Tucker Carlson was talking to U.S.-based Kremlin intermediaries about setting up an interview with Vladimir Putin shortly before the Fox News host accused the National Security Agency of spying on him, sources familiar with the conversations tell Axios. Between his outreach to a hostile foreign power and his association with Matt Gaetz, Tucker sounds like he SHOULD worry about violating laws. TAKE ACTION: There's clearly more to the Carlson case than meets the eye, so monitor it. Fox being dirty with Russia would be no surprise. https://www.axios.com/tucker-carlson-putin-interview-survei

The FBI has infiltrated a "Bible study" group in Virginia that after the January 6 riot had members discussing surveilling the US Capitol and their wish for secession from the US, and investigators closely followed one member's plans to build and test Molotov cocktails, according to recently unsealed court records. https://www.cnn.com//capitol-riot-bible-study-group-fbi-v/

On a visit to Europe to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war, Donald Trump insisted to his then chief of staff, John Kelly: Well, Hitler did a lot of good things. The remark from the former US president on the 2018 trip, which reportedly stunned Kelly, a retired US Marine Corps general, is reported in a new book by Michael Bender of the Wall Street Journal. TAKE ACTION: Yes, we know Trump is horrible. But keep this in mind as you help out on Democ...ratic campaigns. Make sure you're helping at least one group supporting Democrats - and go nationwide! https://www.theguardian.com//donald-trump-hitler-michael-b

America is dividing along vaccination lines, including some states with Delta spikes. "We're already starting to see places with low vaccination rates starting to have relatively big spikes from the Delta variant.

The first waves of arrests in the deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol focused on the easy targets. Dozens in the pro-Trump mob openly bragged about their actions on Jan. 6 on social media and were captured in shocking footage broadcast live by national news outlets. But six months after the insurrection, the Justice Department is still hunting for scores of rioters, even as the first of more than 500 people already arrested have pleaded guilty. TAKE ACTION: Though we're doing a ...good job of hunting down the Republican terrorists that attacked our country, it's not done yet. Stay aware of calls for helping find dangerous individuals - and remember this when campaigns start. https://apnews.com//joe-biden-dc-wire-capitol-siege-govern
