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?

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"

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
