The Distraction Index
@[email protected]The Distraction Index publishes a frozen, immutable weekly record of U.S. political events scored on two independent axes:
🔴 A-Score: Constitutional damage (governance harm, reversibility, precedent)
🟠 B-Score: Distraction/Hype (media amplification, strategic manipulation)
When damage is high but coverage is low, that's a red flag.
59+ weeks of data · 1,500+ scored events · 210+ smokescreen pairs detected
Independent · Ad-free · Open source
