Rep. Andy Biggs, a U.S. Congressman representing Arizona's 5th district since 2017, shared his perspectives on international and domestic issues through a series of tweets on November 22, 2024. His comments addressed the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court (ICC), federal spending practices, and legislative procedures in the House of Representatives.

On November 22, 2024, Rep. Biggs expressed strong support for Israel's right to self-defense and criticized the International Criminal Court's actions against Israeli leaders. He stated, "Israel has every right to defend itself; it’s appalling that the ICC would threaten their leaders with arrest." Furthermore, he urged Congress to clarify that "the U.S. does not recognize the ICC’s legitimacy or jurisdiction," mentioning his introduction of a resolution earlier this year to address this issue.

Later that day, Biggs acknowledged Rep. Alex Mooney for highlighting federal spending concerns over the past decade by sharing a graphic detailing these issues. He tweeted at 03:52:50 UTC, "Thanks to my friend @RepAlexMooney for sharing his graphic detailing our spending woes over the last decade."

In another tweet posted at 03:52:50 UTC, Rep. Biggs criticized the passage of continuing resolutions (CRs) by the House of Representatives over the last decade, stating that they contribute to growing debt and poor policy decisions. He called upon his colleagues in Congress to avoid further CRs and return to working on individual spending bills as required by law.
