Lois Frankel, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 22nd district since 2013, shared her views on several pressing issues through social media posts on March 5, 2025. Her statements addressed concerns about national security, international diplomacy, and economic policy.

In one post from that day, Frankel criticized recent actions involving law enforcement agencies. She stated that "Purging hundreds of FBI and DOJ agents who investigated the Jan 6 insurrection—career law enforcement officers, not political appointees—does not make us safer, more secure, or prosperous."

On international matters, Frankel expressed support for Ukraine amidst ongoing tensions with Russia. In a tweet posted shortly after her comments on law enforcement personnel, she remarked that "Russia invaded Ukraine. Not the other way around. Berating Ukraine’s leader for defending his country isn’t diplomacy—it’s a gift to Putin, a dictator. The United States stands with Ukraine."

Frankel also commented on economic strategies in another tweet from the same day. She asserted that "Mass layoffs won’t lower costs. Tariffs won’t lower costs. Tax breaks for billionaires won’t lower costs." These remarks highlight her stance against certain economic measures often debated in policy circles.
