IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track whether student loan policy changes are consistently announced during major foreign policy or constitutional crisis periods—this reveals strategic communication patterns.
Why This Score
This is a routine policy expiration with zero constitutional damage—no institutional levers pulled, no rights violated, simply a program ending. However, it's announced during an extraordinary week of Iran military escalation, ICE operations against Iranian nationals, and potential uranium seizure planning. The timing creates maximum distraction value from far more serious governance events.
