IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore celebrity political commentary entirely. Focus attention on the FBI voter registration office searches and DOJ's motion to dismiss the Halkbank sanctions case—both have actual institutional consequences.
Why This Score
Pure celebrity commentary with zero governance mechanism, institutional lever, or constitutional impact. Scores 0 on all A-drivers. Moderate B-score (29) reflects high media-friendliness and volume-mismatch during a week with substantial List A events (FBI searches, DOJ case dismissals, impeachment demands). Classic noise: generates coverage without governance substance.
