Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, representing Florida's 20th district, has been vocal on several pressing issues through her recent social media posts. Her tweets highlight concerns over government cuts, national security, and privacy protection.

On February 17, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick shared insights from a discussion with Jackie Nespral of NBC6 regarding government spending. She stated that "blanket cuts to our government only harm Americans more than help them." The congresswoman emphasized the importance of congressional analysis in evaluating the risks and rewards associated with such financial decisions.

Later that day, she addressed the efforts of USAID in combating terrorism. According to her post at 22:31 UTC, "USAID has been actively fighting the rise of terrorist organizations and militant groups by providing life-saving care to vulnerable populations." She warned that without this humanitarian aid, national security could be compromised.

In another tweet posted at 22:41 UTC on February 17, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick expressed concerns about privacy related to taxpayer information. She noted that "DOGE is seeking detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country." She argued against granting access to sensitive IRS records to an unelected businessman and called for protective measures involving House Republicans.
