Democratic House Candidate Jack Schlossberg Says Lazy and Ignorant Things About D.C. Statehood

Posted on May 5, 2026 by mikethemadbiologist

Schlossberg is clearly a guy who did not do the reading.

For reasons that have mostly to do with random internet virality and not keen insight, a couple of Bluesky posts I made about D.C. statehood blew up over the weekend (you can find the full length version in this post). This led to me learning that Democratic congressional candidate and RFK Jr. cousin posted the following about D.C. statehood:

schlossbergisfuckingstupid copy

This statement by Schlossberg shows he is too lazy to do the homework: in the D.C. statehood legislation passed by the House of Representatives of these United States in 2021, H.R. 51, there is still a federal district, it is just smaller (it is essentially census tract 98, minus Hains Point):

douglasscommonwealthv2

D.C. would become a state, the Douglass Commonwealth (named after Frederick Douglass), and the new, smaller federal district would be the constitutionally-mandated federal territory.

I want to make something clear: what I have described is not a white paper, a blog post, or a newspaper column. It was actual legislation that dealt with all of the issues people typically raise*. That said, Schlossberg is being exceptionally stupid, as the basic idea–some of what is currently D.C. would be reserved as a federal district–was widely reported in 2021.

I do not understand why Schlossberg feels the need to oppose D.C. statehood–I can only conclude he is as dumb and impulsive as his cousin RFK Jr. That he feels the need to opine this foolishly about D.C. statehood suggests he would likely do so for other issues that might affect the voters of his district. I have no idea what the hell NYC Democrats are doing, but there must be someone better than this lazy and incurious jackass Jack Schlossberg.

*There are a considerable number of D.C. statehood defenders online who have not done the homework either. The issues that these defenders claim can be solved easily have actually been solved.

Not a Great Week for D.C. on the Crime Front, but Still Much Better Than Last Year

Posted on May 1, 2026 by mikethemadbiologist

Since last week, we really have not seen any changes in the crime rate for most categories. That said, homicides increased to 25* this week–there were 48 homicides at this same time last year. As has been the case throughout the year, car-related crimes and muggings are down compared to the same time last year.

Hopefully, next week there will be no homicides. We are due for a break.

*Officially, we have had 27 murders this year, but two of the murders occurred in other years, with arrests that were not made until this year.
