As the U.S. prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, two competing entities—America250 and Freedom 250—are jostling for influence, cash, and public attention. America250, a congressional commission, has spent millions on a Trump-backed military parade and runs a merchandise store, while Freedom 250, linked to former President Trump, operates as a for-profit LLC selling its own gear. Reports suggest at least $10 million in taxpayer funds may have flowed from America250 to Freedom 250, with lawmakers hinting at even more. Critics call Freedom 250 a partisan “shadow organization,” raising alarms over transparency and the misuse of public money meant for nationwide celebration.
