Congress Must Allow D.C. to Spend Its Own Local Dollars Congressional Republicans, who last year barred the District of Columbia from spending $1 billion of its own revenue in its 2025 budget, are now moving to block another DC law.

Congressional Republicans, who barred D.C. from spending $1B of its own revenue in its 2025 budget, are moving to block another D.C. law. This action poses risks to D.C.'s public services & credit rating & could create filing chaos as tax season begins. www.cbpp.org/blog/congres...

Big shoutout & thanks to @eleanornorton.bsky.social for her great work pushing for #DCStatehood. The statehood bill passed the House twice under her stewardship. And she was a great guest host for our DC Trivia Nights! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

An America First agenda means you take care of Americans first. #DCStatehood takes care of 700,000 Americans who want & demand equal rights & representation in our democracy.

We can do it. We can put DC and its 700,000+ on the cusp of #DCStatehood if we work collectively, collaboratively, and strategically. As the sun sets on 2025, lets get ready for the sunrise of 2026 and the possibilities before us. We are glad you are in the struggle with us, we love you all.

And in 2026, we need to go on offense. DC residents & our allies around the country need to work our butts off to ensure there are #DCStatehood supporting majorities in the House & Senate. We don't just need allies protecting Home Rule, we need allies with an all hands on deck pursuit of statehood.

In the Senate, there are now 43 cosponsors on the #DCStatehood bill and we have a great lead sponsor in @vanhollen.senate.gov! There's lots of work to do in the Senate, including getting @captmarkkelly.bsky.social & Sen. Angus King to cosponsor the bill too. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Just as there have been lots of attacks on Home Rule, the movement for #DCStatehood continues to make progress. There are now 200+ cosponsors on the #DCStatehood bill in the House but there's more cosponsors to gain! www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

There are still troops in the streets of DC, pretty much doing nothing. It's not crime prevention, it's for show. It's an unnecessary waste of time and money (LOTS OF TAXPAYER MONEY). These troops should be at home with their families and back in their own communities, not ours.

As we close out 2025, we can honestly say it was a pretty shitty year for DC. Unprecedented attacks on Home Rule took place, exposing the fallacy of the term Home Rule. Never forget that #DCStatehood is the ultimate goal of DC residents who seek an equal footing & place in our democracy.

Wyoming's Sen. Lummis is retiring. Both she & the other WY Sen won their elections with 198,000 votes. Eleanor Holmes Norton, DC's non-voting Rep in the House wins her elections with 280,000 votes. WY has 587,000 people & DC has 702,000 people. It's quite simple, the people of DC deserve statehood.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

Image if Arizona does sue on these grounds while one of their Senators, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, remains silent on #DCStatehood. Interesting.

Our Fellow Americans,

This shutdown is the fault of YOUR legislators in Congress, not ours. We don’t have any.

Sincerely,
