Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which has spread to the bone, and the former president and his family are reviewing treatment options, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of one to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was nine, suggesting his cancer is among the most aggressive.

When prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it often spreads to the bones. Metastasized cancer is much harder to treat than localized cancer because it can be hard for drugs to reach all the tumors and completely root out three disease.

The Department of Education under President Donald Trump began sending notices to the first of millions of Americans with past-due federal student loans that they will see their wages garnished in just a few months. The news comes the week that the Trump administration begins to send millions of defaulted borrowers into collections.

The garnishments will happen in waves, with the first borrowers seeing the pay deductions in early June. Monday, the Education Department started sending 30-day notices to around 195,000 defaulted borrowers to notify them that they will be subject to the Treasury Offset Program, which collects past-due debts owed to state and federal agencies. Under this program, Treasury can withhold money including tax refunds, wages, Social Security payments, and disability benefits to pay delinquent debt.

Later this summer, "all 5.3 million defaulted borrowers will receive a notice from Treasury that their earnings will be subject to administrative wage garnishment," the department says in its first timeline of the enforcement action.

The average American family in 2025 should have at least $35,000 in emergency savings, according to a new report from Investopedia. And the figure keeps rising.

That tab represents six months of emergency expenses for the typical American household, and it totals about two-fifths of that household’s annual income.

Many financial experts recommend that families should amass enough emergency savings to sustain them for three to six months, if not longer. The emergency fund is meant to protect you against a job loss, health crisis, car breakdown or major household repair. Emergency savings become especially important during a recession, a scenario Americans could be facing in the months to come.

Last year, Investopedia set out to put a price on six months of emergency expenses, including housing, medical care, travel and food. In 2024, the total came to just over $33,000.

In a 2025 update, published in May, Investopedia ran the numbers again. This time, they added up to $35,218.

Pope Leo XIV formally assumed his role as the first American-born leader of the global Catholic Church with a Mass in St. Peter's Square in Rome drawing tens of thousands of people, including dozens of world leaders and European royalty.

As the Mass opened, the Chicago-born pope said in Italian, "Peace be with you and your spirits." He later said the church must confront modern challenges while maintaining its traditions, and rejected what he called "religious propaganda" and the misuse of power.

Leo reached out to conservatives who felt orphaned under his predecessor, vowing to preserve the Catholic Church's heritage and not rule like "an autocrat."

Paleontologists have discovered a three-eyed creature with a pencil sharpener-like mouth that roamed the sea for prey more than 500 million years ago.

The fossilized remains of one Mosura fentoni — nicknamed the "sea moth" — were found in the Burgess Shale of Canadian Rockies, presenting researchers with new insight into animal life in the Cambrian period, according to a paper published this week in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

The predator was about the length of an index finger, with three eyes dotting its head and a circular mouth lined with teeth, according to paleontologists at the Manitoba Museum and Royal Ontario Museum who made the discovery. The beast was also equipped with flaps on both sides of its body for swimming, and had intimidating claws extending from its head.

Boeing is set to avoid prosecution in a fraud case sparked by two fatal crashes of its bestselling 737 Max jet that killed 346 people, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The US Department of Justice is considering a non-prosecution agreement, relatives of the victims were told on Friday, through which the US aerospace giant would not be required to plead guilty.

Representatives of the crash victims’ families expressed outrage, describing the proposal as “morally repugnant” after a tense call with senior justice department officials.

Boeing declined to comment. The justice department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The tentative deal was first reported by Reuters.

In October 2018, 189 people were killed when Lion Air flight 610 fell into the Java Sea off Indonesia. In March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa airport, claiming 157 lives.
