THE FOURTH VOTE, THE NEXT MORNING
Roll Call 222, H. Res. 1335, taken June 11, condemned actors seeking to defraud the U.S. Government and expressed the sense of the House of Representatives that government-wide fraud and improper payment prevention reforms will meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of the U.S., and that Federal program eligibility should be verified before payment.
It passed 235 to 177. Shomari Figures voted no. All five Alabama Republicans voted yes.

Wall of Shame — Today: Protective Life
Today on the Wall of Shame: the Protective Life Corp. Federal PAC (ProtectPAC) (Birmingham) has put $5,000 into Rep. Shomari Figures' campaign account. Two $2,500 checks across the cycle; Figures then voted no on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — the insurance and tax provisions Protective's own industry supported. The Wall of Shame exists for one reason — so that total stops growing. https://take2back.com/wall-of-shame.html
