Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation from Congress in a four-page letter. The move follows a public and acrimonious split with President Donald Trump over key issues, including the release of government files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene was once one of Trump's closest allies but had increasingly broken with him and Republican leadership, particularly due to frustration with what she described as Congress being "sidelined" since Trump's return to office. Her departure narrows the Republican majority in the House ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
In her resignation statement, Greene expressed her reasons for stepping down, stating that Americans are often used by the Political Industrial Complex of both parties to elect whichever side can convince them to hate the other more. She cited issues such as rising debt, corporate and global interests dominating Washington, American jobs being replaced by foreign labor or visas, and small businesses being swallowed by big corporations.
Greene also spoke about her own experiences in Congress, including impeaching Biden's Secretary of Homeland Security and fighting against Democrat's damaging policies like the Green New Deal. However, she noted that despite her efforts, she had been subjected to non-stop personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, and slander, which has taken a toll on her life.
Greene stated that her self-worth is not defined by power or titles but by God, who created everything in existence. She expressed her desire to hold the Republican Party accountable for its promises to the American people and put America First.
Her resignation has sparked controversy, with Trump calling it "great news for the country." However, Greene's departure also highlights the challenges faced by Republicans in maintaining unity ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Can't say I'm surprised Marjorie Taylor Greene finally found her courage to walk away from all that drama & toxic politics.
Greene was like the ultimate wild card - one day you love her, next day she's at war with Trump 
. I think she made the right call, tho. The way they're treating each other? It's just too much 
. And what's up with this whole "America First" vibe? Sounds like a bunch of BS to me 
. Greene was all about taking on the system, not playing nice with either party 
. At least she spoke her mind (even if it meant putting herself through hell 
). I hope whoever takes her place can bring some real change to DC 
.
. It's crazy how she was once close to Trump but ended up breaking free from his camp 
. Now people are talking about the 'Political Industrial Complex' 
... sounds like some kinda big word for when politicians get caught up in their own games 
. Anyway, Greene's leaving behind a legacy of speaking truth to power 
... I mean, what about addressing the rising debt and corporate interests? Shouldn't those be priorities too? 
. On one hand, you got Trump saying it's "great news for the country" - that's just code for "I'm glad I don't have to deal with her drama anymore" 
.
. It's like they're saying "oh no, we can't agree on anything" 
.
. We got politicians who are more worried about their own power struggles than actually getting stuff done 
. It's like they're more interested in playing politics with each other than serving the people 
.
. We need politicians who are gonna stand up to the powers that be and fight for the little guy, not just kowtow to corporate interests 
It's like she said herself - Americans are often used as pawns in the game of politics. We're forced to choose between two sides that both want us to hate the other more 
.
. She had real concerns about the direction of our country, and it takes courage to speak truth to power 
. It's time for us to start valuing their humanity alongside their positions of power 
.
! She was literally speaking truth to power and holding those in charge accountable for their promises 
. People say she's being too confrontational, but honestly I think that's a good thing 
. And can we talk about how ridiculous it is that she got so much heat from both parties 
!
