Rep. Lois Frankel

Turning our treasured Everglades into an inhumane prison camp is cruel and un-American. I’m proud to join Florida House Democrats to block DHS from building or operating any immigration detention facilities within or near the Everglades, including Alligator Alcatraz.

Yesterday we debated our foreign affairs budget, and Republicans are still pushing their anti-woman agenda. They want to ban abortion and make it harder to prevent pregnancies in the first place. Really? I supported an amendment to restore access to care...and some common…

Thanks @RepLoisFrankel for highlighting Africa's potential - and thanks to @MarioDB and the entire House Appropriations Committee for their support!

By 2050, Africa will be home to a quarter of the world’s population. Will we be at the table as partners, or let China steer the ship? Proud to pass a bipartisan amendment to ensure strategic, sustained U.S. partnership with Africa into the future.

I wish I could support a bipartisan budget that reflects America’s leadership. Instead, we’re left with a reckless GOP plan to slash aid, ignore Congress, and abandon diplomacy. This isn’t strength, it’s retreat. And it undermines our own self-interests.

We cannot bomb our way to peace, drone our way to stability, or retreat our way to safety. @AppropsDems and I are fighting for a foreign policy budget that strengthens diplomacy and development to keep America safe, strong, and prosperous. Tune in: youtube.com/watch?v=lQnpl1…

Another week, another reckless rollback from Trump’s Admin. This time, proposing the elimination of minimum wage standards for millions of home care workers, threatening care many seniors rely on. I feel like a broken record, but I’ll say it again: what are they thinking?

This looks a lot like waste, fraud, & abuse to me... The Administration must reverse this decision to save lives & taxpayer dollars. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Turning our Everglades into state-sponsored cages puts decades of environmental protections, tribal sovereignty, and public health at risk. And it costs $450M a year. Are you kidding me? We need bipartisan immigration reform, not political stunts wasting taxpayer money.

ICYMI: Last week, Republicans passed a funding cut that pulls kids out of school, cuts access to contraception, and slashes resources for farmers while giving China and Russia more influence. It hands our spending power to Trump. That’s autocracy, not democracy. I voted NO.

The Trump Admin is set to destroy millions worth of food and family planning supplies in the name of cutting "waste, fraud, and abuse." I introduced a bill with @RepGregoryMeeks & @RepGraceMeng to stop this cruel, real waste of taxpayer dollars and deliver aid to those in need.

Representative Casello was a kind, dedicated public servant who made South Florida and all of his communities better. My thoughts are with his loved ones. May his memory be a blessing.

House Republicans and the Trump administration are cutting funding for Sesame Street--a show that’s taught generations of children about kindness, empathy, and friendship. Maybe they should’ve tuned in! Our kids deserve better.

My deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Saif Musallet, an American citizen from my home state of Florida, who was tragically and senselessly killed in the West Bank. I join those urging the Israeli government to conduct a swift and thorough investigation and…

Republicans' package of funding cuts will not lower costs for American families or shrink the deficit. But it will make the world more dangerous—and make our country less safe, less secure, less prosperous, and less respected in the world. Why I voted no:

I led Florida Democrats in sponsoring the No Cages in the Everglades Act to defund Trump's lawless, inhumane internment camp and ensure oversight at ICE facilities nationwide. This place needs to be shut the hell down — and Republicans need to be held accountable.

Jeffrey Epstein was a monstrous serial abuser of young girls for years. The slap-on-the-wrist deal he received in Palm Beach County—and the way his survivors were kept in the dark throughout the legal process—was a miscarriage of justice. They deserve full transparency and…

This bill doesn’t just reduce funding—it marks a dangerous turn toward indifference, isolation, and the betrayal of our global responsibilities. It heads to the House today, where I'll be speaking out against it.

Happy birthday to my dear friend and colleague, @WhipKClark! 🎂🎁🎉 From the Massachusetts State Legislature to U.S. House leadership, you have always been an unwavering advocate for women, children, and families. Our country is a better place thanks to you!
