First look:   Psaki asked if Joe "was really in charge?" (see her dodge it) Squad member calls MN killing, "government funded murder" Trump says McConnell "helpless to stop Biden's court packing plan Pentagon develops implantable virus-hunting tech (no thanks)

Press Secretary dodges question asking if Biden was "really in charge" Headline: Psaki Bomb: Press Secretary Dodges When Asked Whether Joe Biden ‘Was Really in Charge’ The First take: One of the major skills required of every press secretary involves artfully avoiding a direct answer to almost every question asked by the media. Secretary Psaki flashed those skills on Monday when confronted with question posted on Twitter by Senator John Cornyn wondering if Mr. Biden "was really in charge." Psaki didn't exactly say yes or no. Watch it below, and then be worried. SEE THE VIDEO HERE BONUS: Biden's gun control push poses a serious danger to Dems in upcoming midterm elections

Squad member declares Wright's death "GOV'T-funded murder" Headline: ‘No More Policing’: Rep. Rashida Tlaib Claims Daunte Wright Shooting Was ‘Government Funded Murder’ The First take: We're frankly not surprised by the extreme reaction to what appears to be an accidental shooting by police in Brooklyn Center, MN. Democrat House representative Tlaib's renewed call for completely defunding police in the wake of the shooting was expected. What we disagree with is categorizing this tragedy as a "murder" before any investigation can really begin, much less deliver a conclusion. We are all owed "due process."

Trump says McConnell "helpless" to stop Biden from packing the court Headline: Trump: McConnell 'helpless' to stop Biden from packing court The First take: Former President Trump followed up on his verbal attacks on Senator Mitch McConnell with a statement released on Monday declaring the former majority leader to be "helpless" when it comes to stopping Biden and the Democrats' push to expand the Supreme Court. McConnell, while not commenting on Mr. Trump's attack, has called the court packing scheme a "direct assault on our nation's independent judiciary."

You first... Military develops implant to constantly test you for COVID-19 Headline: U.S. Military Develops ‘Subdermal Implant’ To Constantly Test Subject’s Blood For Infection: Report The First take: It sounds a bit like something out of the old "X-Files" series. But, it's real. The intent of the project is to stay a step ahead of the next possible pandemic. And the Pentagon says there is no ability for the injected "tissue-like" gel to track the recipient. Right... sure... let us know when agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully get the jab. CHECK OUT THE DETAILS Bonus: US pushes the "pause" button on J&J vaccine after a 6th woman has complications
