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 …

So, technically speaking, the City of Washington no longer exists and all there is is DC But, of course, "Washington, DC" is such an ingrained traditional place name that the US postal designation of the District as such has never changed

One fun proposal I've heard is to officially say "DC" now stands for "Douglass Commonwealth" and to say that "Washington" is now a city named for Walter Washington, the first DC home rule mayor (both namesakes being famous Black men)
