Yesterday's House rule passed 214-211.

Two Democrats voted for it. Both hold seats Republicans can win. Without them it fails 212-213.

Shomari Figures voted no. Same vote, same no, on Sept 1.

AL-02 was drawn to be safe. He's never had to choose.

Sept 2: the House voted to lock the Supreme Court at 9 justices.

Republicans: 211-0 for it.
Shomari Figures: against.

Days earlier Jim Clyburn said 13 justices would be "a pretty good number."

55 days.

The House voted Tuesday on a resolution condemning socialism. It passed 220-192.

Shomari Figures voted at 2:20. He voted again at 5:55.

At 5:47, on the socialism vote, he is not recorded.

We pulled all 84 of his recorded votes, June 3 to July 23, off the House Clerk.

He broke with his caucus twice.

82 out of 84. That is the caucus they are buying.

73 days.

The fastest-growing faction in Shomari Figures' party is led by a man who needs his father for a roof.

Gustavo Gordillo co-chairs the largest DSA chapter in America. It wants land redistributed "from landowners to the landless."

He owns none.

It elected a mayor of New York. It just nominated a DSA member for the U.S. Senate in Florida.

Shomari Figures does not carry a DSA card. He does not need one.

Figures says more federal money makes health care affordable.

When the credits lapsed, the average monthly payment went from $113 to $178.

Nothing happened to the care. Washington just stopped covering part of the bill.

The price was always $178.

Shomari Figures voted with his party's majority on 77 of 82 roll calls this summer. 94%.

He broke 4 times. Three came inside 19 minutes on July 21 — a week after the NRCC targeted him.

Tuesday, Republicans pick who takes him on.

Ten days to the Aug 11 primary in AL-02.

Shomari Figures: $662,600 banked, no primary opponent. That money isn't for August — it's for October.

Six Republicans spending against each other for the right to face him.

Under 30,000 votes. No runoff. https://t.co/W8v3muINzZ

[Take Back District 2 @take2back]

No Democrat filed against him. That part isn't his doing.

But while AL-02's Republicans spend each other down for August 11, Figures banked $662,600 and hasn't had to touch it since spring.

Voter registration for the August 11 primary closed Monday. The list is final.

Six Republicans shared a stage in Dothan and agreed on one thing: this seat flips.

The DCCC paid for a poll here. Their own incumbent came back at 44.

Twice in one day last week, Shomari Figures voted against bills that included proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Monday, July 27 is your last day to register for the Aug 11 primary.

Register anyway.

Monday is the last day to register for the Aug 11 special primary in District 2.

Fourteen counties changed congressional districts — Coffee, Dale, Elmore, Geneva, Henry and Houston among them.

You may be registered and not know which race is on your ballot.

The House voted Tuesday to keep the government funded through December and avoid a shutdown. It passed 220-205.

Six Democrats crossed over to vote yes.

Shomari Figures wasn't one of them. He voted no.

AL-02 is now Republican ground. His votes still aren't.

[Take Back District 2 @take2back]

They wrote it down. Abolish the Senate. Defund the Department of War. Phase out fossil fuels.
Fort Rucker is in Alabama's 2nd District.
Name one demand in that document Shomari Figures will publicly reject.

In March, Shomari Figures voted against the Farm Bill.
His own stated reason: it "does not go far enough."
Not that it spent too much. That it didn't spend enough.
Four months later, a $15 billion payment program.
