When politicians don’t like the outcomes of citizen amendments — like raising the minimum wage, expanding voting rights, or exposing the majority mandate to restore reproductive freedom — they change the rules.
That’s not democracy. That’s manipulation.

How Brexit, a Startling Act of Economic Self-Harm, Foreshadowed US Tariffs
Britain’s decision to leave the European Union in 2016 was sold to voters as a magic bullet that would revitalize the country’s economy. Its impact is still reverberating.

I continue to be absolutely stunned at how many people in positions of power in this country don’t understand that they’re on the wrong side of history
This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
