Today we are announcing the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht on a criminal complaint charging him with maliciously starting what became the Palisades Fire in January. 
The complaint alleges that Rinderknecht's started a fire in Pacific Palisades on New Year's Day -- a blaze that eventually turned into one of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles history, causing death and widespread destruction. Among the evidence that was collected from his digital devices was an image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city. 
While we cannot undo the damage and destruction that was done, we hope his arrest and the charges against him bring some measure of justice to the victims of this horrific tragedy. Rinderknecht's initial appearance is scheduled for today at 1:30 p.m. EDT in U.S. District Court in Orlando. Rinderknecht is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

This arrest validates everything in our lawsuit. Not only does it not change anything, it just buttressed the case. The lawyers were never arguing the state is responsible for the ignition. They argue that they left a dangerous condition on their property that was a proximate cause of the larger fire. They cite Vedder v Imperial County, which shows that govt can be responsible for damages by stacking up fuel, even if someone else *ignited* the fire

Spooky season nails 🩸🩸🩸

Wonderful and inspiring interview with @RickCarusoLA at the @allinsummit. I hope he chooses to run again for Mayor of LA, or Governor of CA. youtu.be/G2KvA4QD-IY?si…

To clear California High-Speed Rail for use on EXISTING train tracks between San Jose and San Francisco alone, the environmental review process produced a final report of 8,204 pages (456 hours of reading) and took almost 14 years to complete. We need reform.

Fantastic list of folks investing in consumer tech. Super helpful. Thanks for including me, @HugoAmsellem.

Thank you @BenAllenCA for listening to, hearing, and taking into consideration the Palisades community's concerns. 🙏🏼

@BenAllenCA Thank you! With few roads in and out, high density in the Palisades could prove extremely dangerous to our citizens in emergency conditions.

Thank you Colonel Eric Swenson (for leading clean-up efforts) and to the women and men of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (@USACEHQ) for working so hard to remove the debris left over from the #PalisadesFire. Our community is forever grateful. 🙏

One state ***increased*** its reading literacy for the bottom 10% of students while 49 other states let standards keep slipping. It was the poorest state in the country, Mississippi. In 2013 they enacted a rule where at 4th grade if you can’t read, you repeat until you can.
