Vote contradicts: reversal
Horsford voted to expand mandatory ICE detention via the Laken Riley Act in January 2025 but then voted to deny funding to the same agency in February-March 2026, citing concerns about ICE's 'out-of-control' conduct. The Laken Riley Act is only effective with a funded ICE, making his votes operationally contradictory. Both sources are from independent outlets with different hostnames (reviewjourna…

2025

2025-10-24 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Horsford publicly positions himself as a serious legislator delivering for military families, yet his campaign spending pattern shows luxury hotel and bar expenditures funded by donors — including a 2010 pay-to-play scandal where he solicited $25,000 for access to legislative leaders. Both sources are from independent outlets with different hostnames.
2025-07-25 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: platform_vs_vote
Horsford campaigns as a champion for Nevada's working families, yet he voted against the 'No Tax on Tips' bill that would directly increase take-home pay for Nevada's tipped hospitality workers — the backbone of his district's economy.

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.
