U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures (D-Mobile) isn't backing down. He's sticking to his guns and defending his repeated votes against government funding measures. While the Senate gave a funding bill the thumbs-up (60-4, with some Dems siding with the GOP, the House is set to vote Wednesday. If it passes and gets Trump's signature, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history will finally be over. Figures, speaking before the vote, urged his colleagues to keep the fight going to extend Obamacare tax credits. He slammed House Republicans for their "taxpayer-funded vacation" while Dems were "fighting to keep health care affordable." Figures highlighted the real-world impact of the shutdown, saying families faced tough choices about taking care of their children and relying on food pantries. He accused the administration of using SNAP benefits as "pawns in this game." The Congressman criticized some Senate Democrats for agreeing to what he considers a weak deal. He questioned the value of a future vote on healthcare subsidies, calling it a "handshake deal" that's "dead on arrival." Despite the outcome, Figures argued the shutdown was "hell yes, worth it" because it brought attention to the crucial healthcare issue. "There's nothing more pure than...ensuring the health care of the American people," he stated. He praised his House Democratic colleagues for standing firm on the issue, led by Hakeem Jeffries. The Senate-passed bill includes full-year military funding (a big deal for Alabama), keeps agencies running, and ensures federal workers get their back pay.Figures Stands Firm Against Funding Bill
