Today, the House Judiciary Committee released an interim staff report titled "FireAid Apparently Misused Charitable Donations by Funding Illegal Aliens, Podcasters, and Non-Profits' Administrative Costs." Based on internal documents obtained by the Committee, the report details how FireAid—a fundraising initiative created to provide direct relief to wildfire victims in Southern California—diverted donations intended for fire victims to left-leaning pet projects, illegal aliens, and administrative costs for various non-profit organizations.
FireAid advertised that all donations raised during its benefit concert would go directly to victims of the California wildfires. Unfortunately, this was not the case. To date, FireAid has granted $75 million of the $100 million raised to a total of 188 non-profits, including $100,000 for voter participation efforts for Native Americans, $550,000 to groups involved in political advocacy, an unknown amount of money toward illegal aliens, $100,000 to podcasters, and over $500,000 for bonuses, salaries, and consultants for non-profit organizations.
According to an internal report commissioned by FireAid, Altadena Talks Foundation received $100,000 in grants to support victims of the California wildfires. Instead, the foundation used the relief funds to support podcasts discussing the California wildfires on the show, despite being tech focused.
A grant report dated February 2025 included a list of the Community Organized Relief Efforts' (CORE) "priority groups" that it sought to help using money received from FireAid. Among those priority groups were "Undocumented Migrants," who CORE asserted are "at high risk of housing instability, economic hardship, exploitation, and homelessness."
While the documents and information received to date shed light on some of the recipients of the millions of dollars raised during the FireAid benefit concert, more information is still needed to understand the full story.

And how much money do each of these groups kick back as political donations?
There seems to be a pattern here.
The Republican Party is funded by US citizens who donate part of their paycheck to the party because they agree with the GOP policies.
The Democrat Party is funded by taxpayers who are forced to give money to the government, which then illegally transfers this money to a party which is anti-American and which has nothing but contempt for US citizens.
Well put.

“FireAid”
These dem people certainly are brazen.
FIREAID -—> IF I DARE
It’s a nicely worded letter.
I see what you did there😂
Fraud Aid
“by Funding Illegal Aliens, Podcasters, and Non-Profits’ Administrative Costs”
____________________________
Sounds like fraud to me.
Some will say it was freely given donations by saps who got duped. Not my problem.
Oh, contrare! These were monies that were not taxed on the charity and the donor didn’t have to pay tax on that money either. We all lose.
EC
“FireAid Apparently Misused Charitable Donations by Funding Alien invaders who plunder{Illegal Aliens}, Media payoffs {Podcasters}, and Democrat {Non-Profits’} Administrative Costs.”
There, I fixed it synonyms so everyone could understand.
Hey look, it is time to start putting these bastards in jail. I want my federal tax money back! I am sick and F#$@ing Tired of it.
“FireAid advertised that all donations raised during its benefit concert would go directly to victims of the California wildfires. Unfortunately, this was not the case.”
Commies lie.
Why isn’t that Mayor commie Bass in jail yet. What the F#@k are we waiting for?
Tell the worthless bimbo running the DoJ.
I don’t know why the Federal Government will not act. Perhaps they don’t want to make it ‘Political’, or create ‘unrest’. I don’t think they are making the right choice, but I do understand that doing the right thing would be seen as ‘divisive’.
We are watching LA and California die.
Until they are dead, they can not be reborn.
Salvation is impossible and certainly not worth the effort.
You are not possessing the intellect to back up that statement. She is your better by at least a thousand fold
You have joined the enemy by opposing the President’s effort to Make America Great Again
All of these fundraisers simply serve as virtue signaling for the elite Libs and Progressives. The money invariably goes to NGOs, tax exempt charities, and donations to politicians in on the grift. Live Aid, Farm Aid, Haiti, Katrina, Fire Aid - the list is endless. Hell, it’s the grift that makes the world go ‘round. It is fundamentally the reason who the “big grifters” like the Red Cross, United Good Neighbors, March of Dimes, most Cancer research initiatives are failures. Without government tax money, they would surely be defunct. People with more compassion than brains keep them afloat. Can’t fix stupid.
