Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 25th district, has been vocal on various political issues through her social media platform. Her recent tweets address concerns about former President Donald Trump's actions and their implications for public policy and social issues.

On January 22, 2025, Rep. Wasserman Schultz expressed her concern regarding pardons issued by Trump, stating that they could embolden far-right extremists to commit violence against law enforcement and elected officials. She posted "Trump’s outrageous pardons will only encourage far-right extremists to commit more violence against police and elected officials."

Later that day, she reflected on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, criticizing its overturning by Trump and his supporters. She highlighted the impact on women's rights in several states with her post: "#RoevWade, decided 52 years ago today, protected abortion rights. Trump and far-right extremists overturned it, and now, women no longer fully control their own bodies in 22 states." She also directed those in Florida to her website for resources.

In another tweet from January 22, 2025, Rep. Wasserman Schultz criticized Trump's decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), warning of increased risks during future health crises due to this move. She stated: "Trump’s ignorant withdrawal from the @WHO will only handcuff us in the next major outbreak." She further commented on the potential consequences of such public health policies.
