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).&nbsp;

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 <a href="https://twitchy.com/dougp/2025/01/11/pod-save-america-solicits-donations-for-fire-victims-its-been-noticed-where-the-money-goes-first-n2406462" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">goes to a page for ActBlue</a>, a Dem PAC.

Senator Elizabeth Warren took that lead a step further in her post soliciting donations:&nbsp;

She could have just directly linked to the charities but there's an ulterior motive for doing it this way.&nbsp;

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

Yikes. "Ghoulish" pretty much sums it up.&nbsp;

"Never let a crisis go to waste" is their time-honored mantra.

Critics accuse Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, of exploiting the tragedy for fundraising through ActBlue, a Democratic PAC.</p><p>Warren's solicitation for donations to wildfire recovery efforts is seen as self-serving, with accusations that she is using the situation to build her political profile and collect data for future campaigns. This has drawn backlash for perceived unethical behavior in the wake of a disaster. #politics</p>
