Lloyd Doggett, a seasoned member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 37th district since 1995, has recently voiced his opinions on various national and international issues through social media posts. With a long-standing career in politics, Doggett continues to engage with current events and policy matters.
On May 16, 2025, Doggett criticized former President Trump’s proposed legislation in a tweet, stating that “Trump’s ‘one big beautiful bill’ failed in our Budget Committee.” He further remarked that even some members of the GOP recognized it as “an ugly lie atop a mountain of lies and dangerous trillions of additional national debt.” He noted that there would be another attempt next week and assured readiness to oppose it.
Later the same day, he commented on economic impacts related to tariffs imposed by Trump. In his tweet, he stated, “Walmart says shoppers will pay more because of Trump’s tariffs,” highlighting how local small businesses might suffer due to their inability to manage costs like larger retail giants.
On May 17, 2025, Doggett addressed international concerns regarding Russia’s actions in Ukraine. In a tweet, he accused Russian President Putin of abducting Ukrainian children and concealing them within Russia’s adoption system. He criticized Trump for terminating funding meant to track these kidnappings and expressed commitment alongside over fifty colleagues to rectify this issue through congressional action.
Doggett was born in Austin, Texas in 1946 and currently resides there. His educational background includes both undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.
