@seanspicer No DST! I want light in the mornings, not at night! Booooo…

YES!!! Victory - let there be more light FWIW DST is currently Sun, Mar 8, 2026 – Sun, Nov 1, 2026 and is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer by having darkness fall at a later clock time.

@HouseCommerce @RepKatCammack Terrible, stupid, previously failed decision.

Changing the clocks twice a year isn't just inconvenient — it's disruptive to our daily lives @RepKatCammack highlights. The Sunshine Protection Act makes Daylight Saving Time permanent, so Americans will no longer have to keep changing their clocks and they can enjoy more sunshine in the evenings.

@TheCalvinCooli1 👏👏👏

🚨Just in: Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton is expected to block the Permanent Daylight Saving Time bill in the U.S. Senate

@bigcontentguy Yes! And we don’t want dark, cold mornings until 9am! No DST!

am i the only one who likes when it gets darker earlier in the winter

@MarkDavis Already failed when tried in the 70’s. Car accidents & fatalities, obesity & strokes all increased. Terrible decision.

This is fantastic. No more darkness at 6 pm. If we need to start school a little later, do it. Long overdue.

According to Grok: No, there is little to no robust scientific evidence that Daylight Saving Time (DST) decreases depression or broadly improves mental health. Most research points to neutral, mixed, or negative effects from DST transitions and periods. Key Findings from Studies: •Living under DST (vs. standard time) shows no consistent mental health benefits. A comprehensive systematic review of 157 studies found no clear and consistent effects on psychiatric outcomes. Some potential benefits (e.g., fewer certain crimes in summer under DST) exist, but mental health impacts are not uniformly positive or negative. •Broader circadian and light evidence emphasizes that morning light (more aligned with standard time in many regions) is often more beneficial for mood than evening light shifts from DST. Studies on bright light therapy for seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and depression show morning exposure is more effective at advancing circadian rhythms and reducing symptoms. Greater daytime light exposure (independent of DST) correlates with lower depression risk, while nighttime light increases it. •Supporting context: Genetic and chronotype studies link earlier sleep/wake times (more standard-time aligned) to ~23% lower depression risk per hour. Social jetlag and circadian misalignment (exacerbated by DST) are tied to higher anxiety, depression, and cognitive issues. Why Claims of Benefits Fall Short: Proponents sometimes cite more evening daylight for mood or activity, but evidence does not support net mental health gains. Reviews highlight that any “extra” evening light comes at the cost of darker mornings, which can worsen alignment for many people. Permanent DST proposals face opposition from sleep and mental health experts for similar reasons. In short, while natural daylight is beneficial for mental health, DST as a policy does not reliably deliver improvements and can introduce disruptions. Evidence is stronger for minimizing clock changes or favoring standard time alignments in many contexts.

@BellaRossUS @BeatleGurrrrl @HouseGOP @VernBuchanan Increased depression and substance abuse are quite common in areas where the sun sets at 4pm. Ever heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder?

PASSED! The Sunshine Protection Act makes daylight saving time permanent and eliminates biannual time changes. Congratulations, Rep. @VernBuchanan!

@SenRickScott You should have made it permanent STANDARD TIME, instead of repeating the failures of the past. So ridiculous.

I get asked about my Sunshine Protection Act all the time. It’s simple: Let’s leave the decision up to the states so we don’t have to change our clocks twice a year. I’m thrilled that the house has finally passed it. The Senate needs to take it up NOW and send it to President Trump‘s desk.

Who got to President Trump? I agree with his original post that Daylight Savings Time is TERRIBLE.

@FoxNews Why are you pushing this terrible decision? President Trump used to agree DST was horrible, wonder what changed?

If you hate 4 p.m. sunsets, Congress may finally have good news. A Trump-backed bill that would allow states to keep Daylight Saving Time year-round is moving closer to a full House vote after advancing out of the House Rules Committee. President Trump celebrated the move, calling the twice-a-year clock change a "ridiculous" ritual and urging Congress to pass the measure.

@RepGregSteube So, you’re the idiot we’ll blame when it fails miserably AGAIN, just like it did in the ‘70’s. Terrible.

The Sunshine Protection Act has been nearly a decade in the making. I fought for it in the Florida Legislature back in 2018, and now Congress is finally acting. It’s time to end the outdated ritual of springing forward and falling back. It’s time to LOCK the CLOCK! ⏰🔒☀️

@RepAdrianSmith You all are just really awful. Why are you bragging about passing the same thing that failed miserably in the ‘70’s? Dark mornings for children and rush hour, more fatalities, higher rates of obesity & strokes - you are all just idiots.

Tonight, I voted to make daylight saving time permanent—a position many of my constituents have urged me to take. I look forward to continuing to engage with my constituents to ensure that their voices are reflected in every vote I cast.

@pepesgrandma 👎

Looking good! With three out of four in the house voting for permanent daylight savings time, the obstinate senate should be a breeze too.

No DST! It failed miserably in the 70’s, yet our useless politicians are caving to the golf lobbyists. Terrible decision to make DST permanent. 😡

@RepMGS Thank you! No DST!

Permanent daylight saving time comes with serious health and safety concerns.

@RepRickAllen You are all just awful. 🙄 Why would you make the same disastrous decision that failed in the 70’s?

I consistently hear from Georgians in the 12th District who are sick and tired of resetting their clocks twice a year. We're one step closer! I just voted to pass the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent—eliminating the twice-yearly change. Help me urge the Senate to get it done!

@SenAshleyMoody You are all just awful. 🙄 Why would you make the same disastrous decision that failed in the 70’s?

Looking forward to this coming to Senate and giving every state the opportunity to also be a Sunshine State. 🔒 the ⏰

@RepGuthrie So dumb. No DST! All you’re doing is making kids go to school in the dark, causing more accidents & fatalities & worsening overall health. 👎

Today, the House passed the Sunshine Protection Act to end the biannual time change and keep the nation in Daylight Saving Time permanently. This will provide Americans with an extra hour of daylight in the evenings during the winter to enjoy the outdoors, visit family members, and more.

Ending Daylight Savings passes the House and now heads to the Senate!! Y'all support this as much as I do?

@PattyMurray You are an idiot. NO DST!

BREAKING: the House just passed my bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent! Leader Thune should bring this bill to a vote in the Senate so we can finally get this done. More sunshine. Less depression. Let's finally lock the clock!

@liz_churchill10 HUGE, STUPID MISTAKE! No DST!

The House just ended the twice-a-year clock torture forever. A President Trump-backed win…America finally gets permanent daylight…
