Lloyd Doggett, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 37th district, shared several tweets on February 9, 2025, addressing topics ranging from achievements in technology to concerns over political actions affecting science and the judiciary.

On February 9, 2025, Doggett celebrated young innovators by "Recognizing our talented 2024 Congressional App Challenge winners and runners-up at @CapitalFactory." He highlighted the work of Yuegelica Yeong and Harshadha Chaganti from Westwood High School for creating Homonium, an AI-powered legal aid platform aimed at providing free legal assistance.

In another tweet on the same day, Doggett criticized former President Donald Trump’s actions against scientific data management by "Continuing his assault on science & health." He mentioned Trump's order to remove CDC data related to contraceptives and expressed concern about potential GOP goals regarding birth control access and abortion bans.

Later that day, Doggett addressed issues related to the judiciary by "After initial litigation losses for their illegal actions," referring to efforts by Trump administration figures like Vance and Musk to challenge court orders and judges. He emphasized the need for resistance against these actions which he described as steps toward tyranny.
