It’s time. #DCStatehoodNow
Because D.C. doesn’t fully control its own National Guard and police forces, @MayorBowser was required by law to ask Trump for help controlling the violent mob that he himself instigated. We must immediately pass our bill to fix this, then pass #DCStatehoodNow.

In 1949 Congress passed the Fairness Doctrine requiring broadcast licensees give "honest, equitable & balanced" coverage of news. Seeking to deregulate all business enterprise, Reagan ended it in 1987. We need to reinstate it & include tech platforms! #ReinstateFairnessDoctrine

When they wrote the constitution slavery was legal, therefore Abolition was considered “unconstitutional.” That’s why as time goes by Americans amend our constitution. DC statehood is not a terrible idea; it’s a good idea.

No, you don't wait to see if Mike Pence is going to do the right thing before you go on and do the right thing. The two efforts can occur simultaneously. Every day we wait is risky.

Washington DC is a city that embodies America's inherent struggle, between the force of the most enlightened political principles versus the most debased and violent transgression against them. Every generation plays out the struggle, today as much as ever. #DCShouldHaveStatehood
