Maryland Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger says he won’t seek a 12th term in Congress. The 77-year-old Democrat said in a video message on Friday that he will retire. He has represented his Baltimore-area district since 2003. Ruppersberger says the decision was difficult because Congress needs members like him who care more about constituents than cable news hits, but it's time to pass the torch to a younger generation.

A super political action committee supporting President Joe Biden’s reelection is aiming to boost the Democrat’s primary campaign in lead-off South Carolina with a television ad featuring Rep. Jim Clyburn. The South Carolina congressman is one of Biden's most dedicated backers, and his endorsement boosted Biden’s 2020 run.

Doctors can recommend lifestyle changes and prescribe medications. And there are various surgical procedures to remove prostate tissue or widen the urethra when symptoms are especially troubling.
