      Yes The State of Washington and Washington DC have frequently performed these passive-aggressive jabs at each other It starts with the naming of the State of Washington in the first place, which was originally the "Columbia District"https://twitter.com/_dev_urandom_/status/1385455712508256256 …

      cw: us geography this has nothing to do with politics, but come on, who the heck named a city right next washington d.c. "mount rainier" even though there's already a mount rainier in washington state? did they specifically aim to confuse people as much as possible? https://twitter.com/Laurent_Weppe/status/1385333669599059968 …

      Luckily H.R. 51 seeks to change that. Hopefully, Douglas Commonwealth is easier to tell apart from Washington!

      The city itself would presumably still be just "Washington," so I imagine the confusion will still persist.

      Nobody I know calls DC Washington. Only people who really say it are pundits using it as synecdoche "Congress" or "The Capital".

      For the record, the City of Washington and the District of Columbia were not originally identical - Washington used to only cover a small part of the District - but they've been geographically coterminous and had a single government since home rule was passed in 1973

      So in the modern day they are, for all legal and practical purposes, the same entity

      (You can still find old markings in Old Town Alexandria across the river from when this was not the case, when the two cities in DC were Washington and Alexandria, before the Virginia side was retroceded in 1846 "Alexandria, DC Fire Department", etc)

          Replying to @arthur_affect @jamari_oneal @FieryDarkstar

          Fun fact - the primary reason for the Virginia retrocession is that abolitionists in Congress were pushing for an end to the slave trade in the District, and Old Town Alexandria had one of the region's largest slave markets and didn't want to see business disrupted

          Replying to @arthur_affect @jamari_oneal @FieryDarkstar

          They were wise to do so - a House resolution condemning the slave trade passed two years later in 1848 and the trade was formally banned in DC in 1850 This is not something the tour guides in historic Old Town Alexandria like to talk about

          Ah, I've been reminded this is wrong -- there were THREE cities in DC originally, Washington, Georgetown and Alexandria Georgetown will never forget their proud history of already being a city at the time of the Founding

          That's why they're too good to have a Metro stop
