Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 37th district, has recently expressed his views on national security and social security through a series of tweets. Doggett, who has been serving in Congress since 1995 after replacing J.J. Pickle, also previously served in the Texas Senate from 1973 to 1985.

On March 21, 2025, Doggett criticized former President Donald Trump for his approach to international relations. In a tweet posted at 14:51 UTC, he remarked: "Trump, the Great Appeaser, set to wave yet another white flag of surrender to Putin and Xi by giving up our role as NATO's supreme allied commander and doing less in Japan. On national security he’s on a path to make America Last."

Later that day, at 21:05 UTC, Doggett addressed legal actions involving Elon Musk and Social Security records. He stated: "A federal judge rightly prohibited Musk from looking at Social Security records. Instead of protecting your privacy, Trump’s officials threaten to shut down Social Security. Another attempt to intimidate any judge standing up to Trump/Musk’s illegal acts."

Following this tweet, Doggett reaffirmed his commitment to protecting individual rights and maintaining judicial independence at 21:05 UTC with another post: "I will not stop fighting to protect Social Security, your right to privacy, and the importance of an independent judiciary that requires even the richest man in the world to comply with the rule of law."
