Biden is diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The House Budget Committee advance its bill for Trump’s agenda. And New Yorkers react to a Mexican navy ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge.

Here’s what to know today.

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his personal office announced. Biden was screened after “experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” according to a statement from his personal office, and was diagnosed on Friday. 

The cancer was “characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” meaning that the cancer is likelier than others to grow and spread. The statement goes on to say that the cancer appears to be “hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.” 

Biden and his family are meeting with doctors and considering “multiple treatment options,” including hormone treatment, a source said.
