Roger Ebert wasn't just a movie critic, he was one of the most unapologetically progressive public voices in modern America.

@political_bill I'm infuriated by this bill, but not at POTUS. The President just defused a massive austerity bomb... for now.

@political_bill None of this should have had to happen this way. The Republican Party has incapacitated America's representative government.

@lesamoursmusic @political_bill From what I'm reading, capital gains tax raise makes up for income tax raise hitting only >400 vs >250k.

I wish the progressives on the twitters were as concerned about poverty or climate change as their non-existent chance of being droned.

MT @ericboehlert Jaw-droppingly evil... Jindal Eliminates Hospice Care for Medicaid Recipients  http://bit.ly/Syx0h9  #awfulpeople

Hi gun nuts. I have access to Google, so I know Hitler actually LOOSENED gun laws. What's your fucking excuse?

@mwgfla @political_bill A MUCH better Senate and just-as-bad House will be able to take on sequester later this year.

@political_bill And every Republican attack on 'entitlements' should be a reminder of what sitting at home back in 2010 got us. #p2

RT @robdelaney: May I ask everyone who follows me, without exception, to RT this voting info for all 50 states?  http://bit.ly/S8PXUf 

If you think there's "no difference" between the two parties, remember who just voted to lower your income $1000 next year. #p2

.@political_bill Only with this GOP and this US political media can Democrats wanting to follow the Constitution be called "nuclear." #p2

HEY DAWG I HEARD U LIKE ILLEGAL PRISONS SO I BUILT AN ILLEGAL PRISON IN YOUR ILLEGAL PRISON #AmericanPriorities  http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/21/pentagon-wants-to-build-new-prison-at-guantanamo/?smid=tw-share …

@political_bill Ahh yes, because if there's any national political party that totaly respects precedents and norms, it's today's GOP.

@political_bill For Dems to grow up about "entitlements" might start with not calling them "entitlements." They're earned benefits.

The GOP has a problem with the Consumer Protection Bureau. Namely that it's a bureau, and that it protects consumers. #p2

@mochoudhury @anonyops Mo, get facts straight: shitty US Congress passed laws banning $ to close Gitmo AND transfer of detainees to US soil.

@political_bill Not only is DoD most socialist program of US gov't, it's the MOST TRUSTED public institution in America!

Wow! RT @mattfraction Romney stands by pledge to shut down FEMA. GOP says no one cares about FEMA right now anyway.  http://bit.ly/PCNEMB 

@kelly_carlin Because they WERE rationalized away before Obama was even a Senator, Kelly, and we're only just realizing it now.
