Tulsi Gabbard has submitted her resignation as the Director of National Intelligence. Her husband was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and she wants to be there by his side during this incredibly hard, painful, and scary time.

Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare… pic.twitter.com/PS0Dxp5zpd
She is leaving the administration out of care and concern for her husband, and Trump had nothing but kind things to say about her departure as well.

Her departure, though a great loss for the Trump Administration, is totally understandable. But leave it to the liberal media to spin this and say it was because of a disagreement with Trump on the Iran War and that she was forced out.
She resigned because her husband has cancer.

This is false. Her husband, who is an absolutely incredible human being, has been diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. pic.twitter.com/hUrGtjcof4
This is disgusting. Not only is it incredibly untrue and misleading, but it’s a slap in the face to Tulsi and her husband. You don’t hate the media enough. Prayers for Abraham, Tulsi, and their family. I cannot begin to imagine how hard this is going to be for them. This Administration is losing a great one.
