I am the Democratic nominee who ran against Matt Gaetz, and lost, on Nov. 5th, only for him to resign 9 days later so ethics investigation into sex crimes would go away or perhaps AG!

People at the State Department report that the Federal Women's Program is "pausing activity," and coordinators have been told, via email, to cancel all events.
Of note, this is not an employee voluntary association -- the program is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1614.102).

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
