Plus, the protests over George Floyd's death were a catalyst for the mass removal of confederate monuments around the country. And, the big wins coming out of the NBA bubble. Guests: Axios' Felix Salmon and Kendall Baker, and the Southern Poverty Law Center's Lecia Brooks. Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.
