.@EleanorNorton: “If the House cared about democratic principles or D.C. residents, it would be voting on my D.C. statehood bill…The House is choosing not to do so. It is a choice. I will close by saying to all members of the House: Keep your hands off of D.C.” #HandsOffDC

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

Today's @GOPOversight hearing on DC demonstrates the peculiar, paternalistic Republican preoccupation with meddling in local DC affairs.

To Republicans determined to waste their constituents' resources on undemocratic meddling: Keep your #HandsOffDC.

“We need to be talking about statehood, which is something that the residents of DC actually want – not this type of legislation.”

Thank you, @RepMaxwellFrost, for speaking out against #HJRes42 and other outrageous attempts to override the will of the people in DC. #HandsOffDC

[ACLU of the District of Columbia @ACLU_DC]

Hey Congress: Mind. Your. Own. State. #HandsOffDC

[Harriet’s Dreams @HarrietsDreams]

We are marching to support the @charlesallen and the DC Council. DC deserves statehood and community led safety’ #handsoffdc

[ACLU of the District of Columbia @ACLU_DC]

Today's lesson: D.C. needs statehood. Period.

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

I spoke to the Washington Post ahead of today's markup of the disapproval resolution to nullify local DC's policing reform bill.

The Congressional Black Caucus is now holding a press conference on the importance of autonomy for the District of Columbia.

@TheByrdsHouse @OversightDems Hey there Dan

[Oversight Dems @OversightDems]

Here is a reminder that D.C. residents:

✅ Support #DCstatehood
✅ Pay the highest federal taxes per capita
✅ Have no voting representation in Congress

Today’s hearing is an affront to the rights of political democracy and self-determination.

Fact check: TRUE

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

Republican's fixation with DC, over their very own districts, is a waste of time. They should instead be focused on their own constituents and spending time solving problems for them.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

The House Republican fixation in local Washington DC affairs is wrong and undemocratic.

If @GOPOversight is so concerned my advice to them is to run for local office in DC.

[DC Statehood PAC @DCStatehoodPAC]

Mr President -

Do you have any idea how many DC residents worked for you?

Donated (a lot) to you?

Fanned out across the country to knock on doors and make phone calls for you?

We deserve a lot better than this.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Tucker Carlson is siding with the enemies of democracy.

Here’s what I just said on the Senate floor:

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

13. That means judges can sentence criminals to up to 18 years -- three years longer than the harshest sentences handed down today -- FOR ANY CARJACKING.

The new code does not weaken the penalties for carjacking, but aligns them with reality.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

9. What do the revisions to the DC code actually do? The purpose was not to reduce the prison population or lessen the penalties for various crimes. It was to comprehensively update a code that was written in 1901.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

@JoeBiden 3. In April 2021, the Biden administration enthusiastically announced its support for legislation making DC the 51st state. The statement said that "denial of self governance is an affront to the democratic values on which our Nation was founded."

[Jamal Holtz @JamalHoltz]

You’re either for home rule or you’re not.

You’re either for self determination or you’re not.

I’m disappointed at the fact that people who preached democracy is practicing suppression.

This #DCStatehood moment is what prioritizing party politics over people look like.
