Rep. Lois Frankel, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 22nd district, has been vocal about various issues on social media recently. Her posts reflect her stance on decisions affecting aid workers, foreign aid, and veteran affairs.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Frankel commented on a recent Supreme Court decision stating that "The SCOTUS decision is a temporary reprieve for aid workers, global health, & U.S. leadership." She emphasized it as a crucial check against what she described as the President's lawless assault on vital programs already signed into law. Frankel assured continued efforts by House Democrats to counteract illegal funding freezes.

Later that day, she reflected on her experiences with U.S. foreign aid during a trip to Kenya and Malawi in 2015. She shared these reflections after attending an event marking International Women's Day: "In 2015, I traveled to Kenya and Malawi with @CARE and saw U.S. foreign aid in action—from mothers gaining job skills to girls getting an education." Her participation reaffirmed her commitment to supporting such initiatives.

On March 6, 2025, Rep. Frankel expressed concern over plans impacting veterans' services: "As a mother of an Afghanistan and Iraq war Veteran, I’m appalled by Trump’s plan to cut 80,000 VA jobs—laying off doctors and nurses." She stressed the importance of protecting Veterans Affairs (VA) and fulfilling commitments to veterans.
