May 3 Overnight Brief
In U.S. politics
President Trump says he is reviewing a 14-point peace plan for Iran, while also warning that strikes could resume if Tehran “misbehaves.” The White House, in other words, is offering diplomacy with one hand and a threat with the other, a classic piece of geopolitical customer service.
Separately, Republican allies are pressing state by state to tighten control over U.S. elections. In Missouri, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins shared voter-roll data with federal authorities, who sent back lists of possible noncitizens for removal. County clerks said most of the people flagged were actually naturalized citizens, and no one in the review was identified as having voted illegally.
In Mexico
Two members of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s party in Sinaloa have temporarily stepped down after the United States charged them and eight other politicians and security officials with drug trafficking. The indictment has shaken Mexico’s political establishment and put fresh pressure on officials already dealing with the country’s security crisis.
In Florida
A large fire broke out Saturday afternoon at the Marine Science Laboratory building on the University of South Florida’s St. Petersburg campus. The building was evacuated and no injuries were reported. More than 60 units and about 200 firefighters responded, and officials said the blaze was largely out by 9 p.m., though the building is likely a total loss. The cause is under investigation.
In sports
The 76ers erased a 3-1 series deficit and beat the Celtics 109-100 in Game 7 at TD Garden, advancing to the second round after a long postseason drought against Boston. Joel Embiid scored 34 points and Tyrese Maxey added 30, while Boston played without Jayson Tatum, who was out with left knee stiffness.
