Biggs Wants Tesla Arsonists Investigated

Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) wrote to FBI Director Kash Patel urging for investigations into the recent attacks on Tesla vehicles and other acts of domestic terrorism, saying, "I know that Director Patel's FBI will thoroughly investigate these domestic terror threats."

As Elon Musk's efforts to reduce the size of government through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) ramp up, Tesla, Musk's electric vehicle company, has seen instances of vandalism and arson at dealerships and on the street, with one instance of a man shooting at the vehicles in a dealership.

President Donald Trump has described the attacks as acts of domestic terrorism, and Attorney General Pam Bondi has already made several arrests.

"Of course, these despicable acts are growing in an organized way to intimidate ordinary citizens who simply own a car manufactured by Tesla. Those behind this conspiracy of violence are now trying to dox Tesla owners and are encouraging vandalism and violence," said Rep. Biggs in his letter.

Senator Ruben Gallego: Elon Musk is trying to shut down the Yuma Rural Development Office. This office helps rural Arizonans access essential programs like affordable housing and infrastructure funding. I’m urging the USDA to keep it open. Rural Arizona isn’t for sale.

Representative Andy Biggs: President Trump just cut $3 billion in government spending. The President’s Administration is the only branch of government willing to cut spending. I’m right there with him. Thank you @POTUS!

Representative Eli Crane: Democrats allow blatant corruption that rips off American taxpayers. President Trump uncovers the abuse and alerts American taxpayers. Which approach do you prefer?

Representative Juan Ciscomani: Cartel drone activity at the southern border threatens our national security. Following our visit to the border, I co-led a letter with @RepJohnMcGuire urging the @DeptofDefense, @DHSgov & @FAANews to take action against unmanned drone systems at the border.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: Just like generations before us, today’s kids deserve the chance to test themselves, measure their progress, & strive for greatness, At the very least, they deserve to be as healthy as they can be That's what The Congressional Fitness Challenge is about

Representative Greg Stanton: Trump's senior national security team, including the @VP, used the commercial messaging app Signal to communicate detailed war plans. This massive breach of national security protocol could easily have cost American soldiers their lives. Americans—especially the families of servicemembers—deserve answers. Congress must immediately hold oversight hearings and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place moving forward.

Representative Yassamin Ansari: This is one of the biggest national security failures of my lifetime. The fact that sensitive, highly confidential discussions about a pending military action was discussed over a commercial messaging app — and then inadvertently included an outside party in the text thread — is not only extremely dangerous with severe national security implications, but blatantly violated federal law. I'm calling on Republicans to join with Democrats in immediately investigating this egregious breach of national security.

State Representative John Gillette: Leadership is not a popularity contest. It's making the unemotional tough decision to tell friends and enemies the hard truth through policy and actions. Popularity contest got us into this mess.... Leadership will get us out!

Maricopa County Supervisor Debbie Lesko: Jim Bull from Team Lesko recently attended the two-year anniversary of Incite - a health and wellness business in the City of Peoria. We presented a certificate to the proprietors in honor of their service to our community. Here's to many more years of success!

Karrin Taylor Robson: I am deeply honored to have Governor @SarahHuckabee’s endorsement to be the next Governor of Arizona! I’m thrilled she’s joining President Trump in supporting my campaign to deliver results for Arizona by defeating radical Katie Hobbs!
