Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, representing Florida's 20th district, has been vocal on social media regarding recent federal funding issues. Her tweets express concern over the implications of halting essential programs such as Medicaid and SNAP, emphasizing the impact on vulnerable populations.
On January 28, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick tweeted about the critical nature of federal assistance programs: "Pausing this funding is pausing someone’s life. Blocking Medicaid and SNAP puts lives at risk. Mothers, children, and seniors rely on this assistance to live. In my district, Medicaid services our children, pregnant mothers, our disabled."
In a subsequent tweet on the same day, she highlighted the importance of bipartisan cooperation: "This cannot be a party issue. This has to be an American issue. We must fight for the American people, above all."
On January 30, 2025, Cherfilus-McCormick addressed actions by the Trump administration regarding federal funding: "In the last 48 hrs, the Trump administration attempted to freeze federal funding for millions of Americans; a federal judge blocked it; administration rescinded the freeze then tells the American people we got it all wrong; freeze still stands. This is no way to govern a country."
