Census Docs Delay After Maloney Letter Sparks Scrutiny

The letter notes a missed Nov. 24 deadline, while internal documents suggest data anomalies could push end dates to Jan. 26 to Feb. 6, after Biden’s inauguration. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly’s swearing in narrows GOP edge to 52-48, setting up Georgia Senate runoffs. The Transportation Department also rules that only dogs can be service animals on flights, ending free animals for emotional support amid concerns over fraudulent claims.
