But now, @POTUS and @SecKennedy are putting our most vulnerable at risk.” Strickland emphasized that over 13,000 students in Washington State depend on this program and criticized the current administration’s approach by saying @POTUS cannot continue attacking programs for children.

In a tweet dated May 19, 2025, she criticized the Republican members of the House of Representatives for their alignment with President Biden’s directives.
