Lloyd Doggett, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 37th district, shared his views on recent political and security issues through a series of tweets. Doggett has been serving in Congress since 1995 after succeeding J.J. Pickle and previously served in the Texas Senate from 1973 to 1985.

On March 26, 2025, Doggett expressed his stance on Social Security fraud prevention, stating that it is "one of the most heavily monitored federal programs with a near 100% accurate payment record." He criticized figures such as Trump and Musk for allegedly living in a "fact-free alternate reality." "We’re all for stopping fraud, which is why Social Security is already one of the most heavily monitored federal programs with a near 100% accurate payment record."

Later that day, Doggett voiced support for military officers and veterans who called for the dismissal of Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz due to their actions potentially endangering troops. He accused Trump and his national security team of compromising classified information before military strikes. "I support the military officers and veterans calling my office demanding that Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz be fired for placing our troops in harm's way."

In another tweet posted on March 26, Doggett described what he called a "massively dumb security breach" under Trump's administration that endangered military lives. He outlined what he perceives as Trump's typical approach to such situations: making mistakes, lying without apology, blaming the press, relying on GOP silence, and attempting distraction. "This massively dumb security breach, which imperiled the lives of our military, follows the normal Trump approach:"
