U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who has served Florida’s 25th district in Congress since 2005, addressed a range of political issues on May 13, 2026, through several posts on her official social media account.
In a post at 13:59 UTC, Wasserman Schultz commented on the situation in Venezuela and former President Trump’s statements regarding U.S. policy there. She wrote, “Trump is declaring Mission Accomplished, but Venezuelans don’t feel it. Many political prisoners are in jail, exiles can’t safely return, Venezuelans deported from America are robbed, tortured and interrogated by the secret police. Venezuela needs elections, not statehood.”
Later that day at 15:28 UTC, she criticized a Republican spending proposal and its implications for government oversight and fiscal responsibility. In her words: “While Americans struggle to make ends meet, this Republican spending bill gives Trump a blank check for billionaire corruption. Watch @AppropsDems fight back:”
At 19:02 UTC the same day, Wasserman Schultz referenced ongoing concerns about victim rights in high-profile criminal cases involving Jeffrey Epstein. She stated: “Epstein survivors like Courtney Wild never got the chance to object to his backroom plea deal. I’m proud that my bipartisan amendment to require transparency & reform DOJ’s protection of victims’ rights was just adopted to the government funding bill.”
Wasserman Schultz has held her congressional seat since succeeding Peter Deutsch in 2005 and previously served in both chambers of Florida’s state legislature from 1992 to 2004. She was born in Queens, New York in 1966 and currently resides in Weston. The congresswoman graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in 1988.
