IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track what governance actions occurred this week that received minimal coverage compared to this security incident—particularly DOJ decisions, voting restrictions, and refugee policy changes.
Why This Score
This is a pure security incident with zero constitutional or governance implications—no policy change, no institutional action, no legal precedent. However, it generates maximum media saturation (34 breathless headlines) during a week with significant List A events (DOJ actions, voting restrictions, military bans). The timing, emotional trigger (assassination fears), and media-volume-to-substance mismatch are textbook distraction mechanics.
