LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Fox Business responds to the no good, very bad jobs report ... by celebrating? Baritromo: You wanted a weak report, you got it, was this too weak? Louis Navellier: No, not at all.

Fox anchor Trace Gallagher should issue a correction after he falsely smeared Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Gallagher claimed "we now know that they found three bags of methamphetamine in this car," That has proven to be false -- will Trace correct the record?

Here's John Solomon ambling away from MS NOW's Vaughn Hillyard after he admits that there's no intelligence that shows any votes were flipped in the 2020 election. He blurts out "I'm researching" and "not yet" when Hillyard presses if he has proof the election was stolen. x.com/VaughnHillya...

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

Trump tells Fox that images of the Minab School strike that left 100+ children dead and show fragments from US missiles are possibly AI Yingst: Is is possible old intelligence or a mistake ... led to this event? Trump: It is, but it's also possible those images that you have are AI generated

Trump rates Lindsey Graham a 99/100, he docks a point for Graham criticizing January 6th "He had one bad moment, J6 when he stood up and said 'now I've had it, this is it' ... then he called me 40 minutes later and said, 'did I really say that' and he took it back, so I give him a 99/100"

Not sure this is a message that Brian Kilmeade really wants his viewers to take to heart "Raise the standards a little bit about who you believe and what you believe"

Ben Shapiro on Fox News: "This MOU appears to be, just from the text, a disaster. This does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that was set by the administration at the beginning." "In my opinion ... the VP, the chief negotiator on this particular project, has not well served the president"

Fox's Kilmeade: "It doesn't look like Iran was brought to it's knees ... it seems like Iran got a lot out of it ... maybe the president wasn't expecting, because he has enough plates in the air he can't be in every detail... maybe VP wasn't the right person to bring this conflict to an end"

Fox anchor perplexed by Trump's threat to blow up Oman: "Not quite sure what that was all about" John Roberts: "President Trump became the first American president that I know of to ever threaten to take military action against Oman"

Fox News is spending May Day -- a day to celebrate workers' rights and labor -- defending the wealthy and upper class They're arguing calls for the wealthy to pay their fair share not just socialist or communist, but "anti-American"

Earhardt: Someone else we wish would resign, Mamdani Kilmeade: That's not what the prompter said Earhardt: Such a socialist, and he gets up there and smiles, probably a nice guy, but I don't agree with his policies. It's just so frustrating to hear him talk about inequality ...

Fox News doc on lower fertility rate: "The problem is teens and young adults, from ages 15-19 the fertility rate is down 7%, and it's down 70% over the last two decades, meaning we're telling people that are young not have babies, to wait until they're in a more stable life situation"

In which the president says a lot of very true things that have been true this entire time now that these people are criticizing him rather than supporting him.

Trump just posted a long screed against Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones with the worst insult he can imagine: They were all kicked off TV. “Now they think they get some ‘clicks’ because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them…”

Fox's Griff Jenkins proudly declares his counter to TACO Jenkins: "Let me give you another acronym, NACHO: Never avoids confronting hard obstacles ... I made that up on my own!"

Fox anchor Dana Perino callously jokes that "it finally might be Infrastructure Week" if Trump makes good on his threats to destroy bridges and power plants in Iran (If anyone still needed convincing that Fox News doesn't actually care about the Iranian people, here ya go)

Fox correspondent: "Hegseth, Caine not giving a timeline for this military engagement, but they did reiterate the president's commitment that this is not going to be some kind of forever war. So sometime between now and forever is when it's going to end." h/t @mcmasterreed.bsky.social

Alex Jones: Infowars will be shutting down in “the middle of next month” On Tim Pool's show, Jones slurred his way through the announcement before leaving early; Pool later said Jones had "a very serious medical issue" At least one panelist mentioned they could "smell" the alcohol on Jones

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth: "Israel has clear missions as well for which we are grateful. Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force ... no stupid rules of engagement."

Face The Nation reports on first known U.S. casualties in our war with Iran Trump video: "The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties, that often happens in war" Brennan: "That prophecy has now come true ... 3 service members are dead, 5 are seriously wounded"

Fox News anchor: Some GOP members are "silently, quietly, breathing a sigh of relief" that SCOTUS overturned Trump's tariffs How brave of them to silently admit the tariffs were hurting the economy
