Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, representing Florida's 20th district, has recently shared insights on several important topics through her social media posts. Known for her commitment to public service and policy advocacy, she continues to engage with constituents and stakeholders on matters of national importance.

On February 11, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick discussed the significance of USAID in an interview with Reverend Al Sharpton on "PoliticsNation." She emphasized the agency's crucial role in ensuring national and global security. "I spoke with @thereval on @politicsnation about the critical role USAID plays in national and global security. The agency is essential to combatting terrorist threats. We either feed them now, or we fight them later."

Later that day, she invited her followers to participate in a Tele-Town Hall scheduled for Thursday. This event aims to provide information from the American Federation of Government Employees regarding resources and protections available for federal workers. "Join me this Thursday for a Tele-Town Hall to hear from the American Federation of Government Employees on the resources and protections available for our federal workers."

On February 12, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick again spoke with Reverend Al Sharpton about a decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs concerning job eligibility under a deferred resignation plan. She highlighted how this action underscored the importance of evaluating federal employees based on qualifications rather than political allegiance. "I talked to @thereval about the @deptvetaffairs declaring over 130 jobs ineligible under the deferred resignation plan. This act saved countless lives as we reinforced that every federal employee must be judged on qualifications and service commitment- not political loyalty."
