This is flying under the radar, but Trump's cronies have started their own organization to plan 250th anniversary events. Not only is their "Freedom 250" receiving taxpayer funds, it's also soliciting big donations from corporations in exchange for face time with Trump. Everything is for sale.

As I have repeatedly laid out, before Trump rolled out a Fraud Task Force run out of the WH (and so inherently political), he fired the Inspectors General who had found the underlying fraud, effectively weaponizing fraud. CATO lays out how he wants to do more of this. www.cato.org/blog/trump-c...
