Peter Lake, architect of Trump's energy policy, departed from the National Energy Dominance Council. This represents a personnel change in energy policy leadership.
IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor for follow-up coverage indicating whether Lake's replacement signals a substantive policy shift or further consolidation of energy regulatory control; no immediate action needed.
Why This Score
This is a routine personnel departure from an advisory energy council. No evidence of constitutional mechanism (no rule-of-law violation, no election impact, no civil rights issue). The 'personnel_capture' mechanism tag is weakly justified—there's no indication the departure itself represents institutional capture beyond normal staff turnover. Both A and B scores fall well below thresholds, and the event lacks the noise indicators of viral outrage typically seen in true distraction events; it's simply a minor low-salience news item.
