Many Republicans in Congress, including Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham, have endorsed Maryland retrocession as an alternative to statehood.

Sen. Roger Marshall on Thursday introduced a bill to have the District of Columbia become a part of Maryland, a Republican alternative to statehood that polls suggest is deeply unpopular with residents of both D.C. and Maryland.... [+]

during a break in the fourth day of the Senates second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol on February 12, 2021 in Washington, DC. Trumps defense team begins their presentation of the defense that Trump should not be held responsible for the January 6th attack at the U.S. Capitol on First Amendment grounds and the fact that he is no longer in office. The bill would make the residential areas of D.C.

The proposal is popular among Republicans in large part because it disarms district residents of their longstanding complaint of taxation without representation while depriving them of two senators – who would likely be Democrats – instead giving them a voting representative in the House.

While we're at it, let's give South Dakota to North Dakota, and Idaho to Wyoming (or vice versa). Why the hell not.

RogerMarshallMD Instead of Maryland, merge DC with Kansas. We could use a little more diversity in this state.

RogerMarshallMD Hey 'doctor', I guess you'll also divide up Wyoming, huh? It has very few people... Oh yeah, they're more your kind of people so nevermind, huh?

RogerMarshallMD Larry Hogan, the current Republican Governor of Maryland, probably isn’t pleased that Roger is serving him up as a sacrificial lamb.

RogerMarshallMD Can u give Kansas to Colorado so we can have sports betting and Marijuana and much lower food sales tax? GovLauraKelly FredPattonKS OSheaforKansas RonRyckman wibw

“Give” spoken like a true Racist.

You may want to think twice about giving RogerMarshallMD any press. He’s also overly concerned with Meatless Monday’s, kid’s genitalia, denying science by asking his constituents to ignore Dr. Fauci & overturning a free and fair election. He’s a total waste of a senate seat.

RogerMarshallMD forbes you tweeted this garbage. You are now responsible for reporting everything else that happens with this bill. Looking forward to it.

RogerMarshallMD Stop👏amplifying👏this👏asshole👏

DeSantis signs GOP-drafted voting bill, legal fight beginsTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a sweeping elections bill into law Thursday that he and other Republicans said would place guardrails against fraud, even as they acknowledged there were no serious signs of voting irregularities last November... There was no proof of fraud in Florida, so his reasoning is a lie right off the bat. My home has never been broken into but I still lock the door when I leave. Preventing potential wrongdoing protects the security of the vote. Everyone deserves to know their vote is secure. Totally unconstitutional !!!
