Rep. Lois Frankel, representing Florida’s 22nd district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets discussing her recent activities and concerns. As an active participant in legislative matters, Frankel uses social media to communicate with constituents and express her views on policy issues.

On February 10, 2025, Rep. Lois Frankel announced a telephone town hall aimed at engaging directly with her constituents to address their thoughts and questions about the new Administration and Congress's actions. She encouraged participation through multiple channels: "Happening now—I’m hosting a telephone town hall to hear directly from you and address your thoughts and questions on the recent actions of the new Administration and Congress."

Two days later, on February 12, 2025, she criticized cuts to educational investments during a Labor, HHS, and Education Appropriations Democrats hearing. In her tweet, she stated that such reductions undermine the commitment to student success by affecting community colleges' federal support: "Gutting investments that ensure every student gets a quality, accessible education means abandoning our commitment to their success."

On the same day, Rep. Frankel condemned the Global Gag Rule for its impact on women's health globally. She emphasized how this policy restricts U.S. global health funding for international organizations that provide abortion services or reproductive health care information using their own resources: "The Global Gag Rule is a cruel attack on women’s health; it blocks U.S. global health funding to international organizations that use their own money to provide abortion services or even simply share reproductive health care information with their patients."
