From expanding market access at @USDA to working across international operations, @LukeJLindberg has built a career around turning policy into action.
That perspective will serve @WFP well as it confronts a changing global hunger landscape.
Last night, Donald Trump, our pathological liar-in-chief, said:
“Every single promise I made to you as a candidate, I’ve delivered on. I’ve delivered on everything.”
Really?
Well, let’s go down the list.
Since becoming president again, Trump promised:
✅ $5,000 DOGE dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $2,000 tariff dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $1,000+ checks by repealing ACA subsidies. A lie.
✅ A 10% cap on credit card interest rates. A lie.
✅ “The lowest drug prices in the world.” A lie.
✅ $2 a gallon gas. A lie.
✅ An end to inflation “starting on Day One.” A lie.
✅ An end to “endless wars.” A lie.
And now, after all of those lies, Trump wants you to believe that he will give every American adult a $5,000 check - but only if the Republicans win the midterms.
No. I don’t think so. The Trump Administration is not about helping working families. It’s about giving a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1% and throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they have.
Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life.
Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes.
Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life.
President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.
Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.
Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years.
And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role. ♥️🇺🇸

Meccha Chameleon looks so good man, would've been perfect content for a RubberRoss vid. I've been so busy with everything and traveling that I haven't even been able to play it once. When I get back I want to make time to play it. Looks like something I'd enjoy.

Crackdown Without Strategy Is Not Governance
Hundreds of small-scale traders scrambling for emergency travel documents outside the Burundian Embassy in Nairobi this week, ahead of a government deadline, tell you everything about how this crackdown has been handled. In typical Ruto chaoticness.
There are better, more deliberate ways to protect Kenyan small businesses and create an environment where entrepreneurs, Kenyan and foreign alike, can thrive within the law. The real threats facing our small traders are corruption, an unpredictable working environment including this regime's erratic tariffs and taxation policies, and the pre-election tensions being deliberately stoked by the outgoing regime, not the presence of foreign traders alone.
Diplomacy, dialogue, and respect for the rule of law must take centre stage, not just because we are approaching the 2027 General Election, but because that is how a government that respects the law conducts itself every day. A lack of diplomacy risks deepening divisions between communities, regions, and nations and destabilising economic activity at a time when Kenya can least afford it.
We must also insist on full transparency in how affected foreign nationals are processed going forward, including any documentation or status changes issued to them, so that this exercise is not later exploited for purposes that have nothing to do with trade or border management.
Let us also be honest: this crackdown is not about protecting Kenyan businesses. It is about projecting power where competence is clearly lacking by a regime that manufactures crises in an attempt to distract Kenyans from its self-imposed failures. Corruption, punitive taxation, and an economy gasping for breath because of Ruto are the real threats to Kenyan livelihoods and further evidence that this regime is unfit to lead. The country and the region are watching.
