Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 37th district, has recently expressed strong opinions on a series of political issues through his social media presence. Doggett's educational background includes a BA and a JD from the University of Texas at Austin. His career in public service began in the Texas Senate from 1973 to 1985 before replacing J. J. Pickle in the U.S. Congress in 1995.

In a tweet dated March 28, 2025, Doggett criticized former President Donald Trump for allegedly breaking promises to the American people. He stated, "Trump promised he was on your side. He lied. His new attack on patriotic American civil servants and attempt to repeal their federal workers' rights is an affront to decades of hard-fought progress."

On March 29, 2025, Doggett paid tribute to Tony Padilla, noting his contribution to advocacy through the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans. Doggett remarked, "Honoring Tony Padilla, who passed away after a long battle with cancer. I met him decades ago as a railway worker and able advocate for working families. More recently, he continued advocacy through the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans. Always a source of good advice and good."

Further commentary from Doggett appeared on March 30, 2025, where he critiqued Trump's international policies. Doggett asserted, "Having failed to bring down prices, Trump attacks our longtime ally Denmark and makes a claim for Greenland as he has on Panama and Canada. Donald Trump determined to make Imperialism Great Again."
