Gillibrand opposed the bipartisan shutdown-ending funding deal while simultaneously claiming credit for millions in community project funding that it contained. The Daily Caller reported she voted against the legislation while her office touted the earmarks it delivered — a pattern shared with other New York Democrats. Both accounts come from publicly reported sources.

The reversal tracks with her shift from a conservative rural district to a Democratic-leaning statewide constituency.
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.
