Opinion: Permanent daylight saving time sounds appealing until you realize your kids will board school buses in complete darkness all winter. indystar.com/story/opinion/…

@TheHeatCentral Well, if that’s not the Heat, then I don’t know what in the HELL is.

LeBron James on the deciding factors for his next team:
“You definitely look at fanbases wherever you may go and how they treat their team. What’s the legacy that’s been left there. You look at those factors but it’s not the deciding factor. I want to compete at a high level, join a franchise that shares the same model as myself. That’s practicing championship habits everyday… Being with a franchise and group of guys that has the same model of ‘we have to put the work in right here in September, October, and then what happens down the road will happen”

@SaveStandard Because “Standard Time” BLOWS CHUNKS, despite how “science supports that it’s healthier”: 4:30 - 5 PM sunsets in Winter and 4:30 - 5 AM sunrises in parts of the country during Summer SUCK.
English

Why dangerous permanent Daylight Saving Time? Why not healthier, safer permanent Standard Time?
Rick Scott@SenRickScott
Absolutely. Floridians are tired of changing their clocks — so are Americans across the country. Thank you, @VernBuchanan, for leading this in the House and getting The Sunshine Protection Act passed. Now, let’s get it done in the Senate.

Vance is done. There's no coming back for him. He will not be the nominee in 2028

Jewish Republicans are increasingly backing Marco Rubio for 2028, souring on Vance over his Israel remarks and silence on Tucker Carlson. jpost.com/american-polit…

I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas.
I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life.
But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.
If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas.
On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas.
They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters.
Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.
Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice.
But we see you.
Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes.
They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩

@GuntherEagleman This may well be the first time I’ve ever agreed with you on something. But yes, he absolutely is. Undeniably.

@mikepompeo @SenFettermanPA is about all that’s left. It’s SO sad.

@TomCottonAR WHO CARES! NO ONE WANTS A DAMN SUNSET before/around 5 P.M. in Winter! Depression is OFF THE CHARTS during that season on “Standard” Time with early sunsets! Over time, humans WILL adjust as needed anyway. It’s not like we’re swapping literal day and night here. Unreal.
English

Massively disagree.
I love you all my Florida friends, but you do not understand what it's like having seasonal depression due to the Winter.
Wake up - go to gym? Dark.
Go to work? Dark.
Come home from work? Dark.
I will gladly sacrifice the morning to have light later.
Julian Mille☈@ATLAreaWx
This will be such a nightmare.

@Weeezin You reversed 1 and 2, but I will take number 3 as you placed it.
English

My current rankings on what I think we should do about the daylight savings debate:
1. Not change anything. Switching the clock is preferable to permanent standard time and I’m willing to compromise.
2. Permanent DST. I walked to school in the dark in winter my entire life.
3. Permanent Standard time. Would be depressing and terrible. My life always gets happier when we switch back to DST and I don’t want the sun rising at 4:30 in the morning in the summer.

@DerrickEvans4WV @TrashDiscourse That’s not even remotely close to reality, but thanks for trying. You might want to ask your buddy REPUBLICAN Senator Tom Cotton about why HE is allegedly going to lead the charge to derail it. Also, it’s on to the SENATE now, NOT the House. 🙄
English

US House voted to make daylight saving time permanent, sending the bill to the house.
We all know there’s a Democrat judge ready to block it for some reason or another.
@TrashDiscourse 🤣

@ABC Good God, I can’t believe the Senate is about to screw this up after having passed it in 2022.
English

The House just passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, but ABC News' Jay O'Brien explains why the legislation might not have enough votes to pass the Senate. abcnews.visitlink.me/aOVMKs

The fight over daylight saving time is heating up after the House passed President Trump’s bill to stop Americans from changing their clocks twice a year.
Supporters say permanent daylight saving time would end disrupted schedules, give families more evening sunlight, and boost businesses across multiple industries.
But airlines are warning the change could ripple through aviation, impacting sunrise times, passenger schedules, crew and aircraft positioning, and coordination with global flight networks. Sleep experts are also pushing back, arguing permanent standard time is healthier than permanent daylight saving time because it better lines up with the body’s natural clock.
@Grady_Trimble has more.
