Vote contradicts: same_source_inconsistency
[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Burchett spent years introducing resolutions to require CBO estimates before votes, demonstrating institutional trust in CBO scoring. When the CBO scored Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill as adding $3.3 trillion to deficits, he immediately reversed course and called CBO staff partisan bureaucrats who should be replaced.

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.
