Mikie Sherrill, a U.S. Congresswoman representing New Jersey's 11th district, has been vocal on social media about various issues. Her recent tweets cover topics ranging from local celebrations of Women's History Month to national concerns about abortion rights and military conduct.

On March 26, 2025, Sherrill highlighted the celebration of Women’s History Month in Maplewood and South Orange. She noted that women in local leadership roles came together to read a proclamation declaring March as Women’s History Month. The event emphasized "the importance of teaching our children and future generations." "Maplewood and South Orange know how to celebrate Women’s History Month! Women in local leadership — past and present — came together to read a proclamation declaring March as Women’s History Month. They underscored the importance of teaching our children and future generations"

Later that day, Sherrill addressed abortion rights, expressing her stance against waiting until critical conditions arise for women to receive an abortion. She criticized President Donald Trump for distancing himself from a case related to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act's protections for emergency abortion care. "No woman should have to wait to be in critical condition to receive an abortion. I’m fighting back as President Donald Trump walks away from a case that would uphold the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act’s protections for emergency abortion care."

On March 27, 2025, Sherrill called for the resignation of Secretary Hegseth after he allegedly sent classified information via Signal regarding U.S. Military Command operations in the Middle East. She pointed out that details such as "date and time of operations," "timelines," and "movement of aircraft and personnel" are considered classified by military standards."Things the U.S. Military Command in the Middle East deems classified: • Date and time of operations • Timelines • Movement of aircraft and personnel So, what Sec. Hegseth sent via Signal was, in fact, classified. He should resign immediately."
