Why shouldn’t they be their own state? They are larger than Wyoming and Montana in terms of people.
seems like we could just give d.c. to maryland and call it a day. representation secured. wouldn’t help with the gerrymandering, of course...

because d.c. is not a state, it’s a city inside another state, and it was designed for political neutrality. if we want to sacrifice the neutrality in order to extend representation we can at least do that in a politically neutral manner. off to maryland you go.
