Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 25th district, shared her views on various political and social issues through a series of tweets on February 8, 2025. These tweets reflect her stance on consumer protection, Cuban-American relations, and interfaith unity.

In a tweet posted at 16:49 UTC, Wasserman Schultz emphasized the role of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in safeguarding American consumers. She stated that "The @cfpb has returned billions of dollars to consumers’ wallets and protected Americans for over a decade." She further asserted that the CFPB was established by law and can only be abolished through legal means, not by what she described as "a cryptic tweet by an unelected billionaire 'co-president.'"

Later that day at 19:11 UTC, Wasserman Schultz addressed former President Donald Trump's relationship with the Cuban community. In her tweet, she questioned why Cubans should support Trump when he does not defend them: "Trump doesn't defend Cubans. So why should Cubans defend Trump?" This statement was also provided in Spanish.

Finally, at 22:19 UTC, Wasserman Schultz highlighted efforts to combat antisemitism and promote understanding among different faiths. She praised organizations like AMMWEC for their work in building interfaith unity amid divisive rhetoric from extreme voices online and within the White House. Her tweet read: "While extreme voices online and in the White House drive hate and division, organizations like @ammwecofficial are building interfaith unity to combat antisemitism..." She expressed her satisfaction with meeting such organizations in Washington D.C.
