Lloyd Doggett, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 37th district, has raised his concerns and sentiments through a series of recent tweets. Doggett, who has been in Congress since 1995, highlighted issues pertaining to international diplomacy, trade policies, and personal wishes on the occasion of Easter.

On April 19, 2025, Doggett addressed a change in the U.S. diplomatic landscape. He commented on the closure of the office that tracks information warfare from several international and terrorist entities. "Putin’s man in Washington continues to deliver more unilateral disarmament. Trump’s top “diplomat,” white nationalist Darren Beatie, closed the office tracking information warfare from China, Russia, Iran, and terrorist groups."

Later on April 19, Doggett turned his attention to domestic economic matters related to international trade. He discussed the implications of tariffs on imported goods, specifically coffee, indicating a financial strain caused by recent trade policies. "Enjoy a cup of coffee? Expect higher prices due to Trump's tariff tax since ~99% of coffee Americans drink is imported; we simply can't grow it here. Trump's trade war is straining Central Texans' budgets while small businesses become collateral damage."

On April 20, 2025, Doggett extended his personal wishes for the Easter holiday to his constituents and the nation, urging a spirit of peace and reflection. "Libby and I wish a peaceful and happy Easter to all who celebrate in Austin and throughout the nation! May it be a day filled with blessings, reflection, and gratitude."

Lloyd Doggett, born in 1946 in Austin, Texas, has developed a significant history of public service, having previously served in the Texas Senate. He holds degrees in law and education from the University of Texas at Austin.
