Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) criticized the measure as a reward for the nuclear sector, which he said has a “record of miserable failures” when it comes to getting more reactor projects up and running.
“Instead of today’s measure, our focus should be on safe, healthy forms of energy instead of an industry that costs too much and poses too much danger to humans,” he said.
Members of the San Antonio Food Bank and Feeding Texas joined Rep. Lloyd Doggett to urge members of the Texas Congressional Delegation to reject President Donald Trump’s budget proposal . . . “I believe SNAP has been honored as a really successful anti-poverty program, and unlike some government programs, it is an extremely efficient program and it administers the assistance to make sure people have a good, healthy meal to eat in a way that is very cost-effective,” Doggett said.
“Another broken Trump promise seems to be in the making, with Medicare negotiation abandoned in favor of Big Pharma’s wish list,” Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), who co-chairs the Prescription Drug Task Force, told POLITICO. “In January, two weeks after declaring that drugmakers were ‘getting away with murder,’ Trump was cozying up to pharmaceutical executives at the White House. He should be using executive power now to bring down prices, not to promote more restrictive government-approved monopolies upon which Big Pharma relies.”
U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), who has been calling for an independent commission since November, said his Republican colleagues have more members willing to “cover up instead of to open up…and that’s where the role of these petitions becomes so very important.”
He continued: “The Trump administration will try to hide behind the bushes or behind the tweets, but the cover-up will be uncovered by people across this country who demand change. Together we can continue to resist.”

At one time, conservation was a conservative value, but repeated Republican denial of science means more disease, flooding, and extreme weather — more expensive disasters and lost lives and livelihoods. And beyond these climate …
“U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of San Antonio was among Democrats who likened Comey’s firing to Watergate. ‘This Nixonian dismissal is designed to obstruct further inquiry into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia,’ Doggett said in a statement. ‘It is long past time for my Republican colleagues to stop covering up and start exposing Trump …

“Abbott’s action is also getting criticism from lawmakers on Capitol Hill. U.S. Congressman Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin) also joined protesters outside the Governor’s Mansion Monday morning. “Immigration law is a federal matter. How it is and why it is that the state can suddenly come involved in the enforcement of immigration laws, I think, raises …
Austin Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat, panned the waivers as a “scam.”
“Once again insurers will be able to write into their policy fine print coverage limitations and exclusions that deny help when you most need it,” he said in a statement.
“But, unlike the rest of us, Levin, Greenberg and colleague Sarah Dohl had some specific ideas. Levin and Dohl had worked for Congressman Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, when the Tea Party launched in 2009, and they witnessed firsthand the effectiveness of that movement. They noted that Tea Party protests worked even in the context of a president who …
“Austin’s U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett might feel like the force is strong with Democrats on Friday after a GOP attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act – aka Obamacare – foundered, but he warned that the “Empire will strike back.” Doggett’s statement came just after U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he had …
