Track what major policy actions or personnel changes occur while media focuses on this construction dispute—particularly any Iran-related military authorizations or domestic agency restructuring that receives minimal scrutiny.

The constitutional harm is minimal—a routine legal appeal about construction that raises modest separation-of-powers and corruption questions (personal enrichment via White House renovations).

The media-volume mismatch is severe: ballroom construction dominates coverage while Pentagon drafts invasion plans.
