President Donald Trump celebrated the retirement announcement of one of the two Republicans who voted against advancing his "big, beautiful bill.""Great News! Senator Thom Tillis will not be seeking reelection," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social."For all cost-cutting Republicans, of which I am one, REMEMBER, you still have to get reelected. Dont go too crazy! We will make it all up, times 10, with GROWTH, more than ever before," he continued in a separate post.The North Carolina Republican announced on Sunday that he would not seek re-election in the 2026 cycle. Tillis would have been among the most vulnerable Republicans running next year. He faced threats from Trump to face a challenger after his vote against the presidents agenda Saturday night.SCOOP: HOUSE REPUBLICAN EYES BID FOR THOM TILLIS SENATE SEAT AFTER TRUMP ATTACKThe lawmaker voted against advancing the bill and is likely to vote against final passage, because deep Medicaid cuts inside the colossal bill brought on changes to the Medicaid provider tax rate.THOM TILLIS ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM SENATE AFTER CLASH WITH TRUMPTillis railed against the slow death of bipartisanship in Washington in a statement."In Washington over the last few years, it's become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species," he said.TRUMP THREATENS TO SUPPORT A PRIMARY CHALLENGER AGAINST GOP SENATOR FOR OPPOSING 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'His announcement also comes after Trump spent much of Saturday evening blasting Tillis as a "grandstander" and vowing to interview potential primary challengers, while Vice President JD Vance, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and his leadership team worked over holdout fiscal hawks."Numerous people have come forward wanting to run in the Primary against Senator Thom Tillis," Trump said on Truth Social. "I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America.

In a statement, the North Carolina Republican referenced "the greatest form of hypocrisy in American politics.""When people see independent thinking on the other side, they cheer," Tillis said. "But when those very same people see independent thinking coming from their side, they scorn, ostracize, and even censure.""In Washington over the last few years, it's become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species," he added.Tillis added that the choice broke down to either spending time with his family or navigating "the political theater and partisan gridlock," in Washington, D.C."It's not a hard choice, and I will not be seeking re-election," he said.SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' THROUGH KEY TEST VOTESenator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also reacted to Tillis' announcement with a criticism of Trump."I do not agree with N.C.

President Donald Trump suggested on Fox News Sunday that reporters will be pressured to reveal their sources on stories about the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities."Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump about his recent social media post on Thursday that read, "The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran.

Iran's top Shiite cleric issued a religious decree against President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday, an act some experts called an incitement to terrorism.The fatwa from Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi called on Muslims around the world to take a stand, according to the New York Sun. It states that any individual or government that challenges or endangers the leadership and unity of the global Islamic community (the Ummah) is to be regarded as a "warlord" or a "mohareb," defined as someone who wages war against God. Under Iranian law, those identified as mohareb can face execution, crucifixion, limb amputation, or exile."Those who threaten the leadership and integrity of the Islamic Ummah are to be considered warlords," Makarem said in the ruling. He finished with a prayer asking for protection from these "enemies" and for the swift return of the Mahdi, a messianic figure in Shiite Islam.IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER SLAMS TRUMP JUST DAYS AFTER US STRIKES ON NUCLEAR SITESBritish-Iranian commentator Niyak Ghorbani condemned the fatwa, describing it as a state-endorsed incitement to global terrorism.He posted on his X account that the Islamic Republic's aggression is not limited to domestic dissent but signals broader international ambitions for religiously motivated violence.IRAN CALLS ISRAELI STRIKES A 'DECLARATION OF WAR,' SWIFTLY REPLACES KILLED MILITARY LEADERS"The West must realise: the Islamic Republic is not only targeting its own people it is preparing for global violence in the name of religion," he wrote in the post.This fatwa followed what has been dubbed the "12-Day War," during which American and Israeli efforts reportedly inflicted significant damage on Irans nuclear capabilities.IRANIAN DICTATORS MOUTHPIECE INCITES FIRING BULLETS INTO TRUMPS EMPTY SKULLOn June 13, Israeli airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities, reportedly killing top scientists and commanders. In retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israeli cities. The U.S. joined the conflict a week later, striking three Iranian nuclear sites.Trump had earlier warned that any further enrichment of uranium by Iran to weapons-grade levels would provoke additional American action. This warning followed a brief ceasefire that ended a 12-day period of intense conflict.It is not the first time Iranian clerics have used fatwas to incite violence.The most infamous case was the 1989 decree against author Salman Rushdie after the release of his novel "The Satanic Verses," which many Muslims considered offensive. That fatwa forced Rushdie into hiding, led to the murder of a Japanese translator, and multiple attacks on the books publishers.Rushdie has survived multiple assassination attempts since, including a 2023 stabbing attack in upstate New York in which he lost an eye.
