Celebrating America's 250th Birthday

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to establish a White House Task Force, chaired by himself and the Vice President, to plan a grand celebration for America's 250th Independence anniversary on July 4, 2026. This task force will coordinate with various government agencies to organize the celebration and will operate under the Department of Defense until the end of 2026. Additionally, the order reinstates previous executive orders to develop the National Garden of American Heroes and protect monuments, highlighting a focus on honoring American history and preventing vandalism of historical sites. This move could face political scrutiny due to its emphasis on national heritage and the potential allocation of resources.
