Rep. Jason Crow, a U.S. Congressman representing Colorado’s 6th district, has recently taken to social media to express his concerns regarding the actions of former President Donald Trump. In a series of tweets posted on February 3, 2025, Rep. Crow outlines what he perceives as violations of law and potential threats to government agencies by the former president.

In one tweet from February 3, Rep. Crow highlights issues with the withholding of funds by the executive branch. He states: "Additionally, when the President withholds money Congress has allocated, he needs to explain it to Congress. Under the Impoundment Control Act, the President has to tell Congress what they are doing with appropriated funds and why. Trump is also violating this law."

Further emphasizing his stance against Trump's actions, another tweet posted on February 3 calls for public action: "Don’t let Trump destroy an important U.S. government agency unconstitutionally. He’s not a king. Don’t let him act like it. Join me in speaking out."

Crow elaborates on his concerns about specific agencies in another tweet from the same day: "He’s starting with USAID because many Americans don’t know what it does or why it exists. But it plays a huge role in helping people in need overseas, and is only about 1% of the entire USG budget." This highlights his apprehension about potential cuts or changes to USAID's operations under Trump's influence.
