WASHINGTON | Making his first appearance before Congress since the Trump administration went to war in Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced withering questioning from skeptical Democrats Wednesday over a costly conflict being waged without congressional approval.
The war has cost $25 billion so far, according to Pentagon numbers presented to the House Armed Services Committee during the contentious hearing that was ostensibly focused on the administration’s 2027 military budget proposal, which would boost defense spending to a historic $1.5 trillion.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), co-chair of the British-American Parliamentary Group, released the following statement on King Charles III’s visit to Congress:
“The United Kingdom is one of our nation’s strongest allies. Our soldiers fought together during World War II to defend democracy against fascism. We built one of the strongest defense alliances as founding members of NATO. And when America was attacked on September 11th, the United Kingdom answered the call and fought alongside me and other American service members in Iraq and Afghanistan against terrorism.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), a former paratrooper and Army Ranger who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and House Armed Services Committee, is calling for an investigation into the deaths of the six servicemembers who were tragically killed during an Iranian attack in Kuwait on March 1, 2026. Crow is also demanding that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth explain how they’re enhancing protections for all servicemembers as the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate.
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., a former Army Ranger who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, has blasted the Trump administration over reports that the government plans to send more than 1,000 Afghans who assisted the United States’ war effort to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The move, first reported by The New York Times, comes after President Donald Trump halted the U.S. resettlement program last year. The pause left about 1,100 Afghans at Camp As Sayliyah, a former U.S. military base outside Doha, Qatar, in limbo despite a majority of them already being approved for resettlement.
According to the Times:
WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) introduced bipartisan legislation that would allow families to keep their pets in public housing.
The Pets Belong With Families Act would prohibit overly broad restrictions against dogs based on breed, size, or weight, allowing families to keep their pets in public housing. The bill would also place limitations on pet deposits, preventing financial penalties against families with pets.
WASHINGTON — Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO) have introduced a congressional resolution recognizing the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Day of Service and remembering the victims of the Columbine High School shooting twenty-seven years ago.
On the annual Columbine Day of Service, Americans are encouraged to honor and remember the lives lost at Columbine High School by doing good and giving back to their communities. In 2024, over 1,600 participants across six states and ten countries participated in sixty projects to better their communities.
At recess, before school, after school, even on the weekends, Littleton Public Schools’ (LPS) playgrounds are filled with life, children swing, play and make new friends. For some kids, accessibility needs can make parts of playgrounds just out of reach. However, LPS is working to change that — with a little help from federal funding.
This year, LPS received $1 million in one-time federal funding, with help from Representative Jason Crow. The funding will be used to make the district’s elementary school playgrounds more accessible, ensuring all students get a chance to play.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — Twenty-seven years after the tragedy at Columbine High School, students and staff are focused on kindness.
More than 1,200 Columbine students signed up to help out around the community as part of their 10th annual Day of Service Monday.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), a former paratrooper and Army Ranger who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement in response to his vote blocking a long-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA):
“Donald Trump and his administration have shown no respect for following the law. From deporting American citizens, to raiding election offices, to sending the Justice Department after their perceived political opponents, they have proven they are willing to weaponize the government for their own corrupt means.
As more U.S. troops, ordered up weeks ago, arrive in the Mideast, several members of Colorado’s legislative leadership have called on Congress to act, as the “War of Choice” against Iran, by President Donald Trump continues to foment chaos around the globe.
Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Congressman Jason Crow (D-CO), members of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, released the following statement urging both chambers of Congress to support a War Powers Resolution to end President Donald Trump’s reckless, costly war with Iran:
“As we’ve said from the start, Congress must do its constitutional duty to stop President Trump’s dangerous and unauthorized war.
