Pleased to secure $2 million in federal funding for the Belfast Bridge and Trail. Now the City needs to move forward with urgency to turn these federal dollars into this long-awaited connection between Windsor Park and Mueller. Thanks to “Window on Windsor” for sharing the good news.

[2/2] A federal badge is not a license to shoot. ICE investigating ICE is not an investigation. My interview on CNN this afternoon:

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 21/09/2026
[1/2] An ICE agent shot a man here in Austin. While we do not yet have all of the facts, we do have the facts about ICE. ICE is eager to fulfill Trump’s deportation quota by rounding up any immigrant that it can find, including those who are making a real contribution to our community.

Trump threatens to cut off trade with 99 countries from whom we buy more goods than we sell. Such a cut off would only intensify pain for Americans and worsen our economy.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 14/09/2026
Desperately trying to reverse his economic failures that have harmed so many families, Trump is trying to force his own Federal Reserve appointee to cut interest rates when Trumpflation may force the Fed to increase rates.

As co-chair of the Friends of Wales Caucus, I was pleased to welcome Heledd Fychan, Minister for Culture to Washington for a special Welsh symphonic performance—a gift in honor of America’s 250th birthday. Thanks to @WalesinNA for our enduring friendship.

Yet another outrageous narrow-minded Greg Abbott proposal to weaken our public schools—banning foreign teachers. As Marble Falls exemplifies in this short video interview, these teachers fill vital roles. The real threat to Texas public school students is not foreign; it’s Greg Abbott.

In today’s Ways and Means Trade hearing, I’m questioning the Trump Administration’s secret deals for critical minerals—and the corruption and environmental devastation enabled around the world.

Trump is building and building and building—not a better future for our families nor an affordable future, but building endless tributes to himself. See some of what he had to show off to ABC.

I like my new shirt, reminding me of our Bike Bash, the kids biking to school daily, and how wonderful Nan Clayton Elementary is. Thank you, Charley & Courtney.

[2/2] Students got to test the route they’ll take to school, building confidence and community along the way. Fun morning joining these young cyclists—and seeing firsthand how safer streets can help our kids get where they need to go. My longtime friend Nan would be so proud of this great school.

[1/2] Great to join the Nan Clayton Principal Karen McCollum, event organizer Amy Chidester, my former staffer Courtney Toretto and her 2d grader, Charley for the Bike Bus Bash! Saluting PTA President Ashley Aarons for pedaling the Cardinal mascot and her leadership for public education.

On Ukraine's 35th Independence Day, Ukrainians are still fighting to defend their homeland from Putin's criminal invasion. Their courage will outlast his tyranny. I will continue working to overcome Trump's refusal to provide Ukraine needed support. Slava Ukraini!

The Trump regime continues working to protect their well-connected cronies—now hiding important consumer complaints concerning abuses by banks, loan servicers, and other financial services. Powerful special interests are shielded while consumers are left hung out to dry.

Trump’s endless war is draining taxpayer dollars, our weapons stockpile, and the ability to keep Americans safe. The results so far? Higher prices on just about everything, lives lost, and an even more hardline Iranian regime intact with unprecedented control of the Straits of Hormuz.
1199
Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 19/08/2026
Just as he ignores the Constitution and Congressional authority to declare war—treating both as annoying traffic cones that can be trampled—Trump dismisses the consequences of his reckless, endless war in Iran and the impact of a 9-month Naval deployment on our servicemembers and military families.

As families struggle to make ends meet under Trump’s illegal tariff taxes and draconian cuts to SNAP food assistance, community organizations are stepping up in hopes that Americans don’t go hungry.

Trump is using your tax dollars to give his abusive ICE agents a new tool for more brutality: electric shock gloves. Hardly a shock? Every single House Republican voted for more money with no limitations for ICE.

Considering home remodeling, newly constructed home, or even minor work? Thanks to Trump tariff taxes, expect to pay more, since lumber prices have reached the highest in four years.

Trump has erected covered fences to hide the drained reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial, now reduced to a long strand of gray—the product of a no-bid contract costing taxpayers millions, yet still failing to satisfy a costly Trump whim.

Trump and Musk promised $2 trillion in savings. Instead, the Department of Government Evisceration delivered lies concerning savings and erratic policies and mass layoffs that harmed consumers and did nothing to help taxpayers.

While working families struggle to afford gas, groceries, and other goods, giant companies benefit from new Trump tax breaks and seek approval for even more market power through multi-billion dollar deals from a regime that prioritizes Wall Street over Main Street.

More doctor’s appointments, but fewer vaccines. Trump’s new vaccine order is a prescription for more measles and more sick children. Once again, science rejected in favor of right-wing, conspiracy theorist dogma.

Following an urgent call that the Trump regime would blast Mariscal Mountain to build an unnecessary patrol road 1,700 feet above one of the least trafficked sections of the border, I led my colleagues in demanding a pause to construction until we receive a real explanation.

[2/2] As the Supreme Court ruled in recently striking down Trump’s last attempt: “Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights—to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.”

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 09/08/2026
[1/2] Continuing his effort to circumvent our Constitution and the courts, Trump seeks to undermine one of the most basic tenets of our democracy.

Iran has Trump by the Hormuz. His reckless war has closed off a critical shipping route that was previously open and free. No relief in sight as Americans pay the price for Trump weakly yielding to Netanyahu.

As measles, dengue, and other diseases spread, along with a cyclospora food outbreak, Trump focuses on spreading more anti-science conspiracy theories that undermine public health. Vaccines save lives, Trump endangers them.

Troubling reports from Big Bend revealing the Trump Regime has begun construction in Big Bend National Park. Your voice has power in stopping so much of this wrongdoing. Continue to call for Trump and his Republican enablers to provide explanation, not destruction.

[3/3] Meanwhile, president appeals to overturn a court’s rejection of the collusion and begins using taxpayer dollars to reward his allies. Just another week in the fantastical place called Trumpworld.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 05/08/2026
[2/3] The attorney, appointed acting Attorney General, insists orally to Senate that he’s stopping this wrongdoing, while refusing to provide any written guarantee.

[1/3] Movie script rejected as too fantastical! A president colludes with his recent criminal defense attorney to access almost $2 billion to reward his allies and obtain total immunity for his personal unpaid taxes.

Saddened to learn that this morning Susan Dawson lost her long struggle with cancer. Decades ago, I met Susan as a successful young entrepreneur in Austin’s emerging tech sector.

[2/2] The chief executive of Community Health Systems noted “As gas prices go up, that has a pretty significant impact on disposable income for those households, and health care seems to be one of the first things that people will delay or at least attempt to delay if they can.”

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 04/08/2026
[1/2] Trading Obamacare for Trump Nothingcare only costs taxpayers more as families lose access to preventative health care and seek more expensive emergency care at hospitals. Trump’s tariff taxes and reckless wars add to the burden.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 03/08/2026
Like tyrants everywhere, Trump remains intent on censoring every news media that does not praise him. America without an independent press is America without democracy.

[2/2] Trump’s phony Board of Peace deal was rejected by Israel’s National Security Minister as “not acceptable” while insisting that “targeted killings in Gaza must continue.”

[1/2] Another misleading claim to distract from his failures in the foolish Iranian war— just the latest broken promise of relief for Palestinians.

Todd Blanche, Trump‘s recent criminal defense attorney and nominee for Attorney General, declared death of the $1.8 billion slush fund created through his collusion.

[2/2] Now that Iran is apparently retaliating with cyberattacks on water systems in multiple states, Trump has the perfect answer: “I think Minnesota is behind it.“ Blame the victims, not his reckless war, which is making families less safe while they are forced to pay more for most everything.
01710
Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 01/08/2026
[1/2] Before launching his foolish assault on Iran, Trump was advised that the Strait of Hormuz could be closed and America could be hit by cyber attacks.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett @doggett.house.gov · 01/08/2026
The only thing Trump wants America to remember is himself. Like other authoritarians, Trump is working to erase our Nation’s history and replace cultural icons with gaudy, self-adulating monuments.

The rose-colored glasses are slipping off as Trump supporters realize he has broken all of his promises to lower prices and end forever wars.

Trump has fenced off Lafayette Square across from the White House, denying access to a public park long known as the site of celebrations, protests, and tourists taking photographs. Fencing off the public: fencing himself off from reality.
