Full Hakeem Ahead

House Democrats voted unanimously Wednesday to make New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries their new leader – making him the first Black person to lead a party in Congress.

Meanwhile, the House passed legislation that would force rail companies and labor unions to accept a tentative deal to avert a nationwide rail strike — and while progressives pushed for a separate bill to guarantee paid sick leave, it faces an uncertain future in the Senate.

And in headlines: the FDA is reportedly planning to allow more queer men to donate blood, a House panel finally has access to former President Trump’s federal tax returns, and the French baguette was added to UNESCO’s cultural heritage list.
