The current government shutdown has catalyzed the largest downsizing of the federal workforce in nearly a century, with President Trump eliminating approximately 300,000 federal positions this year alone. As the federal workforce shrinks from 2.4 million to an estimated 2.1 million, the administration is leveraging unique legal authorities to create permanent reductions in federal jobs. This unprecedented move not only reshapes entire agencies but also highlights a significant shift in the balance of power between the executive branch and federal bureaucracy, all while Democrats struggle to respond to the fallout of their own strategies.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
