Representative Andy Biggs, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 5th district since 2017, has recently expressed his views on various political matters through a series of tweets. His posts reflect his stance on issues such as the federal government's role in citizens' lives, party politics within the GOP, and actions taken by the Department of Justice.

On December 5, 2024, Representative Biggs criticized the scope of questions included in the national census. He stated that "The purpose of the census is to determine electoral apportionment—NOT to ask inane and invasive questions like whether the resident has difficulty concentrating." He further asserted that "Americans—for the most part—want the federal government to leave them alone," calling for Congress to halt what he describes as governmental overreach.

Later that day, Biggs addressed internal Republican dynamics regarding presidential appointments. At 19:52 UTC, he tweeted about GOP Senators who he believes are not supporting President Trump's cabinet selections adequately. He emphasized that "Republicans must work toward President Trump’s goals or risk being voted out." He also shared a link to his latest op-ed discussing this issue.

In another tweet posted at 21:13 UTC on December 5, Biggs accused President Biden's administration of misusing legal mechanisms against pro-life conservatives. Specifically targeting high-profile figures such as Biden and Harris, he claimed they had "weaponized the DOJ against pro-life conservatives under the FACE Act." He urged for records preservation while tagging relevant departments including @TheJusticeDept and @FBI.
