How many RED communist Donkeys NOW residing in Devil City ???
How FATAL was the 23rd Amdt – giving min 3 ECV to Devil City ???
Of course it has 203 Cosponsorships. Democrats want 2 more Senators from D.C.
Why would Amash make his Puerto Rico statehood bill?
Senate Republicans should make a counter offer if this passes the house…. DC gets statehood if you also break up California into a minimum of 3 states.
How about ABOLISH the very EVIL BAAAAD minority rule USA Senate

Andrew, the Republican counteroffer should be retrocession of most of DC back to Maryland in exchange for repealing the 27th Amendment and their 3 Electoral College votes. But, Maryland would get at least one more US Rep and their citizens living in DC would thus finally have representation for their taxation.
23rd Amendment.
Andrew- why not split up Texas as well.
