Don't let 'DOGE reversal' stories distract from tracking the denaturalization campaign and state-by-state election control plan—those have permanent constitutional consequences, humanities budget adjustments do not.
This is a policy reversal story with zero constitutional harm—humanities funding adjustments are routine budget politics with no institutional damage. However, it scores high on distraction: extremely media-friendly ('DOGE backs down!'), dropped during a week with serious denaturalization and election control actions, and creates a false 'guardrails working' narrative that diverts attention from actual institutional threats.
