Revealed conduct — Coinbase frames its policy advocacy as constructive engagement on stablecoin and custody rules; the practical mechanism is a Coinbase-funded super-PAC that spent ~$40M to defeat incumbents who declined to endorse those positions.
The Fairshake super-PAC spent approximately $40 million in the 2024 election to successfully oppose incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown in Ohio.

What this view assembles

  • Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
  • Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
  • Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
  • Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).

This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
