And right you would be.
What is America250?America250’s plans extend back nearly a decade, before Trump was first elected president.
It’s a nonpartisan, nonprofit group supporting the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, which was established by law in 2016 to “plan and orchestrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.”
The commission is led by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.; Alex Padilla, D-Calif.; and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.; and Reps. Robert Aderholt, R-Ala.; Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla.; Dwight Evans, D-Pa.; and Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J.
So why was Freedom 250 created?The foundation for what became Freedom 250 began as an executive order that President Donald Trump signed shortly after his second term began, with the establishment of “Task Force 250.”
Because Freedom 250 isn’t subject to congressional oversight, the Trump administration — and aligned outside groups — have more latitude in its plans.
Freedom 250 does not list its major donors online, but has identified companies such as John Deere and Northrop Grumman as “strategic partners” to the organization. Though the organization is partnering with departments and agencies across the federal government, Freedom 250 is not subject to any sort of independent oversight.
