@wyhz72 @jordonkry36 @fakerustcohle @YoungbloodJoe @Polymarket How about the school children? We did this in the 70s and they ended in a year due to all of the complaints. Doctors and experts say Standard Time is more natural for the body.

@jordonkry36 @fakerustcohle @PebMet1 @YoungbloodJoe @Polymarket Driving to work is depressing in itself, a little darkness doesn't really make it worse. Experiencing activities during the day after work is a nice thing to have.

BREAKING: House votes 308-117 to make daylight saving time permanent, sending the bill to the Senate.

@TeapotMD @Polymarket They are wrong. Does no one read history? We did this in the 70s and was hated by almost everyone. That is why it was repealed.

@PebMet1 @Polymarket Around 90 Dems too. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@DougBillings @Boowhoooo Most medical experts and people want permanent standard time. Does congress and Trump purposely go the opposite?

@Boowhoooo That’s not being voted on. Daylight savings time is looking like it’s going to be passed! 👍👍👍🇺🇸

One hour. That’s all we’re talking about. One more hour of evening daylight with our families… our kids… our grandkids… our communities. Fewer dark commutes. More time outside. More Little League games. More backyard cookouts. More American life. It’s common sense. President Trump is backing the effort to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, and the House is moving it forward. Washington doesn’t always get it right. This time, let’s hope they do. Keep the sun shining. 🌞🇺🇸 Believe it. For the Republic! Cheers. Do you support making Daylight Saving Time permanent? Vote below! 👇 ❤️ = Yes 👎 = No

@DougBillings Fewer dark commutes? Most of us also have to commute in the morning where the sun will not come up until 08:30-09:15 in some areas in the winter. School children going to school. We did this in the 70s and people hated it. I guess you don't care the will of the people.

@Somaliland_Gov @Polymarket We did this in the 70s and it failed. We should be on standard time

@Polymarket This is the greatest thing the U.S. Government has ever done, since sending Men to space.

@TeapotMD @Polymarket It is, but republicans for some reason go against science.

@Polymarket I thought it was better to do permanent standard time?

@YoungbloodJoe @Polymarket Because the majority of the people want standard time, of course they go the opposite. We did this before and it failed. Some parts of the country will not see sunrise until close to 9AM in the the winter.

@Polymarket No damnit, we want STANDARD time to be permanent. I swear we need to fire everyone in government.

@SaveStandard @FoxNews MAGA is is so stupid and selfish, they will go the opposite of what everyone wants.

@FoxNews 9AM SUNRISES ARE WORSE (and fatal)! Stop the ridiculous Sunshine Protection Act. Replace with the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, for permanent Standard Time, MAHA, and states’ rights!

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.

@patrickbetdavid IMO, maybe they made millions from stock transactions based on Trump manipulating the markets with his on again and off again Iran comments. Not saying they did, but they are all millionaires.

Did you know the Mayor of NY City makes more money than: 1. Zohran Mamdani $258,750 2. Marco Rubio (Secretary of State) $250,600 3. Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense) $250,600 4. Scott Bessent (Secretary of the Treasury) $250,600 5. J.D. Vance (Vice President) $235,000 Here’s the kicker. Mamdani’s self appointed committee is asking for an 18.2% raise for Mamdani and his elected officials. His new salary would be $305,800. Even a democratic socialist is a deep down capitalist. The guy loves giving himself a raise with tax payers money.

@PaulFox13 As you can see in your comments, people want Standard Time. If the house goes with Daylight Savings, they would be willfully going against the will of the people.

This isn't the first time the U.S. has tried this. In 1974, during an energy crisis, Congress enacted permanent Daylight Saving Time. It was popular—until winter arrived. After months of dark winter mornings and public outcry over school safety, Congress reversed the law and we went back to the current system.

House of Representatives is scheduled to vote tomorrow on making Daylight Saving Time permanent. If it passes the House, the Senate will need to pass it before the President signs the bill into law. I think the extra light in the evening would be welcome by most, the late winter sunrises may be up for more debate. #Tampa

@PaulFox13 A majority of Americans and Medical Professionals say we should be on permanent Standard Time. We already tried permanent Daylight Savings in the 70s and it failed miserably.

Permanent standard time is better for a nation’s health.

@ChaletMocha @RogerSeheult Because MAGA's rule is to go against what the majority want. Science has no place in their brains.

@RogerSeheult I'm so sick of this whole debate. We already tried permanent DST. It was a massive failure in the 70s, reverted almost immediately. We have multiple states on permanent standard time and it's a complete success for them. What are we doing here?

“Daylight Saving Time puts the sun where I can actually make use of it. In the evening time and not before I wake up.” Tell me that you don’t understand circadian biology without telling me that you don’t understand circadian biology There is growing evidence that daylight entering the bedroom shortly before awakening helps the body transition from sleep to wakefulness. In a randomized crossover trial, 19 participants received natural daylight either for 20 minutes before waking, from dawn until waking, or not at all. Light during the final 20 minutes produced less sleepiness, less fatigue and greater alertness. Starting too early sometimes disrupted sleep. Wang X, et al. Building and Environment. 2025;273:112733. doi.org/10.1016/j.buil… In another crossover study, gradually increasing light for 30 minutes before awakening significantly increased the normal cortisol awakening response—the physiologic rise in cortisol that prepares the body for daytime activity. Thorn L, et al. Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2004;29:925–930. doi.org/10.1016/j.psyn… A third study found that simulated dawn beginning 30 minutes before waking produced a smoother rise in heart rate and better parasympathetic regulation during the transition from sleep to wakefulness—potentially reducing the abrupt cardiovascular stress of awakening. Viola AU, et al. Sleep Medicine. 2015;16:457–461. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25813092/ Together, these studies suggest that the body is designed to receive increasing light before or around the time of awakening. This improves morning alertness and influences hormonal and autonomic physiology. This is also one reason permanent Standard Time makes more biological sense than permanent Daylight Saving Time: Standard Time allows more people to awaken closer to natural dawn rather than forcing them to begin their day in darkness.

@RogerSeheult Why our congress will go the opposite, because science, (with data to back it), proves what you wrote. It goes against their anti-science mentality. They want permanent daylight savings becuase it is opposite of what the majority of medical professionals & people want.

@EricRSammons The Republicans in Congress are so stupid, the forget full time Daylight Savings failed on the 1970s. They will go against what the majority of the scientists, medical professionals, and people want.

I’d rather change clocks twice a year (as dumb as that is), than permanently be set on a time zone contrary to nature. Standard Time All The Time

Got the band back together for the STS-135 15th Anniversary events at the KSC Visitors Center last weekend. Great reuniting with friends, colleagues, and so many people from across the US and all over the world that came to celebrate. Always special to see Atlantis again.

The pieces for Artemis III are coming together at @NASAKennedy. The twin solid rocket boosters? They’re getting stacked. The launch team? They’re simulating the countdown. The heat shield? It’s now attached to the Orion spacecraft. Full steam ahead for Artemis III.
