Sean Dunagan, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), joinsThom Hartmann. Last Tuesday - Washington and Colorado became the first two states to legalize marijuana - much to joy of college students in both states. But - is President Obama ready to stop America's failed war on drugs - and allow college campuses to go "green?"

Former Senator, Tom Hayden, Director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center, joins Thom Hartmann. What lessons should the Democratic Party take from Tuesday's election moving forward into fiscal cliff negotiations?

When does the Democratic Party do best? When it champions the progressive policies and causes that will build a stronger America. With the fiscal cliff negotiations heating up - will Democrats heed the advice of FDR - and stick to the party's progressive roots?

Thom talks with author and activist Tom Hayden on the 2012 election and how Democrats need to be more progressive. Also discussed: what legalizing marijuana in Colorado and Washington means for the movement to end the drug war, what the Occupy Movement's doing to help end the debt crisis for the people and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom discusses how a millionaire "job creator" is mad about having to offer his employees health care.

In tonight's "Bigger Picture" discussion Thom talks with a panel of experts about Climate Change and the Right's refusal to believe in science. Tonight's "Big Picture Rumble" panel discusses raising taxes on the rich, implementing Obamacare, immigration and how voter suppression and gerrymandering effected the 2012 election. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom discusses how America can turn into a third world nation in just four easy steps.

Erikka Knuti, Democratic Strategist & Sam Sacks, Progressive writer/strategist both join Thom Hartmann. Will Republicans put partisanship aside to save the American economy - or are we just 48 days away from falling into total economic despair?

Professor Richard Wolff, New School University NYC, joins Thom Hartmann. Riots have again erupted in Greece - as the Greeks continue to protest the austerity measures that are destroying their country. Is America out of the woods when it comes to austerity policies - or is there a chance Republicans will still force the crippling policies down our throats?

Attorney Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire Radio, joins Thom Hartmann. When the newly elected Congress gets underway - the House will still be controlled by Republicans - and the Senate still controlled by Democrats. What did Republicans across America do in 2010 to keep as many Democrats as possible out of the halls of Congress - and what effect did it have on this year's election?

Thom Hartmann's Geeky Science! Your dog knows more about you than you realize

Remember sitting around for hours as a child playing Monopoly - trying to take away money and property from everyone else? Well - look around you - because the global economy has become one big game of Monopoly - and it's a game that's dragging us into economic collapse.

Thom talks the politics of the looming "Fiscal Cliff" with Progressive Commentator Sam Sacks and Democratic Strategist Erikka Knuti. Also discussed: the role voter suppression and gerrymandering had on the 2012 election, why dogs look to their owners for guidance like children do with their parents and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom discusses how our world economy is turning into the game Monopoly.

Something is happening in this country and Harry Reid must seize on to it by passing filibuster reform to ensure that this progressive movement can freely march forward without Republican relics in the Senate obstructing it. And even if Republicans do take power in the Senate again in the future, and there is no filibuster, at least we'll know President Obama, when he had the chance, was able to put in place a strong flank of progressive judges that will last a generation. And those judges will serve for decades compared to a Republican majority which will only serve two years. In the long-run, it will still be better. Ultimately though, this election proves that progressivism is still alive, and the nation wants progressive judges to interpret law for the next generation. President Obama will have the power to do just that, but if Harry Reid doesn't kill the filibuster first so progressive judges can survive the nominating process, then we'll end up getting a bunch of Joe Liebermans on the bench...and that ain't progress.

The Good! *Residents of Troy, Michigan* Voters in Troy, Michigan removed their mayor from office yesterday - because of her blatant homophobic comments over the past few years. Shortlly after New York passed marriage equality - former Troy mayor Janice Daniels posted on Facebook that she had thrown out her "I Love New York" shirt "now that queers can get married there." And - earlier this year - she told high school students that homosexuality is a "dangerous mental disease" and compared it to the dangers of smoking. Daniels' ouster is another victory for LGBT equality in our nation.

"We the People" say no to big $ - David Cobb, National Spokesperson-Move to Amend joins Thom Hartmann. At the polls yesterday - voters in 100 communities across America overwhelmingly said no to corporate money influencing our democracy. Is a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United now on the horizon?
