IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
When you see celebrity/sports appearances dominating news cycles, actively search for what policy actions or legal proceedings occurred that same week—use tools like Federal Register, court dockets, and agency announcements rather than relying on curated news feeds.
Why This Score
Pure spectacle event with zero constitutional impact but high distraction value. Timing is critical: dropped during a week featuring Strait of Hormuz blockade announcement, Iran war escalation, ICE due process violations, and voter list executive order challenges. The UFC appearance is a proven playbook item (high pattern match) that generates easy media coverage while displacing substantive governance discussion.
