Tulsi just went bye-bye.

Ostensibly, it's because of her husband being diagnosed with aggressive cancer, which is a good reason to step away. But even before she left, there were rumors that Trump wasn't very happy with her. Plus, she's a woman, and almost every major cabinet member that has left Trump's cabinet was female, like Bondi, Noem, and former Labor Secretary What's-Her-Face.

She also didn't rseem to actually do anything. They made a big deal of her being appointed to Trump's cabinet because she was a former Democrat (almost entirely because Republicans pretty much have no chance in Hawai'i; she and her father Mike Gabbard were otherwise basically Southern Republicans in leis). But after she was confirmed, nothing.

I'm guessing that, husband having cancer or not, Gabbard pretty much saved Trump the trouble and bad press of firing her.
