Elizabeth Warren Sees California Wildfires as Golden Opportunity to Fundraise for Presidential Campaign

In a move that would make even Rahm Emanuel proud, United States Senator Elizabeth Warren has reportedly seized on the devastating California wildfires as a prime fundraising opportunity for her 2028 presidential campaign. 


As homes burn in the Pacific Palisades, West Hills, North Pasadena, and Altadena areas, Warren is apparently ready to light up her donor base with a fiery new pitch.


According to a leaked memo intercepted by our Capitol insider, Warren told her staff to "double down" on donation requests amid the chaos. "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," Warren's memo began, paying homage to the timeless wisdom of Emanuel, whose knack for leveraging catastrophes has earned him the position of United States Ambassador to Japan.


In the memo, Warren reportedly noted the silver lining of the fiery forests of California: 


“Big celebrities with multi-million dollar mansions will be getting massive amounts of federal funding to rebuild. We need to position ourselves as the champions of the people’s mansions — even if we are going to tax them to death when I become President.”



The campaign's new wildfire-themed fundraising slogan—"Feel the Bern, Donate to Liz!"—has already raised eyebrows, but Warren’s team insists it captures the urgency of the moment. "We’re not just about fighting for democracy," said one Warren staffer, "we’re fighting to put the flames of facism out.."


Warren’s plan, insiders say, involves targeting Californians who are losing everything. Her campaign email template reportedly reads, “As wildfires rage across California, democracy itself is under attack. We need your help to rebuild our nation — one donation at a time.”


Warren is also allegedly banking on Hollywood celebrities who, thanks to federal aid, will soon be rebuilding their sprawling estates. 


“This is our chance to align with A-listers while emphasizing that our real fight is for the average person’s right to rebuild their studio apartment,” Warren wrote in her memo. “And if we can get a few cameos at our fundraisers, all the better.”


Not everyone is feeling the warmth of Warren’s wildfire fundraising efforts. Critics have accused her of exploiting a natural disaster for personal political gain. “It’s the most tone-deaf move since Donald Trump endorsed Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House,” said one California resident whose home was reduced to ashes.


Conservative commentators were quick to roast Warren for the memo. “Elizabeth Warren doesn’t just want to put out fires—she wants to throw gasoline on them if it means getting a headline and a donation,” said one patriot on X.


Warren’s campaign manager, meanwhile, has defended the strategy, claiming it’s all about drawing attention to the bigger picture. “Wildfires are a metaphor for what’s happening to our democracy,” they said, gesturing vaguely at a map of California with various areas circled in red. “It’s burning, and only Elizabeth Warren can save it — with your $20.28 donation.”


As Californians sift through the rubble of their homes, Warren’s campaign is reportedly planning a series of wildfire-themed events, including a virtual town hall titled “From the Ashes: How We Build Back Better with Big Structural Change”. 


Proceeds will go directly to Warren’s campaign coffers.


Whether this strategy will ignite her presidential bid or burn it to the ground remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Elizabeth Warren has taken “playing with fire” to a whole new level.
