Malik Monk scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half for the Kings. Domantas Sabonis had his second straight triple-double and eighth of the season with 13 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.

Kings: De’Aaron Fox, in the first game since an ESPN reported the Kings could be open to trading the All-Star guard, scored 19 points. The Kings are 1-3 on their six-game road trip after starting with 10 wins in their first 12 games under interim coach Doug Christie, who took over Dec. 27.

76ers: Got 37 points from their reserves, a struggle at times given the injuries they’ve suffered. Council led the way with 13 points and Kyle Lowry added 10 points and eight assists.

DeMar DeRozan committed a flagrant foul on Council with 42.1 seconds left in the third quarter. Council hit two free throws, then Reggie Jackson made a 3-pointer for a five-point possession, part of a 14-2 run that put the 76ers up for good.

The 76ers tied their season high with their fourth straight win. The other four-game streak ended on Jan. 1 when they allowed the Kings to score the final 15 points of a 113-107 loss in Sacramento.

Kings: Play Saturday at Oklahoma City.

76ers: Continue a six-game homestand when they face Denver on Friday night.

Trump says federal government should 'take over' DC, backing congressional GOP push

2025-02-20 11:08 Last Updated At:11:10

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday threw his support behind congressional efforts for a federal takeover of the nation's capital, saying he approves putting the District of Columbia back under direct federal control.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump complained about crime and homelessness in the district, saying, “I think we should take over Washington, D.C. — make it safe.” He added, "I think that we should govern District of Columbia.”

Under terms of the city’s Home Rule authority, Congress already vets all D.C. laws and can outright overturn them. Some congressional Republicans have sought to go further, eroding decades of the city’s limited autonomy and putting it back under direct federal control, as it was at its founding.

Trump said he liked District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser personally, but complained about the city's governance.

“They’re not doing the job,” Trump said. “Too much crime, too much — too many tents on the lawns — these magnificent lawns.”

He argued that he can't have sights of homelessness when he hosts foreign leaders in Washington. “You just can’t let that happen,” Trump said. “You can’t have tents on all your beautiful — your once magnificent plaza and lawns.”
