IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track whether Blanche's confirmation proceeds and monitor for any revival of Jan6-related 'anti-weaponization' compensation mechanisms post-confirmation.
Why This Score
This is a procedural confirmation-process concession—Blanche rescinding a controversial proposed fund to secure GOP support—rather than an active exercise of executive power or a major rights violation. It has some tangential relevance to DOJ weaponization politics (rule_of_law, capture) but is low-durability and easily reversible, and it lacks broad media virality, landing both scores below the salience threshold.
