Rep. Jason Crow, serving Colorado’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, expressed his concerns about recent policy directions of the Trump administration and the Republican Party via a series of tweets on April 17, 2025. Crow, originally from Madison, Wisconsin, who also holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Denver, used his platform to address issues impacting his constituents and the nation.

In a tweet posted at 2:04 PM UTC, Crow critiqued the Trump administration's deportation policies, questioning "In the name of 'efficiency’, how many innocent Americans is the Trump administration willing to mistakenly deport?". Crow urged individuals to consider the impact on families who might be wrongfully deported, stating, "America, this is not who we are."

Later, at 3:12 PM UTC, Crow discussed the potential impacts of "Cutting Medicaid will hurt Colorado families." He noted that "One in four people in our community rely on Medicaid," and he voiced his opposition to Republican proposals to cut these services, expressing gratitude to "@GovofCO for your advocacy" in protecting healthcare access.

At 5:15 PM UTC, Crow reflected on his own working-class roots, emphasizing the values of fairness and opportunity in a tweet: "The people I grew up with don’t want the government telling them how to live their life." Instead, he advocated for a "level playing field and the opportunity to have a better life," suggesting that these are the principles Democrats should uphold.

Jason Crow, who previously replaced Mike Coffman in Congress, has been an active voice for his constituents in Colorado’s 6th district, speaking on key issues such as immigration, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
