President Donald Trump\u2019s controversial Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is resigning.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026,\u201d DNI Gabbard wrote to President Trump, Fox News reports. \u201cMy husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

But President Trump wrote that Gabbard had done an \u201cincredible job,\u201d and \u201cwe will miss her,\u201d but Reuters reports that the White House \u201dforced\u201d Gabbard \u201cto \u2060resign from her post, a person familiar with the matter said on \u2060Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal\u2019s Dave Brown called Gabbard\u2019s tenure \u201ctumultuous,\u201d and there were plenty of sources to agree to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cGabbard has had a tough tenure being sidelined on Venezuela and Iran. Last month, Trump floated replacing her with Pam Bondi, but some advisers saved her,\u201d reported WIRED\u2019s Hugo Lowell. <\/p>\n

\u201cDuring pivotal moments,\u201d NBC News reports, \u201cas Trump deliberated over possible military action or watched live video feeds of operations in Iran or Venezuela, Gabbard was often not in the room, underscoring her outsider status.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critics of the Trump administration and Gabbard, in particular, were quick to respond.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood riddance. The Iran war has been the biggest display of intelligence incompetence in decades,\u201d wrote U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI).<\/p>\n

\u201cBuh-bye Tulsi,\u201d wrote attorney and independent journalist Katie Phang on Blue Sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarewell, Tulsi Gabbard. You didn’t stop any regime change wars, but at least you pretended you would,\u201d wrote Senafor reporter Dave Weigel.<\/p>\n

Other critics like Bulwark\u2019s John Sipher argued that Gabbard \u201clacks the experience, character, and competence the role demands, leading some to joke that, in this administration, DNI stands for \u201cdo not invite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sipher added that it\u2019s good Gabbard is out, but her whole department shouldn\u2019t exist either.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The] problem would be tolerable if the DNI had insulated intelligence from politics. Instead, the office has become especially vulnerable to politics because it is so far from a distinct operational culture,\u201d Sipher said. \u201cCIA has flaws, but it has a mission: recruit sources, steal secrets, pursue hard targets, and conduct covert action under law. NSA, NGA, NRO, and DIA all have missions. The DNI has a role<\/em>. And we are learning that roles are easier to politicize than missions.\u201d<\/p>\n
