In Nuke news...It's official - we have a deal. Earlier this afternoon - representatives from Iran and the P5 +1 powers announced in Lausanne - Switzerland that they had reached an agreement over Iran's nuclear program. The deal - according to officials involved - will require Iran to go through regular investigations - enrich uranium only at or below certain levels appropriate only for producing electricity or medicine - and curtail its total number of centrifuges. Iran will also have to make significant changes at two of its more controversial nuclear facilities. In exchange - the United States and the EU will "terminate" all sanctions. Make no mistake - this deal is not final - and there are still details to work out - but it is a huge step forward. Joining Thom for more on the Iran deal is Paul Kawika Martin, Policy and Political Director at Peace Action. LIVE from D.C. starting at 7pm eastern.

America's Lawyer Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire Radio joins thom. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s decades-long war on our post-Nixon campaign finance reforms - we now have the best democracy money can buy. This has done some really strange things to our election cycles. Back in January - for example - Charles and David Koch pledged to spend almost $900 million on the 2016 elections. That’s right - $900 million! Other billionaires - meanwhile - are waiting for the politicians to come to them. Later on this month - for example - a group of 2016 Republican hopefuls including Ted Cruz - Mike Pence - and Rick Perry are going to travel to Las Vegas to kiss the …um...rings of ultra-rich casino lord Sheldon Adelson. LIVE from D.C. starting at 7pm eastern.

Alexander Bullock - Executive Director of the Change Agent Consortium. LIVE from D.C. starting at 7pm eastern.
