🚨BREAKING🚨
The House just passed the #DCStatehood bill (#HR51), marking the first time since the creation of the District of Columbia 219 years ago that either chamber of Congress has passed a bill to grant statehood to D.C. residents and, with it, equal citizenship.

The Constitution states that the federal district shall not exceed 10 sq miles. My #DCStatehood bill shrinks the capital to its ample federal core and makes local DC neighborhoods the 51st state. No amendment needed to give DC residents their democratic rights. #ConstitutionDay pic.twitter.com/bnA8Z7Rtn8
