First look:   White House defends CDC bowing to teachers union on schools GOP House leadership battle heats up Trump launches new online outlet -- Will social media block it? Texas Dem who called I'm Scott an "Oreo" has resigned...buuuuut

White House defends CDC bowing to teachers union on reopening schools Headline: White House Defends CDC Consulting Teachers Union Over School Reopening Guidelines The First take: Press Secretary Psaki announced it was customary and in line with "longstanding best practices" for the CDC to consult with "organizations and groups" that will be impacted by CDC guidance. Just an FYI for you Ms. Psaki, there is a huge group being impacted by the CDC's "guidance" -- they are called PARENTS. We're guessing parents don't matter to you as much as unions which donated $20mil to Democrats in the last election cycle.  READ IT ALL HERE BONUS: Jen Psaki also lied about the border crisis yesterday

GOP leadership battle Headline: Scalise supporting Stefanik for leadership spot held by Cheney The First take: The Republican party's current divide is on full display as Trump-friendly House members may vote to oust the firmly anti-Trump Cheney. If Cheney is ousted and replaced by NY's Elise Stefanik, you can be sure Nancy Pelosi and Democrats will work overtime to declare the GOP to be fracturing, instead of attempting to unite the party.  GET THE WHOLE STORY HERE Bonus: Romney defends Cheney: She "refuses to lie" Bonus: GOP leader caught on "hot mic" talking about Cheney

Trump launches new platform after social media block continues Headline: Just IN: Trump Launches His Own Communication Platform Months After Being Banned on Twitter The First take: You can't interact directly with former President Trump. But, you can post what Mr. Trump writes on YOUR social media where he is currently blocked or banned. How long will that last? We're betting Big Tech is looking for a way to prevent people from sharing Trump's opinion. GET  THE STORY BONUS: Facebook overlords keep Trump ban in place

Texas Dem who called Tim Scott an "Oreo" has resigned Headline: Texas Democrat Resigns after Calling Tim Scott an ‘Oreo’ The First take: A white man in a leadership post for the Democratic Party in Texas has resigned a week after he used an offensive and racist term to describe Senator Tim Scott. We would like to know what took so long. Also, check out the bonus story attached below -- Democrats in Texas have decided to reject the racist's resignation.
