Yes! Definitely need a constitutional amendment. I explain in my law review article: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
If DC residents want the full rights of states, retrocession into Maryland makes the most sense. But if you do that, and follow the Constitution, part of the present-day District will remain as the federal seat of government. And according to the Constitution, that small, largely unlived-in area will have 3 electoral votes. IMHO, it is not possible to "make DC a state" without amending the Constitution.

🚨2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS EXPANDED?: Courts are looking at how extensive the definition of arms can be applied in regard to the 2nd Amendment ZACK SMITH (@tzsmith): "The 5th circuit found that switchblades, knives, can constitute an arm under the plain text of the 2nd Amendment!"

NEW: Los Angeles County elections officials confirm in court filing that they have no way to verify U.S. citizenship for voters and they rely solely on a voter’s attestation when they check yes or no to being a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury. This is part of ongoing lawsuit w/ Feds.
Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

There's still time to delete your tweet, Grant.
Contrary to the fake news “merchants of chaos” media there were only very minor damages delivered by the storm that hit the panhandle last night. CardoneCapital manages over 1000 units in that market.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video was taken by Bree Dail. Community note needed, as Grant has failed to credit her properly. x.com/breeadail/stat…

The Waffle House Index as of 10:00AM (ET). Steadily reopening for the Gulf Coast communities as fast and as safely as possible. A huge thank-you to all the utility crews and first responders working hard to restore power and support those in need! 💛

By far the most extensive damage I have come across from Hurricane #Isaias is in Milton, Florida. An entire roof of an apartment complex with residents inside was torn off and thrown with multiple other nearby buildings missing roofs and severe damage while the High School Gymnasium roof was also damaged extensively and downed trees liter the city. Crazy to think the last time I was in this town, it was snowing! #FLwx

🧇 What can Waffle House tell us about the storm damage? Former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate explains how the Waffle House Index helps gauge the impact of a major storm. “Generally, history tells us if anything opens, it's going to be a Waffle House.” @KayleighMcEnany

Florida ain't messing around! The state is ready for Major Hurricane Isaias. Never seen so many lineman ready to rock n' roll. Word is 5000+ trucks just here alone. Escambia County near Pensacola.
