Smokescreen alert:

While "Trump Makes False Claims About Hospital 'Reverse Surgery' on Trans Patients" dominated headlines (distraction: 65/100)...

It does the 3 things that decide whether you land well:

• Pivot Map — where your skills actually transfer + 3–4 real roles (demand + salary data)
• Voice mock interviews, scored on a private rubric
• An agent that focuses your search on what's working

In 60+ weeks of tracking the Distraction Index, we've scored 1,500+ political events on two axes:

🔴 Constitutional damage (real governance harm)
🟠 Distraction/Hype (media amplification)
