Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said Sunday he will not run again in 2026, a decision that landed less than 24 hours after he crossed President Donald Trump on a marquee tax-and-immigration bill and drew an instant primary threat.
What Happened: Serving in the U.S. Senate has been a &#8220;blessing,&#8221; the two-term lawmaker, 64, wrote, recalling a rise from making minimum wage and living at a trailer park to Capitol Hill? Tillis and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) were the only Republicans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46159430/trumps-major-bill-advances-in-senate-amid-late-night-vote-salt-provision-compromise-stirs-controversy">oppose opening debate</a> on Trump's $4 trillion "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," prompting Trump to vow on Truth Social to meet with &#8220;numerous people" eager to oust Tillis in a GOP primary. "Tillis is a talker and complainer, NOT A DOER," Trump wrote.
The President later hailed Tillis's exit as "Great News!" to supporters online.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s social media outcry initially arrived hours after Tillis declared in a statement that he "cannot support" the president's spending bill in its current form. Tillis warned that the bill's anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45344596/house-republicans-push-880-billion-medicaid-cuts-to-renew-trump-tax-breaks-democrat-warns-millions-will-lose-their-health-care">Medicaid cuts</a> would strip North Carolina, including its hospitals and rural communities, of tens of billions of dollars in funding.
The surprise retirement instantly scrambles the 2026 map in a battleground state Trump won narrowly twice. According to a Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/29/thom-tillis-retires-00432045">report</a>, Democrats have courted former governor Roy Cooper, while Republicans eye Trump&#8217;s daughter-in-law and ally Lara Trump. Tillis's exit also highlights the peril for GOP moderates who buck Trump. The party previously censured Tillis for backing gun-safety and same-sex marriage deals.
Meanwhile, the Senate will resume work this week on amendments to the bill that spurred Tillis's break with Trump; passage would return the measure to the House before Independence Day.

Thom Tillis Pulls Out Of 2026 Re-Election Run After Saying He 'Cannot Support' Trump-Backed 'One Big Beautiful Bill', President Calls It 'Great News'

As Reddit Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) celebrates its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/03/37879478/humble-beginnings-like-nvidia-reddit-was-founded-inside-a-restaurant">20th anniversary</a>, CTO Chris Slowe discussed how the platform's unique blend of AI-powered search and human-driven content distinguishes it from both traditional search engines like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and AI companies like OpenAI, as well as social media giants like Elon Musk's X, Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Instagram and ByteDance-owned TikTok.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.theverge.com/reddit/692481/reddit-20th-anniversary-cto-ai-future">interview</a> with The Verge that was published on Saturday, Slowe mentioned that as Reddit enters its third decade, the platform has embraced AI to enhance user experience.
The rollout of tools like Reddit Answers, a feature that uses AI to generate concise summaries from the platform&#8217;s wealth of user-generated content, can be seen as an example of this development.
Slowe emphasized that Reddit's AI tools are distinct because they link back to the original posts, maintaining a direct connection to the community-based content.

"If you just want the short summary, it's there. If you want to delve deeper, it's an easier way to get into it," Slowe explained.
Slowe also addressed Reddit's decision to collaborate with AI giants like Google and OpenAI, while protecting its own data. He noted, "We aren't a charity&#8230; don't build your business on our back and expect us not to defend ourselves."
When asked about the competition from AI-powered search tools, Slowe said that Reddit aims to keep its identity intact. "Keep allowing Reddit to be Reddit."&nbsp;
Slowe said that the platform doesn't require users to share their real names. In fact, a user's reputation on the platform is shaped by what they contribute, not by who they are in real life — a model he says stands in drastic contrast to other social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok or Facebook.

Why It's Important: College roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian launched Reddit in 2005 and built the fledgling platform on a tight budget until it was acquired by Condé Nast a year later.
The site struggled to find its footing under the media giant's ownership, leading the founders to step away as the company lost its sense of direction.
Eventually, Condé Nast spun Reddit back out as an independent entity. When user discontent reached a boiling point in 2015, Huffman returned as CEO to steer the company through turbulent waters.
Over the next nine years, Reddit regained stability and grew its revenue more than fiftyfold, culminating in a long-awaited IPO nearly two decades after its founding.
Reddit, which made its public debut in March 2024, continues to rank among the world's most-visited websites. According to Semrush, as of April 2025, Reddit.com is the seventh most visited site globally.
It currently has a market cap of $26.38 billion.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, Reddit's stock has surged by 210.89% over the past five years, despite being down 13.80% year-to-date. Over the past year alone, shares have climbed 114.75%.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Reddit's shares are maintaining an upward trend across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More in-depth performance insights can be found here</a>.

Canada rescinded its Digital Services Tax (DST) on Monday to support complex trade negotiations with the United States, reversing a policy that had triggered market volatility and threatened bilateral relations.
What Happened: Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced the decision following Prime Minister Mark Carney&#8216;s agreement with President Donald Trump to resume negotiations toward a comprehensive deal by July 21. 
The move halts the scheduled June 30 collection and will require new legislation to formally repeal the Digital Services Tax Act.
The DST, announced in 2020, targeted large technology companies generating revenue from Canadian users who might otherwise avoid taxation. 
Trump had halted trade talks on Friday after Canada announced the digital tax, calling it &#8220;a direct and blatant attack&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">on American technology companies</a>. His Truth Social post triggered sharp market reversals, with the S&amp;P 500 tumbling 52 points from record highs. Major tech stocks including Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) declined 7.1%, 6.9%, and 4.5% respectively.

Why It Matters: Currency markets reflected the tension as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46150909/trump-canada-tariffs-dollar-deal">Canadian dollar weakened</a> from 1.3670 to 1.3750 against the U.S. dollar. The iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>) fell nearly 1% to $45.39.
&#8220;Canada&#8217;s new government will always be guided by the overall contribution of any possible agreement to the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,&#8221; Carney stated. The Prime Minister emphasized that rescinding the digital tax supports negotiations toward their agreed timeline.
Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45992119/trump-cuts-g7-visit-short-calls-canada-deal-achievable">had previously declared the deal</a> &#8220;achievable&#8221; during G7 meetings, despite philosophical differences on tariff approaches.

Pepe Leaps Ahead Of Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Sunday Night: Analyst Expects 'Jackpot July' For Frog-Themed Crypto

Chinese fintech giant Ant Group disclosed on Monday that it invested a record 23.45 billion yuan ($3.26 billion) in research and development during 2024, marking the fourth consecutive year of increased R&amp;D spending since 2021.
What Happened: The Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) affiliate revealed the figures in its 2024 sustainability report, according to Reuters, highlighting its commitment to technology advancement amid China&#8217;s artificial intelligence boom.
Ant Group, formerly known as Ant Financial, operates China&#8217;s dominant mobile payments platform, Alipay, and has been rebuilding its operations following regulatory setbacks that derailed its 2020 initial public offering. Chinese regulators halted the company&#8217;s planned IPO at the last moment and imposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45200539/alibabas-ant-group-eyes-hong-kong-ipo-for-ant-international-as-it-pushes-forward-with-fintech-growth">antitrust measures on domestic tech giants</a>.

China's Ant Group Boosts R&D Spending To Record $3.26 Billion In 2024 Amid AI Push

Investor Gary Black, the founder of The Future Fund, has issued a cautious outlook on Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) upcoming second-quarter deliveries, saying that the EV giant is likely to miss estimates.
What Happened: On Saturday, in a post on X, Black projected that the company would deliver around 370,000 vehicles in Q2, marking a 17% year-over-year decline, while falling short of consensus estimates by Wall Street analysts at 385,000, or 13% before estimates.
&#8220;We expect TSLA 2Q deliv[erie]s due out next week to disappoint,&#8221; Black said, adding that the ideal re-entry price for the stock would be &#8220;in the $250 range,&#8221; which he notes is 30% below the price that his fund had exited a couple of weeks ago, at $358 a share.

Black also cautions that the company&#8217;s widely anticipated, upcoming affordable models could end up cannibalizing its sales instead of expanding its total addressable market, if they end up being just stripped-down versions of the existing Model 3 or the Model Y.
&#8220;If the 2023–2024 price-cutting experience repeats, a lower-priced, lower-cost model won't expand TSLA TAM or generate incremental volume since it will merely cannibalize the higher-priced trims,&#8221; he says.
Instead, Black argues that Tesla would need to introduce an entirely new form factor, such as a compact hatchback or a low-priced pickup, to attract new customer segments and generate true volume growth.

Why It Matters: Black has repeated his theory on cannibalization several times in the past, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44971532/teslas-new-cheaper-cars-might-not-be-the-game-changer-investors-hoped-for-warns-gary-black-heres-why-he-thinks-they-could-hurt-more-than-help">warning shareholders</a> about this for the first time over two months ago. 
He has also repeatedly warned that the company&#8217;s second-quarter sales would be disappointing.

Other leading analysts, such as Mark Delaney of Goldman Sachs, have since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45818240/tesla-stock-faces-demand-brand-issues-in-us-competition-in-china-analyst-lowers-delivery-estimates">lowered their price targets</a> for the stock to $290, with a &#8220;Neutral&#8221; rating, citing the company&#8217;s substantial demand and brand-related issues. 
There have been several bullish takes on the stock as well, with Wedbush analyst Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46157191/tesla-the-next-month-could-make-or-break-the-year">raising the target</a> to $500 while reiterating its &#8220;Outperform&#8221; rating last week.
In a research note, Ives said, &#8220;We believe the march to a $2 trillion valuation for Tesla has now begun.&#8221;
Price Action: Shares of Tesla were down 1.43% on Friday, ending the week at $323.79, but it is up 0.75% after hours.

Gary Black Warns Tesla Q2 Deliveries Will 'Disappoint' — Says Cheaper Models Could Cannibalize Sales And See Ideal Re-Entry 22% Below Current Levels

Seasoned investor Cathie Wood said Saturday that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holders may not hesitate to shift their holdings to a centralized cryptocurrency exchange to avail home loans.
What Happened: Wood, the CEO of&nbsp;ARK Invest, was responding to an X user who suggested that Bitcoin holders, who typically self-custody their assets, would be unlikely to&nbsp;move their holdings to a&nbsp;centralized exchange to help their loan applications.
Wood countered this view, stating, &#8220;Bitcoin hodlers probably have a&nbsp;large percent of their net&nbsp;worth in crypto and therefore&nbsp;have not been able to&nbsp;qualify for a mortgage. I&nbsp;wouldn't be surprised if they&nbsp;were to shift some of&nbsp;their Bitcoin to Coinbase to&nbsp;serve as collateral for a&nbsp;once unattainable new home.&#8221;

Wood praised the directive, stating that it could bolster both crypto and housing<a href="https://x.com/CathieDWood/status/1938961940501667967"> significantly.</a>

Bitcoin Investors Faced Mortgage Hurdles Due to Crypto-Tied Assets, Says Cathie Wood: 'Won't Be Surprised' If They Were To Shift Some Of Their BTC To Coinbase

What Happened: Over the weekend, Kuo highlighted Apple&#8217;s lag in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45580078/apple-could-reportedly-launch-ai-smart-glasses-next-year-and-here-is-what-all-they-are-expected-to-do">the smart glasses</a> market, especially compared to Meta&#8217;s Ray-Ban models.
&#8220;Apple could build the best Meta Ray-Ban–like smart glasses on the market,&#8221; Kuo said, &#8220;Yet its decision-making in this area has been surprisingly slow.&#8221;

Apple Has the Potential To Crush Meta's Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, Says Ming-Chi Kuo, But The Tech Giant Has Been 'Surprisingly Slow'

Standard Chartered chief executive&nbsp;Bill Winters&nbsp;says his Ivy League MBA was "a waste of time," and the real edge in today's AI-driven economy comes from the curiosity and empathy he developed as a humanities major.
What Happened: Winters, 63, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-06-24/stanchart-ceo-bill-winters-on-imposter-syndrome-video">told</a> Bloomberg last week that his 1988 Wharton degree added little value, even though the New Jersey native parlayed it into a 26-year run at JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:&nbsp;JPM) and a decade at the helm of the £26 billion emerging-markets lender.
"I studied international relations and history. I got an MBA later, but that was a waste of time," he said. The veteran banker credits those undergraduate classes at Colgate University, not finance lectures in Philadelphia, for teaching him &#8220;how to think.&#8221;
&#8220;For the 40 years since I left university, those skills have been degraded, degraded, degraded. They're coming back now," he added, arguing that algorithmic tools handle most technical work while leaders must excel at "curiosity and empathy."

Is That True?</a>
Why It Matters: Winters' critique lands as MBA costs soar. Tuition at Wharton has climbed to roughly $93,000 a year, almost six times the 1988 sticker price, while median starting pay has only tripled. He urged teenagers to skip business school unless it delivers clear, job-ready skills.
Winters insists that humanities graduates are better positioned for boardrooms reshaped by generative AI. "The technical skills are being provided by the machine, or by very competent people in other parts of the world who have nailed the technical skills at a relatively low cost," he said.
Shark Tank star and investor Kevin O&#8217;Leary echoes Winters&#8217; thoughts. O&#8217;Leary once remarked that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46018778/kevin-oleary-once-said-that-business-school-graduates-know-nothing-until-the-real-world-smacks-them-something-he-learned-the-hard-way-now-he-can-spot-a-winner-in-15-minutes-flat">real-world experience</a>, rather than business school, shaped his instincts. Ken Griffin, founder of hedge‑fund giant Citadel LLC, also lectured Stanford students that he strongly believes that the key goal for everyone enrolled in an Ivy League MBA program should be to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45183198/citadel-kingpin-ken-griffin-warns-being-smartest-in-the-room-means-youve-screwed-up-your-mba">surround themselves with sharper minds</a>.

Ethereum also erupted late evening, reaching intraday highs of $2,523.32.&nbsp;
The rally resulted in nearly $200 million in cryptocurrency liquidations in the last 24 hours, with $164 million in shorts wiped out.

Another cryptocurrency chartist, Autumn Riley, stated that despite sideways movement, Bitcoin showed a bullish structure with higher lows, indicating that sell pressure was waning.
"Most people are seeing BTC just going sideways, but there's actually a lot happening inside this range," the analyst added.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Climb As Trump Labels Growing BTC Adoption As 'Great Thing': Sell Pressure On Largest Crypto May Be Fading Away, Says Analyst

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is once again taking a shot at President Donald Trump&#8217;s budget reconciliation bill, dubbed the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
What Happened: On Sunday, Sanders posted on X with highlights from his recent remarks on the Senate floor regarding the proposed legislation. 
Sanders calls the bill a &#8220;gift to the billionaire class,&#8221; which causes massive pain for millions of working-class American families, referring to it as &#8220;the most dangerous piece of legislation in the modern history of our country.&#8221;
The post is accompanied by a video of Sanders&#8217; speech on the Senate floor, where he says that the bill provides $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, along with a $211 billion estate tax exemption for the top 0.2%. &#8220;Congratulations, you hit the jackpot.&#8221;

He said that large corporations would receive $918 billion in tax cuts, even as many move jobs overseas or invest in job-replacing AI technologies.
Sanders further warned that the legislation would make deep cuts to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, removing health coverage for over 16 million Americans. &#8220;This bill throws over 16 million people off the health insurance they have,&#8221; he said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45785851/elizabeth-warren-says-trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-will-rip-away-health-coverage-from-16-million-a">citing projections from</a> the Congressional Budget Office.
The independent Senator from Vermont also criticized the bill for forcing Medicaid recipients with incomes as low as $16,000 per year to begin paying co-pays. &#8220;For the first time, [it] forces millions of Medicaid recipients who make as little as $16,000 a year to pay a $35 co-payment every time they visit a doctor&#8217;s office,&#8221; Sanders said.
Pointing to a joint study by the Yale School of Public Health and the University of Pennsylvania, Sanders claimed the consequences could be deadly. &#8220;They estimate that if this bill goes through, over 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;In other words, this bill is literally a death sentence for low-income and working-class people,&#8221; he says.

Why It Matters: Sanders is joined by several of his Democratic peers, alongside experts, analysts and economists in pushing back against this bill.
Last week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer referred to the bill as &#8220;flawed&#8221; and &#8220;irredeemable,&#8221; citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46132709/chuck-schumer-slams-gops-big-beautiful-bill-as-flawed-it-guts-healthcare-kills-jobs-to-fund-tax-breaks-for-billionaires">the same reasons</a> as Sanders, that it kicks millions off healthcare, kills good-paying energy jobs, and takes food away from children, all the while bankrolling &#8220;tax breaks for billionaires.&#8221;
Economist Justin Wolfers calls it &#8220;pure reverse Robin Hood,&#8221; calling out the fact that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45535537/trumps-budget-agenda-is-reverse-robin-hood-economics-says-justin-wolferstakes-from-working-families-gives-to-the-rich">takes from the poor</a> to give to the rich. 
Wolfers says that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45919422/trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-is-the-largest-redistribution-from-poor-to-rich-in-american-history-says-economist-justin-wolfers-amid-tax-cuts-spending-s">the bill represents</a> one of the &#8220;largest redistributions from poor to rich in American history.&#8221;
Even GOP senators, Ron Johnson&nbsp;(R-Wis.) and&nbsp;Rand Paul&nbsp;(R-Ky.) have warned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45604917/gop-senators-threaten-to-block-trumps-tax-and-spending-bill-over-deficit-medicaid-cuts-and-debt-ceiling-hike">against the bill</a>, saying that it could fuel deficits and inflation.
