Lloyd Doggett, currently serving in the United States Congress representing Texas’ 37th district, took to social media to express his views on recent economic and political developments. Doggett, who has been a member of Congress since 1995 and served in the Texas Senate prior, addressed a range of issues in his recent online posts.
On April 4, 2025, Doggett commented on the economic downturn, stating, "As markets crash (biggest single drop since March 2020 from COVID), as grocery prices rise, as trillions of dollars are knocked off the value of the companies with fears of a recession, all you hear from Republicans is silence." He noted that bipartisan cooperation might offer solutions, adding, "If only a few Republicans worked with Dems, we..." suggesting a need for collaboration to address these challenges.
Later on the same day, Doggett directed criticism towards former President Trump's trade policies, linking them with increasing automotive prices. He stated, "Trump is single-handedly raising prices on new/used cars with his trade war. While Texas has a major Toyota facility in San Antonio, many of the parts they use come from Japan." He expressed his opposition to what Mike Pence referred to as "the largest tax hike in US history," indicating concerns about economic impact.
In a lighter note, on April 5, 2025, Doggett offered his support to the Texas Women's Basketball team. He wished them well for their upcoming game, posting, "Good luck to @TexasWBB tonight as they take on South Carolina for a spot in the championship game. Texas Fight!" This tweet reflected his encouragement for local sports teams and events.
