Rep. Lois Frankel, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Florida's 22nd district, has recently shared her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. Her comments reflect concerns over public service employment, community engagement, and healthcare policy.

On March 19, 2025, Rep. Frankel expressed her disapproval of recent job cuts affecting public servants like Donna at USAID. She emphasized the importance of their work in preventing conflict and promoting democracy abroad as a means to maintain national safety and prosperity. "For years, Donna worked at USAID to prevent conflict and promote democracy abroad—work that keeps us safe by addressing crises before they reach our shores." She criticized the decision to fire thousands of dedicated workers, stating it does not contribute to making the nation safer or more prosperous.

The following day, March 20, 2025, Rep. Frankel thanked constituents for attending her town hall meeting earlier in the week. She acknowledged their concerns regarding actions taken by the Trump Administration and assured them of her continued advocacy in Congress for community priorities. "Thank you to everyone who came to my town hall this week."

Later on March 20th, she addressed proposed Republican budget cuts targeting Medicaid, highlighting its critical role for families like Sarah’s who rely on it for essential care due to severe disabilities. "For millions of families like Sarah’s, losing Medicaid is unthinkable—it’s the only way her son...can get the care he needs." Rep. Frankel condemned these proposals as detrimental while benefiting wealthy donors with tax breaks.
