if statehood for DC is pushed through, how does that reconfigure the makeup of the house? does it push through the census results (which give more seats to the republicans in growing red states)? has control of the house become more of a strategic necessity than control of the senate that can move to change the rules with a simple majority? does this particular grasp for power on the part of the dems actually result in a shift of power that is not immediately obvious?

the citizens/residents of DC do have constitutional rights like the rest of us, do they not?
Yes. This includes the right to representation. They currently only have House members in the FEDERAL assembly. They have no state assembly.
