IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore this entirely and focus attention on the week's actual governance events: election seizure orders, state lawsuits over voter data, and judicial challenges to constitutional overreach.
Why This Score
This is straightforward tech industry commentary with zero Trump administration governance connection. OpenAI CEO discussing a Pentagon AI contract is routine defense-tech business news with no constitutional implications, no distraction mechanics, and no institutional levers being pulled. Correctly pre-flagged as NOISE.
