A resolution condemning the recent acts of violence, arson, and domestic terrorism committed throughout the United States

This is a non-binding Senate resolution (S. Res. 146) introduced by Senator Blackburn and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Its purpose is moral and political in nature: to condemn violence, arson, and acts described as domestic terrorism directed at electric vehicles (EVs), car dealerships, and EV charging infrastructure across the United States. The resolution cites recent incidents and notes that the Department of Justice has charged individuals for violent destruction of Tesla properties, including an incident where a person armed with an assault rifle threw Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership. The text emphasizes that all violence is unacceptable and expresses the Senate’s condemnation of these acts. It does not create new laws, authorize spending, or obligate federal agencies to take specific actions. Because it is a resolution, its effect is largely symbolic and aspirational. It signals the Senate’s stance, may bolster support for law enforcement and anti-violence efforts, and can inform public discourse, but it does not by itself change policy or provide official directives or funding.
