(DCNF)—Several people across the U.S. spent the week of Easter getting arrested on charges of attacking Tesla vehicles.
At least four suspects were accused of keying, spray painting or throwing explosives at Tesla cars, seemingly in protest of CEO Elon Musk’s role in President Donald Trump’s administration. The string of cases marks an intensifying trend against Tesla owners that the Department of Justice (DOJ) says has boiled over into “domestic terrorism.”
Court records show the DOJ charged 19-year-old Owen McIntire in Massachusetts with burning two Teslas worth more than $100,000 and two charging stations in March with a Molotov cocktail, an explosive device that has seen increased usage among left-wing demonstrators. McIntire is a Massachusetts student who allegedly committed the attack in Missouri while on spring break before authorities tracked him with flight records and GPS pings.
Days prior, the DOJ had also charged lipstick-wearing “queer” male scientist Jamison Wagner with firebombing a Tesla dealership and GOP headquarters in New Mexico. The DOJ said it found incendiary devices spray paint and a flammable chemicle belonging to Wagner at his residence.
“Let me be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: you will not evade us,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Friday DOJ press release about the arrest of McIntire that day. “You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars. It is not worth it.”
An attorney for Wagner did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. Court records do not list an attorney for McIntyre.
At the local level, Minnesota police announced at a Thursday press conference that they had arrested a Minneapolis resident the day prior for allegedly keying six Teslas across the city. The alleged vandal caused more than $21,000 in damage and could face felony charges, police said.
As in several other Tesla vandalism cases, the Minneapolis suspect appeared to be undeterred by the fact that Teslas come with cameras that automatically record human activity, footage shows. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara called Teslas “rolling surveillance vehicles” at the press briefing and asked “other people who may have been victimized to please come forward.”
O’Hara said the police will not disclose the suspect’s name until he or she is formally charged. The Hennepin County district attorney’s office did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
Another man in Florida was arrested Thursday night and faces felony criminal mischief charges for allegedly keying three Teslas, causing more than $11,000 in damage, Bradenton police said on Facebook. The suspect’s bond was set to $150,000. County records do not yet list the suspect’s case or an attorney.
Trump’s federal law enforcement officials have formed a task force focused on finding and prosecuting those responsible for politically motivated attacks on Teslas, many of which are accused of arson. Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel call such attacks “domestic terrorism.”
“Crimes have consequences,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in the Friday release. “The people behind these violent and dangerous attacks on private property will face decades in prison — we will not make deals and we will not negotiate.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
