Lloyd Doggett, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 37th district, shared his views on various educational and political issues through a series of tweets on February 11, 2025. His posts addressed topics ranging from local education advocacy to broader concerns about public education funding and privacy issues related to cryptocurrency.

In a tweet posted at 14:23 UTC, Doggett expressed support for three Vandegrift High School sophomores advocating for the continuation of the International Baccalaureate diploma program. He commended their efforts and urged the Leander School Board to find solutions. "Saluting Aurora, Kevin, and Serena, Vandegrift High School sophomores advocating to maintain the International Baccalaureate diploma program, which has been valuable for so many students."

Later that day at 16:24 UTC, Doggett criticized former President Trump and Governor Abbott's approaches to public education in Texas. He highlighted concerns over Abbott's voucher scheme, which he claimed would benefit less than two percent of Texas' public school children while wasting taxpayer dollars. "As Trump seeks to undermine public ed, Gov. Abbott is defunding & destabilizing TX public schools."

In another tweet posted at 18:20 UTC, Doggett voiced his opposition to what he described as an unlawful scheme involving Elon Musk's cryptocurrency DOGE. He warned that this could threaten essential support systems for American families by compromising privacy through unauthorized access to sensitive data such as Social Security numbers and health care records. "Musk's DOGE, better named 'Dodge,' for dodging the law, accountability and Congress..."
