I have submitted my resignation from the Department of War.
It has been an honor to support the mission of the Department. I remain a strong supporter of our nation’s military and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership.
I’m stepping back to focus on my book tour and midterms analysis in the months ahead.
I do want to say I’m disappointed by how Special Government Employees, not just myself, have been treated in public discourse. The SGE program exists so that talented private citizens can serve their country without leaving their lives behind. We as a nation can find a better way to welcome those who want to serve their country.
I’m grateful to have had the opportunity. I wish the Department and Secretary Hegseth continued success.

Will respond to him in the morning. But in the lead: Massie is genuine.
