Mariupol on the brink

The Ukrainian port city of Mariupol is holding on by a thread, as Russia concentrates its attacks on the east of the country. Earlier this week, the mayor of Mariupol said its streets were carpeted with bodies. Now the world is watching to see if Russia will capture its first major city since the start of the war against Ukraine in February. Plus, Mexican truckers stage a border protest against Texas Gov. Abbott. And, Western states brace for a dangerous dry season. Guests: Axios' Zach Basu, Astrid Galván and Andrew Freedman.
