The Democrat House just absurdly passed a bill to make DC the 51st state:
VOTES ARE IN: US House is passing bill to make Washington DC the 51st state.
Majority has just been reached in floor vote

U.S. House voted 216-208 to pass bill that would admit Washington DC as the 51st state and give it full representation in Congress.
Straight party-line.

Democrats are just doing this to increase their power and get more seats in the Senate. Which is ironic, because this doesn’t stand a chance of passing in the Senate. It will never overcome the filibuster and we have Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to thank for not allowing Democrats to kill the filibuster.
