In case you forgot that the push for granting Washington, D.C., statehood is all about politics, Mayor Muriel Bowser would be happy to remind you.

While Senate Democrats have hit a brick wall with the debate over the filibuster, Bowser once again wants everyone to know that two D.C. senators would be the mindless Democratic drones that we know they would be. “Today we’re talking about the filibuster,” Bowser said. “But consider this: We wouldn’t even be in this situation if Washington, D.C., had two senators.”
