​"The big-D Democratic Party needs some "little-D" democracy, said Rep.-elect Don Leonard, who conditioned his support for Jeffries' speakership on efforts to end the Iran War, cut off support for Israel, and end ​Citizens United.

Rep.-elect Don Leonard of Ohio said Tuesday that “senior members of the Democratic House” have threatened to make his life “a living hell” unless he backs, without conditions, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be the next Speaker of the House.

    We need new leadership!

    Chris Van Hollen is calling his colleagues: https://www.ms.now/news/van-hollen-schumer-senate-majority-leader-democrats

    Let’s get the new leadership we so desperately need!

    7 calls to help replace Schumer and Jeffries:

    1. Call Ayanna Pressley and encourage her to run for speaker of the house. She would be a great leader in addition to being the first black speaker of the house - which eliminates Hakeem Jeffries false claim only racists oppose him.
