Summary
Energy Secretary stated that Americans could feel relief on gas prices within a few more weeks, following administration actions on oil drilling and energy policy.
IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track actual gas prices over next 4-6 weeks and compare to this promise; note whether media coverage of constitutional issues (election changes, data suppression) decreased following this statement.
Why This Score
Pure distraction play with zero constitutional harm. Energy Secretary making vague promise about gas price relief 'in a few weeks' is textbook media-friendly economic reassurance dropped during a week packed with high-A events (election administration changes, immigration data suppression, media threats). Massive media-volume mismatch given no actual policy mechanism specified, just optimistic timeline projection.
