Rep. Lois Frankel

TSA agents deserve to be paid. Americans don't want to spend hours in line at the airport. I signed onto @rosadelauro measure to force a vote to reopen the Dept of Homeland Security--without new funding for ICE. We can end this shutdown as soon as Republicans join us.

From Nigeria to Ukraine and almost everywhere in between, UNHCR provides shelter and health services while protecting and dignifying millions of refugees and displaced people around the world. Consistent, flexible funding is vital to ensuring this work continues.

More than one million people in Zambia rely on HIV treatments. Lifesaving resources shouldn’t be used as a bargaining chip. nytimes.com/2026/03/16/hea…

There is no excuse for violence of any kind, including antisemitism. The Jewish people – individually or as a whole – should never be blamed for the actions of any government or military, including Israel’s.

RFK Jr. tried to skirt expert review, ignore science-backed research, and overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule. I’m grateful for this ruling, but we must keep fighting to protect the integrity of vaccines to keep Americans safe from preventable diseases.

I have been assured by Sheriff Bradshaw that appropriate precautions have been taken in our county.

The antisemitic attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan—one of the largest synagogues in the United States—is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. Thankfully, there are no reports of physical injuries inside the building. My thoughts are with the congregation and the entire community. I will continue to monitor the situation closely as more details emerge. Antisemitism and hate have no place in our country.

Trump promised a stronger economy. Instead, the U.S. lost 92,000 jobs month and unemployment is rising. Americans deserve leadership focused on creating good-paying jobs and strengthening our economy, not reckless policies that make the affordability crisis worse.

Last year we sent the WNBA a letter urging them to negotiate in good faith with the players union to reach a fair collective bargaining agreement. The season is right around the corner and no deal has been made. So we followed up. The future of women’s sports depends on the fair treatment of the athletes who make it possible.

Foreign assistance is not a handout. Support for humanitarian and development efforts worldwide are strategic investments in America’s national security and prosperity. In the year since President Trump dismantled USAID and gutted our foreign aid infrastructure, we have abandoned our allies, emboldened our adversaries, and put our children’s future at risk. nytimes.com/2026/02/08/opi…

“The resources we devote to democracy support are a fraction of what we spend when instability turns into war, mass displacement, or humanitarian crisis.”  🎬@RepLoisFrankel highlights how strategic, cost-effective investments in democracy assistance — through institutions like @NEDemocracy — protect our own national and economic security.

No better investment than the health of our mothers and grandmothers. Proud to partner with the Promise Fund to make sure the women of Palm Beach County remain healthy and cancer-free.

Last week, I joined @LakeWorthCRA to highlight $850K in federal funding I secured for its Attainable Housing Project. This investment will bring affordable housing to downtown Lake Worth. Since 2010, they’ve built 700+ units—lowering costs and strengthening our community.

On International Women’s Day, let’s be clear: women’s rights are human rights. And right now, those rights are being rolled back at home and abroad.  We have a moral responsibility to protect equality, dignity, and freedom—for every woman, everywhere.

I’d like to share a cherished moment. May Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memory be a blessing.

War is too serious a decision to be made by the President alone.   We cannot ignore the threat Iran poses, but the Constitution requires the President to receive authorization from Congress for sustained military force. Why I voted yes on today's war powers resolution:

One of Trump's few decisions I can fully agree with. Under the direction of Kristi Noem, ICE has become an abomination, brutalizing and killing American citizens, terrorizing communities, and completely disregarding the rule of law. Her firing was long overdue.

This is another step in the right direction. Congress voted for the DOJ to release the files. AG Bondi must do so. If we want justice for the survivors, accountability for the perpetrators, and assurance that this never happens again, we need the full truth.
