Good morning.
President Trump says the U.S.
Will help guide ships out of the Strait of Hormuz as he considers the latest proposal to end the war in Iran.
The Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act is already reverberating in the South.
NPR details the states that are taking action.
And CNBC takes us inside the final days of Spirit Airlines.
It has kind of been the butt of a joke for a long time, but there are real people that run this airline,
and there are people that really put their heart and soul into every day.
It's Monday, May 4th.

Trump shared the White House's plan to assist stranded ships.
He also vowed to respond with force if U.S. Efforts in the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted.
The announcement came after British authorities said that a cargo ship had come under attack in the area.
The Associated Press reports some two dozen attacks on ships have taken place in and around the region since the war
began, but this was the first one reported in nearly two weeks.
Iran has maintained a blockade on nearly all shipping besides its own for more than two months,
and the U.S. Imposed its own blockade last month.
Reopening the strait has been a key sticking point in negotiations between the two countries and a source of frustration
for the president, who says European allies have n't done enough to help.
Over the weekend, that frustration led to a decision that some Republicans criticized.
