California taxes are being weaponized against the very people paying them. This investigation exposes the paper trail behind massive payouts to organizations that promote extreme ideologies. We track the funds from the state treasury directly into the pockets of politicians and the radical groups they control.
Beyond just one politician, we trace how massive taxpayer money is siphoned into activist entities like CHIRLA. These groups were central players during the chaos of the LA Riots in 2025, and now they are collecting public funds to continue their work. This is the financial reality of state-sponsored activism.
