Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's Replacement Revealed — Democrats FREAK OUT After Trump's...
Washington, D.C. - May 25, 2026
TULSI GABBARD RESIGNS AS DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE TO SUPPORT HUSBAND’S BATTLE WITH RARE BONE CANCER — TRUMP ANNOUNCES SEAMLESS TRANSITION WITH ACTING DIRECTOR AARON LUKAS
President Donald J. Trump announced Friday that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard will step down from her position at the end of June to focus on her family after her husband was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.
“Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her,”
Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, praising her service while expressing compassion for her personal situation.
Gabbard confirmed the decision in a heartfelt resignation letter posted to X, with her final day set for June 30, 2026.
“Dear Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half,”
“Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,”
She concluded with warm thanks.
“Thank you for your understanding during this deeply personal and difficult time for our family. I will remain forever grateful to you and to the American people for the profound honor of serving our nation as DNI,”
Aaron Lukas, the principal deputy director of national intelligence, will immediately serve as acting director, ensuring zero disruption to critical national security operations.
This smooth transition highlights the depth and strength of President Trump’s national security team.
Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who joined the Trump administration, brought an unconventional perspective during a period of escalating global threats from Iran, China, Russia, and the Middle East. While some media reports and Democrats have attempted to spin the departure as the result of internal policy differences — particularly on confronting Tehran’s nuclear ambitions — the White House has consistently framed the move as a deeply personal family decision.
President Trump publicly emphasized the seriousness of her husband’s condition and offered full support, demonstrating the compassionate leadership that defines his America First agenda.
The announcement has triggered predictable outrage from Democrats, who appear rattled by the continued stability of the Trump national security apparatus even amid personal challenges at the highest levels.
Gabbard’s tenure is credited with strengthening intelligence coordination across key threats, and her exit removes one of the administration’s most high-profile unconventional figures while maintaining continuity under an experienced insider.
No additional details about her husband’s diagnosis or treatment were released, and the White House has not yet indicated the timeline for a permanent replacement. For now, the focus remains on family and the seamless handover to Acting Director Lukas.
This development once again proves that under President Trump, the administration prioritizes both national security and American values — putting family first without missing a beat on protecting the homeland.
IT'S HAPPENING — Senate Majority Leader John Thune BEGS for Mercy as Trump Makes Massive Announcement
Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2026
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE FACES CONSERVATIVE FIRE AS PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDS IMMEDIATE PASSAGE OF SAVE AMERICA ACT
A powerful conservative organization is putting Senate Majority Leader John Thune on notice, warning it will recruit or endorse a primary challenger if the Senate fails to advance the SAVE America Act — a cornerstone election integrity bill backed by President Donald J. Trump.
Tyler Bowyer, a senior official with Turning Point Action, the political arm of Turning Point USA founded by Charlie Kirk, delivered the blunt message in a text to the Washington Examiner.
“America needs the Save America Act passed,”
The warning comes after Turning Point Action and Club for Growth poured millions into Indiana primaries, where Trump-endorsed challengers defeated six of seven targeted Republican state senators who opposed the president’s push to redraw congressional maps. The group’s heavy investment in field operations and grassroots turnout, partnered with activist Scott Presler, proved decisive.
Trump himself voiced sharp frustration Tuesday with Senate leadership and the continued use of the 60-vote filibuster threshold that has stalled the legislation.
“I’m disappointed. I like John a lot, but there’s a couple of Republicans that are foolish people,”
“A couple of them I like, a couple of them I can’t stand,”
The SAVE America Act would require photo identification at the polls and documented proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration while preserving mail-in voting for military members and those who truly need it.
“We should have the SAVE America Act. We should have voter identification, voter ID.
“We should have proof of citizenship. We should have mail-in voting for the military and people that need it, but not for everybody, because anytime you have mail-in voting, they’re going to cheat,”
Bowyer suggested Senate Republicans may need new leadership if they cannot deliver on core conservative priorities, naming Florida Sen. Rick Scott as a potential alternative.
Thune is a co-sponsor of the bill and has long supported voter ID, but sources close to his office insist the problem is simple math — the legislation currently lacks the votes to clear the filibuster. They point to a recent amendment vote tied to reconciliation that failed to secure even a bare majority. The aide also highlighted Thune’s record of fast-tracking Trump Cabinet confirmations and passing major tax and domestic policy legislation earlier this year.
Yet conservative groups are undeterred. Turning Point Action is signaling the campaign could expand nationally to hold Senate Republicans accountable on election security — a top America First priority as the 2026 midterms approach.
Trump’s public pressure and the threat of primaries underscore a clear message from the base: deliver results on voter integrity or face consequences at the ballot box. With Republicans holding the Senate majority, the SAVE America Act represents a straightforward opportunity to protect the vote and restore trust in American elections.
House Speaker Mike Johnson Looks Into the Cameras, Drops Midterm Bombshell That Will Panic Democrats
Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2026
HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON DROPS MIDTERM BOMBSHELL ON FOX & FRIENDS: TRUMP IRAN PEACE DEAL TO SLASH GAS PRICES AND DELIVER GOP HOUSE VICTORY
House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared on Fox & Friends at the Indianapolis 500 Sunday and delivered a confident message that has Democrats scrambling. Johnson declared he is “very confident” President Donald J. Trump will soon announce a historic peace deal with Iran that will stabilize the Middle East and bring immediate relief to American families at the pump.
This will allow 60 days to get the details done, and the number-one condition has been that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
We’ll take care of the nuclear dust. We’ll get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, which will be great for gas prices here and stability around the world.
And that’s why all the regional allies there and all the regional countries are following U.S. leadership under President Trump.
When co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy pressed Johnson on the political impact, the Speaker made clear the timing could not be better for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms.
Yeah, it’s a big thing.
Obviously we’ve done a lot of work: The Big Beautiful Bill, the working families tax cut — all of the legislation has been geared towards the cost of living, affordability, bringing the cost of living down.
We put in all those conditions in the economy to let it take off like a rocket, and we were doing that at the beginning of the first quarter, and then the Iran skirmish began.
So, when this settles down, gas prices come back down to earth, that means your grocery prices come down again because of transport costs and all the rest.
It’s going to be a big factor. The kitchen table issues are gonna decide the midterms.
Johnson added that Republicans have “plenty of runway,” superior candidates, and a fundraising edge.
We’re super excited about the midterms. I’m absolutely convinced that we’re gonna grow the majority and get this done and make history.
President Trump reinforced the positive momentum with a powerful Truth Social post outlining ongoing negotiations.
“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!”
Trump expressed hope that several key Middle East nations will join the Abraham Peace Accords once a settlement with Iran is reached.
“Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!),”
“It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be,”
“In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords,”
“Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign,”
“Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition,”
The combination of a looming Iran peace deal, falling energy prices, and strong Republican momentum has Democrats in full panic mode as the midterms draw closer.
With kitchen-table issues like gas and groceries poised to improve rapidly, Speaker Johnson’s outlook signals a clear path for Republicans to expand their House majority and deliver even more wins for the American people under President Trump’s America First leadership.
