Happy Hour 183: Catching Up With Congressman Lloyd Doggett

U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett has been an elected fighter for Texas progressive people and causes for almost five decades, having become a member of the Texas Senate in 1973, an Associate Justice of the Texas Supreme Court in 1989, and a member of the U.S. House in 1994. Most recently, he's been notable as the first sitting federal official to have called for President Joe Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee, and has fought against H.R. 9495, a new piece of Republican legislation that would allow President Trump to single-handedly destroy non-profits like the ACLU, the NAACP, and yes, Progress Texas, simply for expressing views that are counter to Trump's MAGA plans. We appreciate Rep. Doggett for his years of service, which continue into a particularly precarious time for American democracy. Thanks for listening!
