💨 Abstract

In the Washington, D.C. region, high heat and potential intense storms are expected, while a crash on the Dulles Toll Road is causing traffic backups. Meanwhile, a new AP-NORC poll reveals that Americans prioritize affordable child care and improving maternal health over encouraging higher birth rates. Despite some pronatalist advocacy, most Americans, including many Republicans, do not view declining birth rates as a major problem.
