Full Summary

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.

Denmark's government is considering extending existing North Sea oil and gas licenses until 2050 to bolster Europe's domestic supply, especially after the Ukraine war highlighted import risks. Minister Lars Aagaard stressed the need for local gas over distant imports, while still aiming for climate neutrality by 2045. In the UK, Labour's ban on new exploration licenses draws sharp criticism from figures like Claire Coutinho, who call it shortsighted as neighbors like Norway ramp up production. The contrast fuels debate on balancing energy needs with net zero targets.

Key Takeaway

Denmark's leaders are weighing longer oil and gas licenses in the North Sea, spotlighting Europe's tough choice between energy security and climate goals.

The Hornets crushed the Wizards 129-112 behind LaMelo Ball's career-high 10 threes and a scorching 12-of-14 third-quarter barrage from deep. Rookie center Ryan Kalkbrenner tallied six points, nine rebounds, two assists, and three blocks in 15 minutes before exiting early with a left ankle sprain, though the team quickly said he was available to return. Bettors chasing overs on his rebounds and combined stats vented frustration online, but postgame reports call the injury minor for the 7-foot-1 Creighton product who's been a rebounding force lately.

Key Takeaway

Ryan Kalkbrenner was owning the boards with nine rebounds by halftime, then rolled his ankle and limped off—leaving bettors fuming over vanished prop bets.
