Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 37th district, has shared several tweets addressing various topics on January 31, 2025. Doggett, who has been in Congress since 1995 and previously served in the Texas Senate, used his platform to comment on cultural celebrations and political issues.

In a tweet posted at 14:11 UTC, Doggett extended his well-wishes for the Lunar New Year. He expressed joy in celebrating the Year of the Wood Snake with Amy Mok at her Asian American Cultural Center. "Wishing a happy, peaceful, prosperous Lunar New Year to all those who celebrate," he stated.

Later that day, at 18:21 UTC, Doggett criticized what he described as radical anti-immigration policies associated with Trump. He condemned the idea of sending armed immigration personnel into churches, hospitals, and schools. "Whether in a pew, a hospital bed, or a school desk," he argued these tactics are not about securing borders or removing criminals.

In another post made at 22:06 UTC, Doggett accused Trump of undermining environmental progress by firing independent EPA science advisors. He warned against replacing public servants with "subservient MAGA apologists" and emphasized that decisions should be based on science and data rather than ideology.
