Jason Crow U.S. House of Representatives from Colorado's 6th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Rep. Jason Crow, a U.S. Congressman representing Colorado's 6th district since 2019, recently shared his views on social media regarding national security and the actions of private individuals in relation to government agencies. His statements reflect concerns about the impact of these actions on democracy and safety.
On February 2, 2025, Rep. Crow criticized an unnamed administration for its focus on personal power and grievances. He expressed concern that this obsession is making Americans less safe by undermining efforts dedicated to preventing famine, reducing conflict, combatting terrorism, and promoting democracy. "This is a wildly unhinged thing to say about people who have dedicated their lives to: -preventing famine -reducing conflict -combatting terrorism -promoting democracy The admins obsession with personal power and grievance is making Americans significantly less safe."
On February 3, 2025, Rep. Crow addressed the attempts by Elon Musk and his private employees to close down a congressional agency focused on preventing famine, countering terrorism, and promoting democracy. He emphasized the importance of Congress exercising its authority to prevent such actions from setting a precedent that could undermine congressional power in the future. "Musk and his private employees are trying to shutter an agency created and funded by Congress. An agency that prevents famine, counters terrorism & promotes democracy. If we let it happen now it won't stop. They are testing us. Congress must use its power or loose its power."
Later that day, Rep. Crow highlighted legal constraints on presidential authority concerning agency reorganization or modification without congressional approval. He accused former President Trump of violating these laws by attempting to dismantle an agency without proper legislative backing."3/ Once that law passed, Congress specifically stated that the President alone has no authority to modify or reorganize the Agency.The President can change policies and priorities at an agency but can't just destroy one.Trump is violating that law."
