🧾 Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes' Mehdi debunks the president's lies, unpacks the failure of our mainstream media, and has the latest from Gaza, as well as Trump's 'Great Gatsby'-esque Halloween party.

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'"

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

"What are the consequences of genocide, not just in Palestine? Where do we go next?"

No one offered an answer. #Áras25

Sunday Times excerpt 2.11.2025 Irish ed.

A report of senior Garda concern about Government members' rhetoric is unprecedented I think. And entirely justified. #Arson

A new video documents the Israeli occupation's use of advanced missiles to demolish the remaining homes in eastern Gaza - missiles resembling "miniature nuclear bombs" that erase what's left of the city's features.

17-year-old Palestinian Jamil Atef Hannani died from wounds sustained after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in Beit Furik, east of Nablus, after troops intercepted and delayed the ambulance taking him to the hospital.

CNN: Hakeem Jeffries was asked this morning if you're the future of the democratic party. He said no.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: Good to know.

CNN: Do you have a response?

MAMDANI: No. I'm focused on the next two days.

if everyone keeps listen to people like ezra klein the democratic party nor the left will ever win again. this type of framing and mindset is a failed ideology

Netanyahu and the General Advisor of IDF

Israeli soldiers doing r@pe

Netanyahu: "The IDF Chief Lawyer did the most harm to our Hasbara"

Context: The IDF Chief Lawyer, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, leaked a video of IDF soldiers raping Palestinians at the Sde Teiman military prison

Breaking: Following the attempted racially motivated arson attack both the Taoiseach and Tanaiste have called on Min for Justice Jim O’Callaghan to crackdown severely on anyone found to be linking the attack to comments made by the Taoiseach, Tanaiste or Min for Justice.

David McWilliams is predicting that Jim O’Callaghan’s new book ‘How to Pander to the Far Right, Without Seeming to Agree with Them’ will be the must burn book of Christmas 2025.

They're all quoting that Collison piece since it came out like he came down from the mountain with it carved on two stone tablets.

But is he Moses or is he the Golden Calf? Ask yourself what Stripe actually does, and there's your answer.

🚨🚨🚨 #BREAKING | Report that the Israeli General Laywer of the IDF is MISSING

Please pray for her 🙏 all her crime was leaking a video of IDF soldiers raping innocent Palestinians, we don't know yet what happened to her and this is ongoing !!

More people want to see a left government than the continuation of FF/FG.

There is an onus on all on left to build on the momentum from Connolly campaign.

All parties should now join PBP in ruling out coalition with FF and FG, so that the next election can be a clear choice.

Families rescued from blaze after fireworks thrown into Drogheda Ipas centre Almost 30 residents are homeless after the blaze.

If you rounded up every far right thug in the country, there would still be room left over in Mountjoy Jail. The question is, why do FF-FG not do so? They post their crimes online! This brings to something like 40 cases of arson against refugee centres. 99.3% of ppl don’t support these gurriers.

#BREAKING | Israelis protest against the genocide of Gaza then they are getting brutally arrested: "Gaza Gaza do not despair, we will end the occupation"

The word is fascist, my reply is fuck you~

Of course I’m bias, his party has caused the greatest homelessness crisis since the famine, they’re no better than the British

Just the second largest state authorizing judges — state officials — to refuse to perform legal marriages of LGBTQ & interracial couples.

This is their strategy to dismantle civil rights protections: Abuse the First Amendment to legalize discrimination, even by state officials.

Asmongold looks so disgusting to me I can't stand looking at his gross insect face I can't stand it his visage is a crime against public decency it is as obscene as exposed genitalia his mouth is an untended wound his face is draped over an unwilling and inadequate skull stop it

THIS IS
THE GREATEST DAY
OF MY LIFE

Eight-year-old Lana Zaarab is critically ill with a rare disease. Gaza’s hospitals can’t treat her — she needs urgent care abroad to survive.

Homey literally said "touch mass"

There are very few actual journalists left in the country and it has inevitably lead to a reactionary society that has no trust in the government on either the right or left. They should be shunned for being propagandists parading as journalists because they will never face any legal consequences

Ivan Yates has been axed from a podcast he co-presented with Matt Cooper after it was revealed today he was involved with Fianna Fáil's presidential election campaign. Cooper said in a statement he was unaware of this and believes it should have been disclosed

Pro-establishment “journalist” has hurty feelings about his pro-establishment colleague being exposed as pro-establishment.

(The inverted commas are there because I think Cooper is a lobbyist and damages the credibility of real journalists)

He looks so old and so full of hate
