For all her talk, she\u2019s still voting with them to gut healthcare \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Greene voted in the summer for cuts to Medicaid and the reduction of enhanced tax credits for the Affordable Care Act, but then in October criticized the ACA cuts as premiums soared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Kentucky Republican congressman Thomas Massie, who has also taken public stands against Trump including over the Epstein files release, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepThomasMassie\/status\/1992046487551787209\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow\">said<\/a> on X that he was \u201cvery sad for our country but so happy for my friend Marjorie. I\u2019ll miss her tremendously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Greene said in her resignation video that she refused to be a \u201cbattered wife\u201d after her public fallout with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump<\/a>, but the president suggested to NBC News that he would like to see Greene resume her political career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cIt\u2019s not going to be easy for her\u201d to revive her career in politics, he said, adding: \u201cI\u2019d love to see that.\u201d In the meantime, \u201cshe\u2019s got to take a little rest\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Greene could have led the anti-Trump resistance but the mob boss got his way<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump acolyte turned nemesis who bested him over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, has stunned the political establishment again. In what should have been her hour of triumph, the Maga star abruptly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2025\/nov\/21\/marjorie-taylor-greene-resigns\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced that she was quitting<\/a> the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In one timeline, she could have used the Epstein win as the foundation of an anti-Trump resistance in the Republican ranks. The party has spent the past decade demonstrating that cowardice is contagious. Instead Greene follows the likes of fellow dissenters Liz Cheney, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and Adam Kinzinger in heading for the exit. Trump has presided over the homogenisation of the Republican party: you are loyal to him or you are out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><a

act: out of the blue, full of punchy language and rage and \u2013 mostly \u2013 unexpected by people on both sides of the political aisle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Here, we take you through the career highlights of the Maga star, beginning with a writing career for a conspiracy-laden website, followed by a run for Congress, calls for the death penalty against political opponents and a spectacular breakdown with the leader she was most loyal to, Trump himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><a
