Track what governance actions occurred July 1-5, 2025 that received minimal coverage compared to celebration spectacle—particularly the SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling, pardon patterns, and regulatory changes.
This is a ceremonial national celebration with zero constitutional governance impact (A=0). However, it exhibits strong distraction characteristics: massive media-friendly coverage during a week featuring a major SCOTUS defeat for Trump (birthright citizenship), multiple controversial pardons, and regulatory rollbacks. The timing, $101.9M spending, and media saturation create significant narrative displacement from accountability topics.
