IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore this entirely and focus attention on the week's high-A events: voter information demands, civil service protection stripping, and judicial challenges to election orders.
Why This Score
This is routine administrative modernization with zero constitutional implications and zero distraction value. The USDA regularly updates its systems; this represents normal government operations with no policy change, no institutional capture, and no governance harm. It meets all noise gate criteria: A<25, null mechanism, no institutional lever, purely administrative.
