Today, federal prosecutors announced the arrest of Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, "charging him with maliciously starting what became the Palisades Fire in January."

He has his first court appearance today in Orlando.

The criminal complaint is not immediately available.

Pretty good reason to keep calling this asshole a fascist 👇

The House Speaker continues to spread falsehoods about the government shutdown. trib.al/2b8VnZs

In reality, the GOP's plan to “fix health care” leaves millions without it—the plan is projected to cut $1.1T from the Medicaid and ACA marketplace by 2034, as well as impose higher work requirements.

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Another day.

Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents.

What will it take for Republicans in Congress to speak out?

While we still have a democracy left.

Veterans and military families were cheated out $95 million in overdraft scams.

The CFPB made them whole, until Republicans voided the refunds and handed the banks their winnings back.

This is what “supporting the troops” looks like to the GOP.

Meet Catharyne. She’s a nurse and she’s fighting to protect her patients from hospital closures.

And so are we. House Democrats are fighting to save health care so that it can remain as accessible and affordable as possible.

“One week into the government shutdown, top Republican leaders appear to have lost the plot.”

Agreed.

ICE in Portland is limiting media access to Fox News and right-wing influencers, while stonewalling the local news media.

Trump’s lie to reporters yesterday that “we have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things…with regard to health care.” Minority leader Chuck Schumer said “Trump’s claim isn’t true—but if he’s finally ready to work with Democrats, we’ll be at the table.”

Headlines: Noem stares down an Army of Antifa in Oregon.

It was a couple of people and a guy in a chicken suit!

“We speak with one voice to say that the actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation.”

This you, Kristi?

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage.

It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using every lever to provoke our communities and incite chaos.

If Trump and Noem wanted to help Illinoisans, they would work with us — not against us — to protect public safety.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Know your rights, Illinois.

Stay safe and stay informed.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

They are trying to start a war. And these are killers not defenders of America. These are traitors to our constitution….
