Rep. Jason Crow, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Colorado's 6th district since 2019, has been vocal on various issues through his recent tweets. He replaced Mike Coffman and has served as a representative for several years. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Crow is an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin and the University of Denver.

On February 6, 2025, Rep. Crow emphasized the importance of foreign aid by stating that it is not charity but rather a strategic tool used by USAID to counter terrorism, promote democracy, and prevent conflicts. According to him, these efforts help avoid sending American troops overseas for wars. "Foreign aid is NOT charity."

Later that day, he criticized Senator Marco Rubio's change in stance regarding USAID funding under different administrations. Initially supportive of increasing the budget during President Biden's term, Rubio now seems to align with former President Trump and Elon Musk in eliminating it. Crow expressed his opposition to these actions alongside his colleagues as they believe such measures weaken America. "Then, Senator Marco Rubio asked President Biden to *increase* the USAID budget."

In another tweet from February 6, 2025, Rep. Crow addressed concerns from constituents about former President Trump's decision to grant billionaires access to personal data and classified information without accountability or oversight. He assured them of his continued efforts towards ensuring accountability in this matter."Hundreds of Coloradans have called me this week..."
