Confederate leaders don't deserve to be honored. Not in our history books and not at our bases. I'm blocking military bases from being named after Confederate leaders. Read: strickland.house.gov/2025/07/16/str…

.@POTUS is more focused on attacking the media than he is on delivering results.❄️ @abbydphillip @CNN Watch: youtu.be/ay1a8kenKbc

.@POTUS continues to be reckless, threatening our businesses in the #SouthSound.
This administration’s reckless tariffs policies are causing havoc for businesses across the country, including those in WA-10. @RepStricklandWA shares what she has been hearing from businesses in her district.
My Cool Corridors Act will make our communities more resilient to the heat waves and extreme conditions that are becoming all too common. Read: strickland.house.gov/2025/07/15/str…

House Panel Adds Ban on Restoring Confederate Base Names as It Advances Major Defense Bill military.com/daily-news/202…

These attacks on diversity and inclusion have never been about doing what's best for our military. Shame that @HASCRepublicans can't put politics aside to do what's right for our security.
"I consistently hear people say that the U.S. military is the most lethal fighting force in the world. Period. Before this president took the White House and before many others have. So, what's changed? This attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion is really an attempt to…
