Rep. Lois Frankel, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 22nd district since 2013, shared several insights on her social media platform. The topics addressed range from international aid inefficiencies to domestic budgetary concerns.

The following day, February 13, 2025, she addressed fiscal policy by commenting on a recent budget proposal by House Republicans. According to Rep.

She further criticized it by stating that it "would drive up costs for health care and food for millions of Americans to provide more than $4 trillion in tax breaks to billionaire donors and big corporations." In contrast, she mentioned that @HouseDemocrats are advocating for what she described as a "better deal."
