this dropped thursday, one day before july 4th, and it's genuinely wild.
House Democrats on the Natural Resources Committee released a 55-page report titled "From Vanity to Insanity: How the White House Cheated the American People out of their 250th Birthday."
The core allegation: donors who wanted to give money to America250 the official bipartisan commission Congress created back in 2016 to organize the country's 250th birthday were allegedly given incorrect wire and routing instructions, redirecting their donations instead to Freedom 250, a separate Trump-backed group created last October.
Freedom 250 organizes the flashiest events: the UFC fight at the White House on Trump's birthday, the "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall, and tomorrow's July 4th fireworks show that opens with a Trump speech.
The money trail gets worse. Congress allocated $150 million for 250th anniversary events. America250 was supposed to get $100 million of that. They've received $25 million so far. Meanwhile Freedom 250, the newer Trump-aligned group, has more funding and way more visibility.
Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA), who led the investigation: "I'm a lawyer, and I know better than to pronounce that a crime has been committed. But I do know the elements of fraud, and there is evidence of all those elements here."
The report also alleges Freedom 250's CEO personally solicited foreign government officials for funding at Davos in January, despite receiving federal support and operating as a subsidiary of the National Park Foundation, which normally has to follow transparency rules a private LLC doesn't.
Freedom 250's spokesperson called the report "a partisan smear from politicians who would rather manufacture division than celebrate America's 250th birthday."
Huffman's closing line: "I'm old enough to remember the bicentennial in 1976. No one cared about party labels. Donald Trump stole that. He took this unifying moment and made it all about himself."

Is redirecting birthday donations to a politically-aligned group actually fraud, or just aggressive branding?
When John blew my mind with talking about General Hospital and calling out Brick (who I always thought was ‘Rick’), I should have known he’d end up on the show. And then 7/2 came and I’ve never had such excitement!! Z - please stay! Fall in love with someone and be permanent 💗💗
Feeling incredibly grateful on this Sunday! ❤️
Thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday wishes. Celebrating another year has me focusing on health, happiness, and gratitude, and your kind words added so much joy to my day. I truly appreciate this community and am so glad to be connected with you all!

Any staff from here know what’s going on? Have you all been laid off or sent to work in the ED?
Hello, I wanted to say hello, or say hello again, to this subreddit. I cover South Jersey (and Central Jersey - we exist dammit) for WHYY. You will see me post stuff, and even respond to comments when appropriate, but I also want to keep tabs on what is happening in the region. You can find my contact and a running list of stories as well here: https://whyy.org/person/p-kenneth-burns/. I look forward to staying in better contact than I have been.
This happened this morning. No one here understands the loss.

"Music America: The Songs that Shaped Us" is a highly curated, multi-artist revue celebrating America's 250th, and my not-so-old birthdays.
Each artist performs landmark songs from American music history. Blues, bluegrass, rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, country, and gospel are among the genres represented. Narration precedes each performance, giving context to the artist, song, and genre celebrated.
“Music America: The Songs that Shaped Us is a journey through American music history,” said Robert Santelli, executive director of the Springsteen Center and the concerts’ executive producer. “The concerts reflect everything the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music stands for: the power of music to bring people together, the rich and diverse treasury of American music as a mirror of our national culture, and the inspiration to think about our shared history in these divisive times.”
Night 2 tomorrow.
