look like? At a hearing on Friday, we got our first glimpse at an answer, one that appears to include a full-throated embrace of his guilt. Today, Benjamin Weiser, a reporter covering the justice system for The New York Times, and Hurubie Meko, a criminal justice reporter for The Times, discuss the risky defense strategy and why an admission of guilt might be Mr. Mangione’s best bet. Guests: Benjamin Weiser, a reporter covering the justice system for The New York Times. Hurubie Meko, a criminal justice reporter for The New York Times.

What Makes a Killer Thriller?
The New York Times Book Review recently released its list of the 50 best thrillers of the 21st century.

The Secret Spy Network Feeding Russia’s War Machine
Ukraine is running desperately low on interceptor missiles, leaving its cities and people nearly defenseless against Russian missile and drone attacks. How Russia has been able to sustain those attacks has been a mystery — until now. Today, Jane Bradley, a Britain-based investigative reporter for The New York Times, explains her investigation into the spy network that has allowed the Kremlin to keep this war going. Guest: Jane Bradley, a Britain-based investigative reporter for The New York Times. Background reading: A Russian spy who used the Aeroflot office in Tokyo to smuggle high-tech weapon components into Russia has left Japan after a Times report. Operating out of a Tokyo high-rise, a military intelligence unit takes advantage of Japan’s weak espionage laws to find the high-tech equipment that Russia needs to wage war. Photo: Chang W.

Are The Democratic Socialists Winning or Losing?
This week, Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist running for governor in Wisconsin, suffered an upset after a double-digit lead in the polls. Last week, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive, pulled off a stunning victory in Michigan against his well-funded opponent. Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The New York Times, makes sense of what happened in Wisconsin and Michigan, and what it might tell us about the future of the Democratic Party. Guest: Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The New York Times. Background reading: Dr. El-Sayed’s triumph against an establishment-backed candidate in Michigan was a big win for the left. Ms. Hong’s defeat in Wisconsin defied expectations and may have shown that the democratic socialist wave cannot reach beyond urban centers.

All the President’s Planes
When President Trump left Turkey, the White House said publicly that he was boarding the old Air Force One — but that plane was a decoy. In a highly elaborate escape plan prompted by a credible Iranian threat, Trump was secretly moved through a catering cart to a military aircraft, leaving passengers unknowingly flying on the decoy plane. Today, Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, details the operation’s risks and what it reveals about how seriously the administration views the danger to the president. Guest: Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.

The U.S. Missile Stockpile Is Dangerously Low
As the fighting with Iran has dragged on, American forces have been burning through their weapons, creating a shortage of munitions that is leaving the United States and its allies in the region much more vulnerable. Today, Eric Schmitt, a national security correspondent for The New York Times, explains why Washington is running out of key missiles so quickly, and how the munitions shortage might affect the safety of U.S. troops and the Trump administration’s efforts to end the war.

Why Adults Are Getting Cancer at a Younger Age
For years, cancer has been seen as a disease people mostly get when they’re older. That seems to be changing as more young people are getting cancer than ever before.

Is 'Gentle Parenting' Ruining French Children?
“Traditional” French parenting is built on a foundation of firm boundaries, strictness and punishment for misbehavior. Within these rules, children are also allowed freedom and autonomy, which some say results in both well-behaved children and stress-free parents. In recent years, though, American-style “gentle” or “positive” parenting has gained a toehold in the country, unsettling decades of orthodoxy about the best way to raise a French child. It has prompted a fierce debate, with both sides accusing the other of being harmful. In today’s episode, Madeleine Schwartz, a journalist who lives in Paris, talks with Michael Barbaro about the dispute over parenting styles in France and what it says about the eternal search for the “right” way to raise children. On Today’s Episode: Madeleine Schwartz is a journalist and editor in Paris. Background Reading: Did American-Style ‘Gentle Parenting’ Spoil French Children?
