Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Hudson's official press release claimed the OBBB 'slashes deficits by roughly $2 trillion' and restores 'fiscal sanity.' The CBO and independent analysts projected the bill would add $3-4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. A constituent letter in the Courier-Tribune called Hudson's claims 'enthusiastically misleading' and noted the framing about 'preventing the largest tax increase in American…

Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Hudson voted against the 2023 omnibus spending bill, calling it a 'boondoggle' and a 'monstrous spending spree,' yet in the same statement celebrated the $15.5 million of Fort Bragg funding within the bill — funding he and GOP senators had requested. The WRAL editorial noted he was 'happy to trash the legislation, vote to stop it and call it a boondoggle but gush on its help in his district.' Huds…

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.
