Recognizing the disenfranchisement of District of Columbia residents, calling for statehood for the District of Columbia through the enactment of the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, and expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2026, as "D.C. Statehood Day".
Why?
Every bill carries a core record (title, sponsor, latest action) that Concord fetches up front. The detailed sections — cosponsors, action history, subjects, titles, and summaries — live behind separate Congress.gov endpoints, so they're fetched on demand rather than for all 50,000+ bills at once. Until a bill has been enriched, those sections stay empty.
