Today's five.

A bus full of passengers plowed into six cars on Interstate 95 at 2:35 in the morning because the driver, Jing S. Dong, simply didn't slow for traffic. Five people died — four of them in a single Acura that caught fire. Forty-four others were hospitalized, three critically. Dong, who was also injured and remains hospitalized, was charged Saturday; the prosecutor said evidence of "criminally negligent" driving already existed before the investigation is even finished. The Daily Wire focused heavily on the driver's background. Every other outlet focused on the crash.

Saturday afternoon, a yard-wide rock fell out of the sky near Boston and roughly half of New England thought something had exploded. The meteor broke apart north of the city around 2pm, releasing energy equivalent to 300 tons of TNT — enough to rattle windows, shake homes, and send dozens of calls flooding into local newsrooms. Sightings came in from Vermont to Delaware. CBS led with the meteorologist explaining it; the Washington Examiner led with the double boom and the shaking buildings. Nobody was hurt. The American Meteor Society confirmed it before most people finished Googling "earthquake Boston."

Ken Paxton beat John Cornyn in a Senate primary runoff, which is the kind of result that makes political consultants update their résumés. Trump endorsed Paxton late; it didn't matter — or rather, it mattered enormously. The race burned through over $100 million, much of it behind Cornyn, who had the establishment. Paxton had baggage: legal trouble, personal woes, the whole package. Cruz and Abbott endorsed him within hours of the result anyway. Bloomberg focused on the establishment's next move; The Dispatch noted this collision of Trump's loyalty-over-electability pattern with Democrats' habit of pouring money into long-shot red-state races. November should be interesting.

The last time the San Antonio Spurs went to the NBA Finals, LeBron James was their problem. Now it's the New York Knicks. San Antonio beat Oklahoma City 111-103 in a road Game 7 on Saturday — which almost never happens, and definitely wasn't supposed to happen against the reigning champions. Wembanyama scored 22. Julian Champagnie hit six threes. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 35 and still lost. The NBA will have a new champion for the eighth straight year. Game 1 is Wednesday in San Antonio, and someone's long drought is ending.

Reconstructing Iran on America's dime isn't happening, according to Rick Scott, who made sure to say so on cable television rather than, say, in a formal policy document. Scott — a Florida senator and Trump ally — pushed back this weekend on a proposed reconstruction fund for Iran, a country the U.S. has spent decades sanctioning. The excerpt doesn't say who proposed the fund or how seriously it's being considered, which is either a detail worth finding or the entire point: sometimes opposition is easier to announce than the thing you're opposing exists.
