Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 37th district, has recently voiced concerns over several policies associated with the Trump/Musk administration. Through a series of tweets on June 3, 2025, Doggett highlighted his apprehensions regarding aviation safety, international aid reductions, and national fiscal policies.
In a tweet posted at 15:35 UTC, Doggett criticized the administration’s approach to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), stating “The Trump/Musk administration has taken a wrecking ball to the FAA, and our skies are much less safe for it.” He cited an internal assessment suggesting that Musk’s influence might leave the FAA unable to fulfill its regulatory duties.
Later in the day at 17:08 UTC, Doggett addressed cuts to USAID under what he describes as “lawless policies” by Trump and Musk. He noted that these actions “undermine American soft power and cost lives,” referencing an analysis from Boston University’s Impact Counter that links these policy changes to significant mortality rates globally.
At 18:40 UTC, Doggett commented on financial legislation backed by Elon Musk. He remarked on Musk’s own admission of flaws within “the one big beautiful bill,” critiquing its potential impact on national debt and describing it as a “Republican monstrosity.”
Lloyd Doggett has been serving in Congress since 1995 after succeeding J.J. Pickle. Prior to this role, he was part of the Texas Senate from 1973 until 1985. Born in Austin in 1946, Doggett holds both undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.
