The Progressive Proposition Agenda: She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment!

In a new piece for DFP Insights, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, THE chairwoman of the House Progressive Caucus, makes the case for how the Caucus’ new Progressive Proposition Agenda is popular, populist, and possible.

These new findings ([link removed]) emphasize that progressive policies like boosting wages, expanding health care access, and codifying rights to abortion are truly the Adele of legislative proposals — popular with literally everyone. Not only are they popular with core Democratic constituencies, including younger voters, women, and people of color, but also among Independents, rural voters, and those living in a swing state.

As Rep. Jayapal writes on DFP Insights: “With the Progressive Proposition Agenda, Democrats in Congress can meet the urgent needs people are facing, rewrite the rules to ensure majorities of this country are no longer barred from the American promise of equality, justice, and economic opportunity, and motivate people with a vision of progressive governance under Democratic majorities in the House and Senate and a Democratic White House.”

We truly couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Here are some other highlights from DFP this week:

Is “happy Mental Health Awareness Month” an oxymoron?

Mental health challenges are on the rise in the US of A, which should come as no surprise to anyone alive and witnessing the daily horrors of the 21st century. But seriously, people are increasingly feeling stressed, anxious, and depressed, especially our young people, who face unique pressures growing up these days compared to past generations.

A new Data for Progress survey ([link removed]) examined various topics related to mental health, including which issues cause voters to feel stressed. Of the 14 issues tested, voters feel the most stressed about their personal finances. At least two-thirds of voters also express feeling stressed “sometimes” or “often” about crime and public safety, the cost of health care, the cost of housing, threats to democracy, and gun violence.

Additionally, two in three of voters say they are stressed “sometimes” or “often” about the 2024 election. Just imagine being a part of the 38% of voters who say they aren’t stressed about November… pure bliss…

Interestingly, even though a majority say social media has not negatively impacted them personally, voters are split on whether they think social media is more helpful or more harmful to young people. Younger groups of voters, including a majority of voters aged 18-29 (61%), think social media is mostly helpful to young people, while voters aged 45 and up think access to social media is mostly harmful to young people.

Personally, it’s hard to disentangle the negative mental health impacts of doomscrolling for two hours from the positive mental health impacts of learning about the next Ayo Edebiri film ([link removed]) while doing so. Which is why in addition to considering social media, we also need to address the root cause of many of these challenges — including access to health care, housing, and support.

I think I’ve seen this film before… and I didn’t like the ending

Folks… the raw milk influencers are not trusted health officials. We cannot let Gwyneth Paltrow on a podcast ([link removed]) usher in the next global pandemic! Please put the unpasteurized dairy down… immediately!!

We truly hate to inform you if you haven’t already heard, but federal public health officials have confirmed at least three human cases ([link removed]) of the bird flu, also known as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), in the United States, including two exposed to the virus by working in proximity to infected dairy cows. Thankfully, reported symptoms have been mild up until this point, but public health experts are concerned ([link removed]) that this increased mammal-to-mammal transmission may allow the virus to mutate in such a way that it poses an increased danger to humans, especially agricultural workers and anyone who consumes unpasteurized dairy products like raw milk.

Just four short years ago, we had the president of the U.S. telling us to inject bleach and take horse dewormer. It’s pretty safe to say that our country and society could not withstand another pandemic threat.

And while only half of voters currently say ([link removed]) they are “somewhat” or “very” concerned about avian influenza becoming widespread in the U.S., 65% say they would support banning the sale of raw dairy products after learning that some health experts have recommended doing so to lower the risk of the flu spreading.

I’m sure Big Dairy would love for you to buy its wide array of *pasteurized* dairy products, but all the cool kids ([link removed]) are lactose-free and getting our milk from nuts, oats, and soy now! It’s time to put the dairy milk away, y’all. For the sake of our public (and gastrointestinal) health.
