IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Watch whether Maryland's stormwater fee authority is formally preempted or merely referenced, and whether other states face similar federal environmental rollbacks.
Why This Score
This is a narrow federal-state environmental/regulatory policy action with minor separation-of-powers friction (federal preemption of state 'rain tax' rules) but no evidence of institutional capture, rights violations, or election-related harm. It generates negligible public hype or distraction value, reading as routine policy news rather than spectacle or governance crisis.
