Vote contradicts: same_source_inconsistency
[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Gooden supported the Republican-led 'Limit, Save, Grow Act' as a negotiating position on the debt ceiling, then voted against the actual Fiscal Responsibility Act that achieved the same goal of raising the debt ceiling with spending caps. The reversal demonstrates opportunistic positioning rather than consistent fiscal principles.

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.
