Firefighters worked to put out a fire-engulfed Tesla vehicle that self-ignited in a wrecking yard in Sacramento, California, on Thursday, June 9. The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District (SMFD) said the vehicle had been involved in a wreck three weeks prior and suffered major damage. “Crews knocked the fire down, but the car kept reigniting and off-gassing in the battery compartment. Working with the onsite wrecking yard personnel, the Tesla was moved on its side to gain access to the battery compartment underneath. Even with direct penetration, the vehicle would still reignite due to the residual heat,” the SMFD said. The department said firefighters and yard staff eventually dug a pit and filled it with water to stop the vehicle from igniting and catching fire. No injuries were reported.

Right-wing comedian and social media personality Alex Stein confronted Congressman Dan Crenshaw at the Texas Republican Party convention in Houston on June 18. Stein called Crenshaw a “globalist RINO [Republican in name only]” and “eyepatch McCain,” a term coined by media personality Tucker Carlson which refers to the late US Senator John McCain and Crenshaw’s eye covering for an injury he sustained in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Stein allegedly assaulted Crenshaw and staff, according to news reports. Stein denied the claim, instead alleging that Crenshaw’s staff assaulted him. “I just want to make it clear that no one was assaulted today other than myself by Dan Crenshaw’s private police force…the videos clearly prove this fact and more video will be posted in order to exonerate myself and uncover the lies of the legacy media running cover for Dan,” Stein tweeted.
