Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, representing Washington's 10th district since 2021, has recently shared her perspectives on various political matters through a series of tweets. Her posts reflect her involvement in legislative activities and her views on current defense leadership.

On March 26, 2025, Congresswoman Strickland tweeted about participating in the New Democrat Coalition's event known as "The Fly-In." She mentioned taking the middle seat alongside Representatives Greg Landsman and Val Demings. "This week I took the middle seat with @repgreglandsman and @repveasy on @NewDemCoalition's “The Fly-In”."

Later that day, she expressed criticism towards Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. In a tweet posted at 18:20 UTC, she questioned his capability to fulfill his duties effectively. "Actions speak louder than words and @SecDef Hegseth’s actions are telling us he can’t do his job."

Continuing her critique of Secretary Hegseth, Congresswoman Strickland addressed the House Armed Services Committee Republicans in another tweet at 19:12 UTC. She called for accountability from Secretary Hegseth and suggested that he should be dismissed from his position due to incompetence. ".@HASCRepublicans, we need you to do your jobs. @SecDef Hegseth is incompetent, he needs to explain himself, and he needs to be fired."
