Thank you Pres. Biden for the Statement of Administration Policy opposing the "counterproductive and destructive" DC CRIMES Act on the House floor today.

On this Flag Day, we are reminded of what our flag represents: freedom and justice. Our 51-star flags displayed along Pennsylvania Ave. today, remind us of the need to fulfill this promise and deliver full democracy to 700,000 tax-paying American citizens. #DCStatehood #FlagDay

On June 1, 1796, Tennessee was admitted as the 16th state into the Union, paving the way for 6 other states to gain admission to the Union, through what has become known as the "Tennessee Plan". DC has satisfied all 4 conditions of this plan and awaits Senate passage of S. 51.

Today marks the date in 1802 when Washington, DC was incorporated as a city and given a mayor-council form of government. The disenfranchisement of DC residents has been described as an “accident” of history, one that we have been fighting to correct for over 200 years.

Quick refresher on @POTUS’ view: “#equalrepresentation matters.”

It’s the bedrock of our nation. Constitution prescribes every American #representation. It’s way past time to address this #VotingRights issue. Let’s do it!

Thanks again to @tarajiphenson for standing with the 700,000 #DC residents who have no voice in their Congress. Taxation without representation is #unconstitutional.

As #Cookie would say: “I am here to get what’s mine”.

Approaching Tax Day is a stark reminder that D.C. resident pay some of the highest taxes in the Nation, for no representation. #TaxationRequiresRepresentation #DCStatehoodNow

Good morning Twitter! Have you heard?

DC IS NOW A STATE!!

April fools. But this is not funny. #DCStatehoodNow

[DCstatehood51 @DCstatehood51]

Every other state manages their own local affairs, yet residents of DC have to contend with a Congress that constantly meddles in our issues. Solution? #DCStatehoodNow.

Today, we witness history with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing. This historic moment would have made even more stride, if DC residents also got to participate in this process, like every other American citizen. #JudgeKetanjiBrownJackson #DCStatehoodNOW

[DCstatehood51 @DCstatehood51]

Today, @SpeakerPelosi hosted a ceremony with Congressional leaders, @EleanorNorton, @MayorBowser and @ChmnMendelson to unveil D.C.’s second statue. This historic step towards statehood gives D.C. two statues in the Capital, a privilege each state is entitled to under federal law.

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

Tomorrow DC's second statue in the US Capitol will be unveiled in a ceremony hosted by @SpeakerPelosi.

Each state is entitled to two statues in the Capitol, so DC’s second statue will be a symbolic step toward #DCStatehood.

Today would have been the 82nd birthday of the great John Lewis. Rest in Peace Congressman. We remain undeterred and ready to take up the torch. #MakeGoodTrouble #DCStatehoodNow
