Pleased to join SXSW International Breakfast. Always a great time to be in Austin, yet a very troubling time for American democracy. The approach of the new Administration in Washington is exactly the opposite of what has allowed us to achieve success here. (1/2)

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 22(source)

Trump seeks to destroy federal aid to education by transferring much of it to Health and Human Services like the $17.6 million in federal aid that IDEA provides to children with disabilities in TX-37. That way it can all be targeted as “welfare” for more and more future Republican cuts.

Trump says student loans, special needs programs will be moved to new departments

President Donald Trump said Friday that the SBA will take on student loans and HHS will take on special needs and nutrition efforts.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 21(source)

I won’t stop fighting to protect Social Security, your right to privacy, and the importance of an independent judiciary to require even the richest man in the world to comply with the law. (2/2)

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 21(source)

A federal judge rightly prohibited Musk from looking at Social Security records. Instead of protecting your privacy & that of every other citizen, Trump’s officials are threatening to shut down Social Security. Another attempt to intimidate any judge standing up to Trump/Musk’s many illegal acts.

Acting Social Security head consults with Justice Dept. on threat to close agency

Leland Dudek argues that a ruling blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team from access to sensitive taxpayer data could apply to all employees.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 21(source)

Trump, the Great Appeaser, set to wave yet another white flag of surrender to Putin and Xi by giving up our role as NATO's supreme allied commander and doing less in Japan. On national security he’s on a path to make America Last.

Trump admin considers giving up NATO command that has been American since Eisenhower

The move is being discussed as part of a possible restructuring of combatant commands that would help the Defense Department cut costs.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 21(source)

As Trump and his Republican loyalists attack wildlife in our national parks and waterways, I am pleased to receive another 100% from Defenders of Wildlife. We must continue to fight for biodiversity protections as Republicans seek to sell out our planet.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

The hundreds of messages I have received on this issue demonstrate that Austin, the only place I have ever called home, will never surrender. We stand together, fighting for every student’s right to succeed and against this illegal power grab. 10/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Because the Department of Education was established by statute enacted by Congress, Trump has no authority to shut it down by Executive Order. This is another attempt to overwhelm and wear down the American people. 9/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Trump's agenda, supported by Musk & Gov Abbott, is simple: starve our public schools—the foundation of our democracy—of resources that create well-informed citizens. Why? So it’s easier to sell their backward beliefs, peddle “alternative facts,” & secure a future where ignorance is a weapon. 8/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Yet Trump, out of touch with the lived experience of working families, seeks to cripple investment in both our students and our future workforce. 7/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

President Trump may claim to put America first, but this latest move makes it painfully clear: he is putting us last. In Texas alone, the Department provides over $580 million to support our workforce. 6/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

This isn’t just about policy—it’s about priorities. Abbott’s and Trump’s actions cater to the demands of billionaire donors to redirect these funds to finance private academies and trillions in tax breaks. 5/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

It’s so appropriate that Governor Abbott has joined President Trump for this announcement since both are undermining public education. Their attacks on federal support for education are furthered by their promotion of state and federal voucher schemes. 4/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

As a product of Austin public schools myself and as a father and grandfather of successful AISD students, I know the value dedicated educators bring to our community. Our public schools are vital for both individual opportunity and our continued economic promise. 3/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

This unlawful action doesn’t just skirt Congressional authority—it endangers support for the most vulnerable students/schools in Texas: 700,000 students w/disabilities, $140 million for bilingual learners & $1.8 billion in funding for Title I schools that serve over 3.6 million students. 2/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Today, Trump signed an Executive Order directing Secretary McMahon to take all necessary steps to dismantle the Department of Education, an agency that serves over 5.6 million students across 9,000 Texas K-12 schools. 1/10

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Trump/Musk eliminated a program tracking nearly 35,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia, calling it a “waste.” I'm demanding the Trump Admin, which has shown its willingness to separate children from families, reverse course and restore this program to help Ukrainians bring their kids home.

Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children

Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Trump's slash-and-burn approach to mass firings has put more military veterans out of a job than any other president in American history. Cutting our top performers in missile defense, healthcare, and other positions makes us less healthy and secure.

Veterans, top performers among those fired at DoD in first round of layoffs

“They are just indiscriminately firing people. There are no rules to the game,” a civilian employee who was laid off last week told Federal News Network.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 20(source)

Joining Liberty Ukraine Executive Director Tonya Levchuk and Ukrainian combat veteran and volunteer Constantantine Kalinovskiy, I again spoke in support of Ukraine at Saengerrunde Hall in Austin. Support for Ukraine is an investment in America's safety and security & that of the entire free world.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett@doggett.house.govMar 19(source)

The Social Security Administration was at a 50-year staffing low before Trump cuts. Now he wants to force Americans to go IN PERSON for assistance even as he fires thousands of workers/closes offices. Will any Republican stand up for Americans who earned this benefit, paying in month after month?

Social Security Will Require Online or In Person Identity Checks

The new rule would require people who want to make changes to first verify their identity online or in person.
