Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been on a hunger strike in prison for three weeks. This weekend his doctor said he could die soon.

That’s just the latest in a string of events from abroad that could become major crises for President Biden.

  • Plus, A new way for police departments to handle mental health calls.
  • And, Richard Wright’s new book on police brutality, published six decades after his death.


    • Guests: Axios' Dave Lawler, Ben Montgomery and Russell Contreras.
