2025

2025-07-03 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Van Duyne voted against the bipartisan Fiscal Responsibility Act in 2023 for insufficient spending cuts, yet voted in 2025 for Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the CBO projected would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit — far more than the FRA she rejected.

2024

2024-04-20 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Van Duyne supported Ukraine lend-lease in 2022 but subsequently voted against every major Ukraine aid package through 2024, signed a letter opposing further funding, and received an 'F' grade from Republicans for Ukraine — reversing from initial support to consistent opposition.

2022

2022-07-07 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Van Duyne voted against the bipartisan infrastructure law, then one year later touted DFW Airport receiving grants from the same law she opposed, calling herself 'thrilled' about the funding while conspicuously omitting mention of her vote against it.

2021

2021-04-28 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Van Duyne opposed the American Rescue Plan as wasteful spending, then took credit on social media for its benefits, telling constituents 'help is on the way to North Texas' — a pattern President Biden called out by name in a May 2021 speech.

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.
