Trump says he saved Iran supreme leader from ‘ugly,' ‘ignominious' death
President Trump on Friday claimed he saved Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from an 'ugly' and 'ignominious' death after the U.S. bombed three Iranian nuclear sites last Saturday. 'Why would the so-called 'Supreme Leader,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so,' Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social. 'His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life,' he continued. 'I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!'' Trump said he 'demanded' Israel call back planes that were headed to Tehran, 'looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout,' and that the move averted 'tremendous damage.' The president's comments come after Khamenei, in his first remarks since the U.S. strikes on Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities, declared victory in the conflict and argued the U.S. 'achieved nothing' through the strikes. 'My congratulations on our dear Iran's victory over the US regime,' Khamenei wrote early Thursday on social platform X. 'The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn't, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed.' 'It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing,' he added. The ayatollah noted in a second post that Iran 'delivered a heavy slap to the US's face' with its counterattack on the U.S. air base in Qatar. Trump, who has touted the strikes as a massive success that 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear capabilities — despite skepticism from Democrats — blasted the Iranian leader's statement. 'During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery — The sanctions are BITING!' the president wrote Friday. 'But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more.' He also warned things 'will only get worse' for Iran if they don't 'get back into the World Order flow' and urged Tehran leaders to 'realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!' Trump helped negotiate a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Iran that took effect within days of the U.S. strikes, and despite ongoing tension between the two sides, the fragile truce has held through the week. During a press conference at the White House Friday, the president left the door open to bombing Iran again if the U.S. gathers intel that raises concerns about the country's uranium enrichment capabilities.

Live updates: Senate GOP works to finesse ‘big, beautiful bill' language as critical vote looms
The Senate on Saturday is expected to take up a procedural vote to advance President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' after internal squabbles and parliamentarian rulings continue to cast doubt on its passage ahead of the self-imposed July 4 deadline. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) on Friday still noted that the schedule could be subject to change and called the vote 'aspirational.' 'All of it depends on …[we've] got a few things we're waiting on, outcomes from the parliamentarian. If we can get some of those questions, issues landed then my expectation is at some point, yeah, tomorrow we'll be ready to go,' Thune told reporters. It is unclear whether Republicans have enough support to advance the bill and what the final reconciliation package even looks like. Trump refrained from leaving Washington to spend the weekend at his New Jersey golf course to focus on getting the GOP megabill closer to the finish line. The crucial weekend on Capitol Hill comes after the Trump administration received a major victory with the Supreme Court's decision to effectively block judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.

Bacon not running for reelection
Nebraska Republican Rep. Don Bacon will not be running for re-election and will retire in 2026, a source familiar confirmed to The Hill. His district, which includes Omaha, was won by former Vice President Harris in the 2024 election and presents an opportunity for Democrats to pick up the 'blue dot' district Bacon has held since 2016. The five-term lawmaker will hold a press conference on Monday. Bacon, a long-time critic of President Trump, has signaled his openness to retirement in recent months, per local media. His decision to step aside opens the door for Democrats in the competitive district as it seeks to gain control of the House in 2026. State Sen. John Cavanaugh (D) launched a campaign for the seat earlier this week, arguing he will fight to strengthen Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans in Omaha were already delivered a blow earlier this year when a Democrat ousted the incumbent GOP mayor. Democrats have won the 2nd Congressional District's electoral vote in three of the past presidential elections. Mychael Schnell contributed to this report.
