Speaking to Axios on HBO, Cassidy explained that as a doctor, he is well aware that "at some point, and statistically it's in the 80s, you begin a more rapid decline." He spoke in general terms but noted that "it's usually noticeable. So, anyone who is in a position of responsibility, who may potentially be on that slope, that is a concern, and I'm saying this as a doctor."

Adviser to President Donald Trump, Lara Trump, is joining the growing list of conservatives being triggered by the evolution of the Superman comic books. As superheroes are evolving past the white, male, cis-gender, heterosexual identity, it has left the alien character in the dust.

The twice-impeached one-term president warned that his supporters would stay home unless GOP elected officials found a way to overturn his election loss from nearly a year ago, and the "Morning Joe" host wondered whether that was an indication that Trump didn't plan to run for re-election in 2024.
