America’s 250th birthday is on sale. Where’s all that merch money going?

With the nation's 250th birthday comes a flood of merchandise ranging from decorative pillows to youth tees, all branded under the America250 initiative. While these items celebrate the country's history, they also raise questions about where all the money from these sales is going. Established by Congress a decade ago, America250's role in managing these funds and ensuring they benefit national initiatives remains a topic of interest and scrutiny, especially given the commercial implications for both public perception and financial transparency.
