WASHINGTON D.C February 9, 2026 – In a bold statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) late Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asserted that the United States is experiencing significant progress under the current administration, dismissing criticism from media and political opponents as attempts to obscure reality.
Leavitt, serving as Assistant to the President and the 36th White House Press Secretary, wrote:
“We’re Winning — and We’re Not Slowing Down. ‘While the Fake News & Radical Left collude to distract, depress, and divide, they’re simply lying to mask the undeniable truth: America is safer, stronger, richer, and more secure than at any point in decades.'”
The post links to an official White House article titled “Don’t Be a Panican — We’re Winning and We’re Not Slowing Down,” published on the whitehouse.gov website in February 2026. The article appears to highlight policy achievements and economic or security gains claimed by the administration.
The message drew a polarized response on social media. Supporters echoed the optimistic tone, with several users replying with patriotic symbols and affirmations of progress. Critics, however, challenged the claims, pointing to ongoing controversies including references to high-profile figures and allegations of protecting certain individuals. Replies ranged from accusations of deflection to direct skepticism about safety and security metrics.
Leavitt’s post received over 570 likes, 115 reposts, and more than 13,000 views within hours of publication, reflecting continued strong engagement from the administration’s base amid broader national debates.
This statement comes as the administration continues to emphasize positive momentum in public communications, contrasting sharply with persistent criticism from opposition voices and segments of the media.
