Ian Millhiser, of the Center For American Progress & Think Progress, joins us to talk about the "broken Senate" and how we need filibuster reform. Not only have the Republicans held the country hostage with this tactic for the past four years, but we need to fix this issue now so that we can get to work fixing the economy, strengthening the social safety net, and protecting the middle class. Jacob Dean, host of Filter Free Radio, co-hosted the whole third hour of this episode. He gave us his take on how progressive our nation really is and what we need to do to get our legislators to realize it. And - as promised - here's a great list of petitions we support.
