Rep. Lois Frankel, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 22nd district, has been active on social media discussing recent legislative efforts and concerns regarding public service employment. Her recent tweets address significant issues such as tax exemption for compensation from sexual harassment claims and job cuts affecting veterans.

On February 14, 2025, Rep. Frankel announced her involvement in introducing a bipartisan bill aimed at making compensation from sexual harassment and assault claims tax-exempt. She stated: "I introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill alongside @RepTenney, @gillibrandny, and @MarshaBlackburn to ensure compensation from sexual harassment and assault claims is tax-exempt."

In another tweet on the same day, she emphasized the importance of fair treatment for survivors of sexual harassment and assault under the law. She expressed concern over potential tax burdens faced by survivors who have endured significant trauma: "Survivors of sexual harassment and assault deserve fair treatment under the law."

Later that day, Rep. Frankel criticized job cuts implemented during the Trump Administration that affected over 1,000 veterans. She highlighted that among those terminated were disabled veterans and military spouses: "The Trump Admin’s reckless cuts to public servants left over 1,000 Veterans out of work last night."
