I didn't realize it at the time, but what happened on September 11th would completely change the trajectory of my life.

Very quickly, America was a nation at war. I was angry about us being attacked, and I wanted to do my part. I wanted to fight back.

I was unwilling to let other people go and fight for me. I grew up in a working class family, and I wasn't going to have other working class kids go and bear the burden on my behalf.

I was a senior in college on 9/11. I had just started the last year of my ROTC. I had a National Guard contract, so I was going to be commissioned in the National Guard as an officer. After the September 11th attacks, I went to my ROTC unit commander and asked for a transition to an active duty contract. Less than a year later, I was an infantry officer going through all the training and getting ready to go to war. I would deploy three times to the Middle East, and end up completing three combat tours, first in Iraq as a paratrooper, and then in Afghanistan as an Army Ranger.

Later, my views changed about what “fighting back” actually looks like, and how to do that the right way versus the wrong way. But at the time, that's what it meant to me.

My time in the military still guides my belief in service today. Now, as a Member of Congress, I have a duty and obligation to keep our nation safe and protect our servicemembers. I take my oath seriously and believe there is no higher calling than service to one’s country.

Americans want cheaper healthcare, not endless Middle East wars.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

At the same time you can't afford healthcare or fill up your gas tank, Trump is focused on destroying our nation's memorials and building monuments to himself.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Pete Hegseth is covering up the deaths of American servicemembers and contractors.

It’s a betrayal of the men & women who have served and sacrificed for our country.

I’m leading a new bill to prevent the Pentagon from manipulating government data on troop casualties.

The President says he is going to ban CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House.

He’s trampling on our Constitution and the freedom of the press.

His corruption is staggering–and his attempts to cover it up won’t work.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

No more forever wars.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

There’s no plan. No strategy.

The President started a war with Iran that he doesn’t know how to win or get us out of.

Americans are paying the price every day.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Congress has a responsibility to act on AI.

Instead of voting and debating on proper guardrails, Speaker Johnson sent us home early.

AI should benefit all of society—not just enrich big corporations or the elite.

We should go back into session to take action.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Always a great time seeing my friends from VFW Colorado in our nation’s capital!

Our nation makes a promise to take care of our vets when they come home. I’m fighting to ensure we live up to that promise.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Trump & elites love to bang the war drums—and then send someone else's kids to do the fighting.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

The climate crisis is real and deserves urgent attention.

Yet Trump and Republicans are rewarding polluters that are harming our health & environment.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Republicans just sent Congress home until November.

Wars are raging abroad. Gas prices near record highs.

Yet they can’t be bothered to vote on bills to make life easier for you.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Americans do not support this reckless, unlawful war in Iran.

I won’t stop fighting to end this conflict.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Interest rates are up. Gas prices are at record prices. Working people can’t afford groceries.

Donald Trump’s tariffs and foreign wars have made life more expensive.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The Federal Reserve has HIKED INTEREST RATES by 25 basis points for the first time in years as inflation continues to surge.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Speaker Johnson just canceled votes—again.

That means House Republicans won’t have votes for the next two months!

No action to lower costs, fight corruption, or end the Iran war.

Congressional Republicans are doing NOTHING to make life easier for you.

[Joe Khalil @JoeKhalilTV]

BREAKING- the House cancels tomorrow votes and will begin its recess early. After tonight, the House won’t return until after the November midterm elections

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Trump campaigned on stopping endless wars.

As President, he’s done the opposite–starting new conflicts.

He turned his back on the American people and his promises.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Big news—the House just passed my War Powers Resolution to end the reckless war in Iran.

I’ll keep fighting & forcing votes to hold Trump accountable and stop the endless cycle of conflict in the Middle East.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

Trump is destroying the Kennedy Center because he can't put his name on it.

The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people.

It's a living memorial to a president who understood service & sacrifice—something our narcissistic President will never comprehend.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

The Iran war has cost taxpayers at least $38 billion.

That’s money being spent on new forever wars in the Middle East—instead of roads, schools, and cheaper healthcare here at home.

I’m forcing another vote today in Congress to end this reckless conflict.

[Joe Gould @reporterjoe]

BREAKING: The Iran war has cost the US nearly $40B, consumed as much as two-thirds of some critical U.S. missile interceptors and is expected to push inflation higher into next year, per a new CBO report. w/ @kadiagoba https://t.co/KloabF3HBu
