Good hopes of Trump and other Republicans turn competition toward allegations of cancer masking. A federal judge in Texas issued a new order in the ongoing Foreign Enemy Act legal legend. In one state, cases of valley fever are rising.
This is what you need to know today.
The day after former President Joe Biden announced he was diagnosed with a form of prostate cancer, Republicans' response had shifted from sympathy to accusing his inner circle of his illness while he was in the office.
President Donald Trump hopes Biden will recover quickly on Sunday. Then yesterday, Trump posted on social media: "Everyone is covering up! Who is running this country? We need accountability!"
Trump and others’ claims, including Vice President JD Vance, are as reported, Biden’s decline is more obvious than before. Now, the diagnosis of cancer – coupled with the damage to his fitness, has done damage to the credibility of the Biden world – with unfounded speculation, Beden (82) knew he was sick and hid it anyway.
Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin called the timing of Biden’s announcement “interesting.” On the other end of the aisle, former Rep. Dean Phillips, who faced Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary, also suggested that Biden reveal his diagnosis for strategic reasons.
Given Biden's care and attention as president, the advanced state of the disease has surprised some medical experts. According to multiple oncologists, most cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed early. But in about 8% of cases, the cancer has been diagnosed and has metastasized - by then, the patient is likely to have had prostate cancer for several years to decade. However, there are some exceptions.
If the former president answers some pressing questions: Why is cancer late, a former Biden aide said? Did the doctor test it earlier? What is the prospect of recovery?
Biden went to social media to thank the kind-hearted people for their "love and support", and a Biden spokesman said yesterday there was no information outside of the announcement on Sunday.

A federal judge in Texas said yesterday that the Trump administration must be until tomorrow afternoon until tomorrow afternoon to facilitate contact between Venezuelans' expulsion of the infamous El Salvador prison and the man's lawyer. It was the first court order in the legal and legal legend surrounding President Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of men suspected of serving as members of Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang. The Trump administration is expected to appeal.
At the center of the case is Josneyder Agelviz Sanguino, a 24-year-old who traveled to the United States in September as part of a refugee resettlement program that involved extensive review and background checks. Agelviz was detained at a Houston airport, and two weeks before the immigration court case was settled, he was deported, with no warning or court hearings deported to El Salvador. Agelviz was detained for a forearm tattoo, and he had no criminal record and no other evidence to connect him to the gang, documents show. Agelviz's mother, who also relocated in the U.S. with his two younger brothers, talked about David Noriega of NBC News. Read the full story here.
According to early data, California is gradually undertaking a record year of valley fever, which shows that there have been more than 3,000 confirmed cases this year. This is more than the same time last year, and this time it is almost twice the case in 2023. Moreover, the case not only occurs in hot areas such as Kern County. Cities along California's Central Coast are also becoming a valley hotspot.
In fact, the increase in cases is so dramatic that the Golden State closes the gap with Arizona every year. But Arizona has also seen more hot spots appear in historically colder, wetter areas. Other parts of the United States may also see more cases of valley fever, as climate change creates drier soils that expand the range of fungi.
Making things even more complicated: Valley fever is hard to diagnose because its symptoms overlap with other respiratory diseases such as COVID, flu, and pneumonia. Read the full story here.
This is the best Knicks fan since the turn of the century.
From 2001 to 2021, the Knicks won the fourth-place playoff victory in the NBA, and the only team hasn't even existed for 20 years. It's really bleak. There are so many attempts to reverse the franchise that it loses confidence and therefore can forgive the fans.
But over the past few years, a series of clever moves (no better than Jalen Brunson carrying Jalen Brunson) brought the team back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. Fans of the Knicks - fans from celebrity courts such as Spike Lee, Fat Joe and Timothée Chalamet, are located in the last row of the upper section. Very excited. Madison Square Garden will be powered this week when rival Indiana Pacers are "welcoming" this week. Let's go to the Knicks! - Tim Payneexecutive editor of news
When Tawanda Scott Sambou was assigned to find a story that marks the 75th anniversary of World War II, the first thing she asked herself was: "What role do black women play in the war?"
She thought her search was over until she met the 6888th Battalion, a unit of all women, mostly blacks, headed to Europe and sorted through a huge backlog of emails so that the soldiers could receive letters from their homes. “I’m very interested,” said Sambu, senior producer of NBC News. "I just thought, 'Wow, people don't know about this unit. I really want to share their story.'"
See how Sambu's coverage brought new recognition to the six triple trio, from Congressional gold medals to Netflix movies starring Kerry Washington, and directed by Tyler Perry.
