Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., slammed a Trump delegate for accusing him of wearing the North Korean flag on his tie during a New Jersey Senate debate this week. “Why is US Senate candidate Andy Kim wearing a North Korea flag on his tie tonight?” the delegate, Mike Crispi, wrote on X about Kim’s matchup Tuesday against Republican opponent Curtis Bashaw. … Why didn’t you wear an American flag tie?” Crispi said in the video, adding that the pattern resembled the North Korean and Costa Rican flags. “If elected, I’ll be first Korean American senator after 120 years of Koreans in America,” Kim wrote on social media. “Dear MAGA @MikeCrispi: That is not the North Korean flag,” Lieu wrote.

Colorectal cancer cases have been rising in people younger than 50 over the last two decades. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force isn’t the first group to suggest lowering the screening age. The new study found that colorectal cancer screening among 45 to 49-year-olds remains low overall, but increased threefold following the 2021 guideline change. “One of the biggest predictors of whether you get age-appropriate cancer screening is whether or not you have insurance,” Lieu said. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, since it can detect not only cancerous tumors, but precancerous polyps that can be removed before they can turn into cancer.

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., who recently became the first Asian American to be elected vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, took a moment to reflect with NBC News on how he got there. “It’s actually more of a recognition by my colleagues of the growing importance of the Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities,” he said. In two decades the Asian American electorate surged 139%, according to Pew Research. The congressman added that beyond Asian Americans, his win also showcases the power of a broad collective. “If you look at what the House Democratic Caucus did, it was, I feel, remarkable.
