Here’s the biggest news you missed this weekend

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was reviewing a new offer from Iran to end the war but offered little optimism that the proposal would succeed.

“I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.

Iran’s latest proposal would open shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. blockade while pushing off talks on Iran’s nuclear programs for later.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Sunday that “the room for U.S. decision-making has narrowed.”

As the president weighs how to proceed in the weekslong standoff, he is facing increased pressure from Capitol Hill to seek approval for the conflict. The latest effort to pass a war powers resolution failed in the Senate last week.

What Spirit Airlines passengers should know about refunds, rebooking and fares

Within hours of Spirit Airlines shutting down, thousands of flights had been canceled, leaving travelers stranded. Check-in counters sat empty, customer service lines were unavailable and many passengers said they had received no warning before arriving at the airport.

If you’re holding on to a ticket, the airline said it will automatically refund those purchased directly with a credit or debit card, while people who booked through third parties must contact their travel agent. One of the most reliable options may be to dispute charges through your credit card company.

Other carriers are also stepping up to absorb the disruption, with United Airlines offering capped “rescue fares” to stranded Spirit passengers for a limited time.

‘Meet the Press’

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond the Instagram post central to his case.

“This is not just about a single Instagram post,” Blanche told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “This is about a body of evidence that [prosecutors] collected over the series of about 11 months. That evidence was presented to the grand jury.”

Blanche said the Justice Department has “evidence of all sorts” against Comey and that the indictment isn’t tied exclusively to the number “86 47,” which appears frequently on social media and online shops.

Appearing later on “Meet the Press,” Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., criticized Blanche’s defense of the indictment, citing the widespread presence of “86 47” merchandise online.

“The only facts that distinguish this case from those people buying things on Amazon or posting things on Amazon is not any particular facts that are not visible to public,” the senator said. “It’s the fact that James Comey is a political opponent of the president’s. It’s the fact the president has called upon him for prosecution. It’s the fact that Todd Blanche wants to keep this job.”

A historic victory at the 152nd Kentucky Derby

Cherie DeVaux became the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby when Golden Tempo claimed the 152nd Run for the Roses in Saturday’s race at Churchill Downs.

“I’m glad I can be representative of women everywhere,” DeVaux said. “We can do anything we set our minds to.”

Golden Tempo made a late surge to defeat one of the favorites in Renegade, which finished second. DeVaux praised jockey Jose Ortiz — who beat his brother, who was atop Renegade — for his “masterful job.”

“He was so far out of it, and he has had so much faith in this horse,” she said.

And it wouldn’t have been a proper day of horse racing without elaborate outfits and gaudy hats. Check out the best photos from Churchill Downs.

AI finds signs of pancreatic cancer before tumors develop

By the time doctors detect pancreatic cancer, it’s often too late to treat effectively. But a new study suggests that artificial intelligence might be able to find signs of the disease before tumors are visible on a scan.

An AI model developed at the Mayo Clinic detected abnormalities on patients’ CT scans up to three years before they were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to research published this week.

Scientists trained the model by feeding it scans from patients who had been screened for other medical conditions then were later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Compared to radiologists who reviewed the scans, AI was three times better at identifying the early signs of cancer.
