Lloyd Doggett, a U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 37th District, has posted a series of tweets addressing several pressing issues on March 27, 2025. The tweets highlight his concerns about fiscal policies and public health interventions, reflecting significant challenges affecting his constituents and broader national interests.

In a tweet posted at 15:06 UTC, Doggett criticized the Republican Party for their fiscal management strategies. He stated, "Fiscally irresponsible Republicans insisted on government funding limp from one short-term resolution to another rather than approving annual appropriations. As a result, our City and others will miss out on millions I fought to secure for domestic violence survivors and more." This tweet highlights his concerns about the impact of short-term resolution funding on local programs for domestic violence survivors.

Later, at 17:40 UTC, Doggett expressed alarm over the influence of former President Trump on research funding. He tweeted, "All of us are endangered by alarming Trump interference in important UT research and elsewhere. After his groundbreaking COVID vaccine success, Dr. Jason McLellan’s funding to develop meds for multiple viruses is being cut. Taking 'a break' from infectious disease research means" indicating his worry about the discontinuation of crucial research efforts.

Finally, in a post at 20:57 UTC, Doggett voiced his concern about the broader consequences of funding cuts and dismissals within public health fields. He wrote, "More Americans will die from both current and future disease outbreaks because Trump and his appointees are dismantling our public health defenses through egregious funding cuts and the abrupt firing of thousands of health workers as well as the termination of lifesaving research". This tweet delves into potential public health repercussions tied to administrative actions.
