A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Key Takeaway

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.

In February 2025, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, slashed USAID contracts worth tens of billions, paused operations, and cut 1,600 staff, folding much into the State Department. Critics cite modeled estimates of millions of deaths by 2030 from halted aid like vaccines and food, with one post by Mohamad Safa drawing 22,000 likes by comparing the toll to Gaza's 45,000 and Ukraine's 600 child deaths. Defenders call USAID wasteful, with only 10-30 cents per dollar reaching recipients, while courts have ruled parts of the cuts unconstitutional and DOGE has since disbanded.

Key Takeaway

One year after Elon Musk called USAID cuts feeding the agency into a 'woodchipper,' a post claims those moves have killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.
