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. ♥️🇺🇸
I did not—and do not—support the decision to postpone the budget resolution. I worked hard to get Leader Thune to agree to bring it up so we could move forward on the SAVE America Act, and I appreciate his willingness to do so.
I’m very disappointed we didn’t vote. We’ve talked enough. It’s time to stop talking and start voting.
I also voted NO to adjourn, and my NO vote is recorded in writing with the Senate clerk.
@NoDMsPerfavore I honestly can't think of a single thing that wasn't built to last. Ir was built here with quality materials and wasnt shipped from places all aroynd the globe. We now pay way more for planned obsolecense.
Our hearts are heavy today.
LVMPD Officer Austin Abdelnabi was killed in the line of duty while answering a call to protect this community. A Marine veteran, a husband, and a man who showed up every day for the people of Las Vegas.
This hits close to home because it happened in my hometown.
To his wife Sage, his family, and every member of Metro — we stand with you. We are grateful for his service and we will not forget his sacrifice.
Rest easy, Officer.

...The so-called “Hands Up Act” appears to want to make any such shooting a type of strict liability based entirely on the absence of a gun, removing the governing standard for reasonably mistaken uses of lethal force.
...It can also be murder, again, if the officer acted without a reasonable fear for his life or the lives of others. However, officers are allowed to be mistaken if those mistakes are reasonable under the circumstances. Travis Washington reportedly has declared the violent protests in Ferguson, Missouri "justified."
An Indiana University official has over 3 million petition signatures for a new law "that prohibits police officers from shooting unarmed citizens." https://t.co/hzJuPtEtM4 We already have such a law, if the shooting is unjustified and unreasonable. It is called manslaughter...
@IngrahamAngle Little women should not be in law enforcement (except to process rape cases).
Men are made for war and law enforcement. Encourage them. Do not penalize "toxic" masculinity... we need manly men tough strong to protect women children and the elderly from invaders.
