President Biden big trip -- what's the reason? Are there any actual goals? Headline: On 1st overseas trip, Biden to assure allies and meet Putin The First take: Eight days.

Security Fail: Kamala fan girl reporter was not a Univision employee Headline: Univision Fangirling of VP Harris at Mexico Presser, or MAJOR Security Breach? The First take: As much as we enjoy the opportunity to mock the media when it shows us just how much they are fawning over this administration, the obvious security failure here is the most important issue to address. Someone (or several someones) dropped the ball. However, we're also wondering how much this actually differs from the news media in the U.S., which is constantly carrying water for this administration.
