Get on ’em RIGHT NOWWe saw what happened last night. If you didn’t: eight fuckheads went over (7 Democrats, 1 Republican) to end the shutdown. They got ***absolutely fucking nothing*** for it. ***NOTHING***.

The Democrats and one independant siding with Republicans on the vote Sunday night were Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Angus King, I-Maine, Jackie Rosen, D-Nev., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.

However. There’s one last long shot, but you have to go from zero to 100 on this ***right the fuck now***. You may not have until the afternoon, you almost certainly don’t have until tomorrow. You’ve got to go ***RIGHT NOW***.

There’s going to be a series of steps before this is over. As I understand it, IT IS NOT YET OVER, THERE IS ONE MORE 60-PERSON VOTE. We have to get at least one of these fuckheads to go “oh shit, what was I doing?” and change their mind.

***They need to see an absolute eruption of fury.***

I don’t want to link to Threads, so I’m posting text from a post there, telling you to WRITE, CALL, BOMBARD ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SCREAM, most particularly at these four:

[TIM KAINE (VA)](https://www.kaine.senate.gov/contact )
[MAGGIE HASSAN (NH)](https://www.hassan.senate.gov/contact )
[JEANNE SHAHEEN (NH)](https://www.shaheen.senate.gov/contact/contact-jeanne )
[JACKY ROSEN (NV)](https://www.rosen.senate.gov/email-jacky/ )

Quoting OP:

“Is the shutdown over? Not yet. Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5. There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, and then the House. Nothing has reopened. Pressure matters right now—especially on (Tim Kaine, VA), (Maggie Hassan, NH), (Jeanne Shaheen, NH), and (Jacky Rosen, NV).”

Here’s what I wrote variations of tonight, just after the betrayal vote:

> How DARE you cave?

> HOW. DARE. YOU. CAVE.

> The Republicans are toxic, the election gave Democrats their first hope in a year, Trump is the most unpopular he’s ever been and you’re SURRENDERING?! You’re giving up the ONLY piece of leverage we have in exchange for… a fucking SHOW VOTE? A show vote that means NOTHING?! From a party who LIES like they BREATHE?

> I am repulsed. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

> Frankly it’d serve you right if they didn’t even have the show vote. I hope they don’t. I hope they rub your face in it.

> I want my goddamn contributions back. I need to send them to whoever primaries you, and the rest of your little pack of coward turncoats. Seriously, if there was a way after all this time to yank back every dollar I gave you, I would.

> Yeah, I know, I’m not a constituent but this fascist MAGA Republican Party budget affects me just as much as everyone else and you’re the one yanking them from the jaws of defeat to hand them a victory.

> Clear the goddamn seat and make room for someone who might actually vote like a Democrat.

> Frankly – you should just resign.

Get loud. Right now.

And primary every single one of these motherfuckers. They’ve all got to go.
