As we told you earlier, California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a bit of free time this week so he went on the Obama bros' "Pod Save America" podcast to complain about Trump while saying the fires in his state shouldn't be politicized (politicians rarely want things "politicized" when their incompetence has been exposed for all to see).
Newsom calls for grace after failing to do basic wildfire prevention and then complains about a “weaponized environment,” invokes Trump when asked about his own accountability given he’s Governor.

Revolting display. https://t.co/rYK8ueiU4k
In a follow-up post, the "Pod Save America" account shared a link for people who would like to donate to the recovery effort, but the link goes to a page for ActBlue, a Dem PAC.
Senator Elizabeth Warren took that lead a step further in her post soliciting donations:
To help support the communities around L.A. being devastated by wildfires, can you split a donation between the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and United Way of Greater Los Angeles? 100% of your donation will go directly to these organizations: https://t.co/EtgMfHrEtq

She could have just directly linked to the charities but there's an ulterior motive for doing it this way.
Do not, under any circumstances, donate your money to ActBlue. Democrats are now using the tragedy in LA to fill their coffers. This is a new level of ghoulish behavior. https://t.co/UdUkmgXvxV

Any reason you're funneling donations through a left-wing company that takes 4% of the donation for its services rather than right to the charities?

Elizabeth Warren is using her position as United States Senator to skim 3.95% of all private donations meant to help those effected by the California fires into the coffers of the Democratic Party through ActBlue. She’s actively taking money from those who need it https://t.co/RgfdQcsce0 pic.twitter.com/fGeWSdbAI2

Right at the top of the donation page is a nice big "Warren for Senate" advertisement:

Yikes. "Ghoulish" pretty much sums it up.
Elizabeth Warren is taking advantage of the Los Angeles wildfires by using Act Blue to raise money in the name of helping those impacted.

Pocahontas is list building off of tragedy in CA as she angles to run for president in 2028.
This is gross stuff: https://t.co/tka01hNko2
"Never let a crisis go to waste" is their time-honored mantra.
the shamelessness of this is incredible. i would like to think the money goes to the charities, okay, but they’re collecting data and email lists, which is just not ethical. https://t.co/CNO3cV2DW8

Cripes, it literally says "Warren for Senate" at the top. They have no shame https://t.co/Dhf6txHy5q
