KEY POINTS

  • •Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) announced plans to force an expulsion vote against Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) next week.
  • •A 59-page House Ethics report found substantial evidence supporting allegations of laundering a $5 million government contract overpayment into her 2022 campaign.
  • •Expulsion requires two-thirds of the House; Democratic leadership is expected to oppose the measure, making her removal unlikely for now.

Meet Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.), whose political platform apparently includes starring in a $5 million government contract laundering scheme with her brother—Netflix, please call! House Ethics dropped a 59-page report claiming 'substantial evidence' of not just campaign finance violations but a whole fiesta of federal spaghetti: oversized donations, volunteer-rule violations, and earmark favors for pals. Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) isn't laughing — he plans a forced expulsion vote next week, knowing it’s going to take two-thirds of the House and probably a miracle to eject Sheila. Meanwhile, she confidently denies wrongdoing and keeps reminding everyone her main job is delivering for Florida constituents... whatever that means in 2026.
