#TodayInHistory: Adopted Oct. 15, 1938, the #DCflag is an armorial banner based on the design of the coat of arms granted to George Washington's great-great-great-grandfather in 1592. This coat of arms was used privately by PotUS1 in his Mount Vernon home. #ThreeStarsTwoBars

My life changed forever on this day 29 years ago when I REGISTERED TO VOTE IN DC! That simple act of civic engagement launched me into a career of fighting for environmental and social justice - advocating for #DCstatehood and recycling. Visit @Vote4DC at https://t.co/6wiupMkgDU.

🇺🇸 US Senator @ankitjaindc & DC Councilmember @chenderson discussed congressional efforts to take control of DC, deployment of @USNationalGuard members & how these recent events connect to the fight for #DCstatehood at a @PressClubDC Live Headliners event:

Much like THE CONTRARIAN practices unflinching journalism in defense of democracy, 🇺🇸 Sen. @ankitjaindc shares his unflinching political views in defense of DC democracy. @CongressMin, READ: Democrats: Giving DC to @realDonaldTrump won't get you re-elected

"What the @JoeBiden administration could have done better, and what national Democrats can do, is push harder for DC statehood. Our lack of #DCstatehood is causing people to die everyday." -U.S. 🇺🇸 Senator @ankitjaindc (D-DC) on @ABC News Live (08/12/2025) https://t.co/Qsp1SkKZaV

"The only reason this can happen to us in Washington, DC is because we are not a state. We just need to rededicate ourselves to the fight for statehood. That's the ultimate solution." -U.S. 🇺🇸 Senator @ankitjaindc (D-DC) on @CNN (08/12/2025) #DCstatehood https://t.co/lo4FKLZzHU

"THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding" author @OsitaNwanevu argues the U.S. is really not a democracy, in part because 700,000+ DC residents do not have equal representation in Congress - only one non-voting delegate. #DCstatehood #FreeDCnow
