AURORA | Aurora Democratic Congressperson Jason Crow is behind a House bill that would extend through 2029 temporary immigration protections for Ukrainian nationals living in the United States.
Crow’s bill would extend Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Ukrainians currently in the U.S. The protections are scheduled to expire Oct. 19, 2026, according to a press statement from Crow.
Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), a former Army Ranger, will introduce a bill Friday to help the U.S. military continue developing new approaches to provide service members and veterans battlefield trauma care by learning lessons from conflict overseas.
Crow, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, will introduce the Cooperative Overseas Military Battlefield Advancement in Trauma (COMBAT) Care Act, which would authorize the defense secretary, in consultation with the secretary of State, to establish a joint training and education program with foreign militaries to study and learn from prior wars.
Northwest Aurora’s proposed flood-control work is tied to about $15.6 million in federal support under the Water Resources Development Act. The House passed the measure Tuesday by a 415-9 vote, but it still needs Senate approval. Even if approved, the authorization alone would not provide all the funding needed for construction.
House Democrats successfully passed a resolution directing President Donald Trump to end the Iran war for a third time, with three new Republicans breaking with the president from the usual four.
The resolution passed 220-204 with seven Republicans supporting the measure, three more than who backed the legislation in two previous votes. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Tom Barrett (R-MI), Warren Davidson (R-OH), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), along with new “yes” votes Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Zach Nunn (R-IA), broke with GOP leadership to support the measure.
With the Iran war approaching the six-month mark, nearly 50 Democratic members of Congress are demanding the Trump administration make public the true cost of the conflict and its impact on the American people.
“What was billed as a two-week operation is now a full-scale war that has lasted for over 150 days, cost over $37 billion, and claimed the lives of 18 servicemembers,” the House Democrats wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “At the same time, prices across the country have gone up significantly, placing the burden of this conflict on American families.”
DENVER — Colorado Congressman Jason Crow is demanding answers about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed in the Middle East during the conflict with Iran for over 260 days — a record.
Over 200 family members voiced concerns about food shortages, low hygiene supplies, and broken toilets that have led to mental health challenges among sailors and reports of multiple attempts to jump overboard.
Democrats from Colorado are urging U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to bring a floor vote on a measure to ban members of Congress, the president and vice president from trading stocks.
The letter signed by more than 30 House Democrats follows the July passage of the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would restrict members of Congress, their spouses and close family members from purchasing certain stocks, and require a public notice and waiting period prior to selling stocks.
The death threats arrived almost immediately.
WASHINGTON | The House on Thursday narrowly passed a resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, sending a warning to President Donald Trump for the second time as the war has escalated and the future of the conflict is increasingly uncertain.
