A new report from a conservative-leaning group says that could have implications for politics and culture. MCCAMMON: And these authors looked at young adults ages 25 to 35 who self-identify as liberal or conservative. They found that young liberal women today are much less likely to have children than young conservative women, with a gap of more than 30 percentage points. And that's a big change since the 1980s, when there was a much smaller gap between liberal and conservative women.

Speaking amid mounting concerns over the city's budget, Mamdani said New York is facing a significant deficit that will force difficult decisions across multiple sectors. Among the areas on the chopping block: housing vouchers, library funding, and other public services that many residents rely on. The mayor did not provide a full breakdown of the cuts, but indicated that reductions will be widespread as officials attempt to stabilize the city's finances. Housing assistance programs, which have been critical in addressing affordability and homelessness, are expected to take a hit"raising concerns among advocates about increased displacement and housing insecurity.
