IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
When presidential health stories dominate news cycles, actively seek out what governance actions occurred that same week—check agency rule changes, personnel moves, and enforcement actions that received less coverage.
Why This Score
Presidential physical exam is routine administrative matter with zero constitutional or governance impact (A=0). However, it scores high on distraction metrics: extremely media-friendly (easy panel discussion, no research needed), massive coverage-to-substance mismatch, and released during week with multiple high-stakes governance events (EPA rollback, NATO turnaround, Jan 6 scrubbing, DHS threats). Classic distraction playbook pattern.
