Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, representing Washington's 10th district since 2021, recently expressed her views on various political issues through a series of tweets. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Strickland has been an active member of the U.S. Congress and resides in Tacoma.

On February 13, 2025, Strickland addressed the topic of Black History Month in a tweet stating that despite any changes to its official recognition by President Elon Musk and Vice President Trump, "Black History is American History." "President @elonmusk and VP Trump can take it off the calendar, but we’re here to stay. Black History is American History."

Later that day, Strickland criticized the House GOP's fiscal priorities in another tweet. She claimed that they are cutting Medicaid funding to provide tax cuts for billionaires such as President Elon Musk. She stated that this action represents a betrayal of children and families in Washington and across America. ".@HouseGOP's priorities are clear. They are cutting Medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires like President @elonmusk."

In a subsequent tweet on February 14, 2025, Strickland voiced her support for efforts by House Democrats to counter actions by President Elon Musk and his administration. She emphasized their commitment to opposing policies she finds objectionable. ".@HouseDemocrats are doing everything we can to stop @POTUS and @elonmusk."
