Guten Morgen, Bruder Daily Show. Ich bin Neil Freiman. Und ich bin Tobi Howell. Heute hat die USA ihre letzte AAA-Kreditrate verloren. Zeit, zu paniken oder zu schreien.
Dann eine Wave von brazen Verbrechungen rockt die Krypto-Industrie. Es ist Montag, Mai 19. Lass uns fahren.
Welcome back to the week. Sad news has come in about former President Biden, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office said yesterday. The 82-year-old's diagnosis is serious, with the cancer spreading to his bones and characterized by a Gleason score of 9, which is how the most aggressive prostate cancers look under a microscope.
The good news is that managing prostate cancer has come a long way in recent years, allowing patients to live years, not just months, with current treatments. And Biden's office said his cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management.
Following the news, lawmakers across the spectrum, including President Trump, former President Obama and other Democratic and Republican leaders, expressed their support for Biden on social media.
Ja, following the diagnosis, former President Obama said, nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe. And what he's referring to there is the cancer moonshot program that the White House announced back in 2016 with the goal of eliminating cancer as we know it. It eventually became known as the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot Initiative. Vielen Dank.

S&P Global Ratings downgraded it in 2011, followed by Fitch in 2023. To justify its decision, Moody's said the US was being irresponsible with its bank account, running up large fiscal deficits and paying more and more in interest to It all amounts to a big reputational blow for the world's largest economy.
