BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.
🦅 Tim Merlier’s incredible sprint – he came back from way behind and still managed to clinch victory by more than a bike’s length!

Nobody is telling you how INSANE America's 250th birthday flyover schedule actually is.
Everyone's talking about "fireworks" and "a parade."
Nobody is talking about the fact that DC is about to run SEVEN STRAIGHT HOURS of military airpower starting 1:15 PM ET.
Not a flyover. A full-day aerial campaign.
→ VC-25B — the NEW Air Force One — leading the formation
→ Air Force tri-bomber wave — three bombers in one pass
→ Stealth airpower slot — B-21 speculation is real 👀
→ Blue Angels AND Thunderbirds — same day, same sky
Every single branch is flying. Not one. ALL of them.
→ F-22 / F-35 demo teams
→ Navy F-35C + F/A-18 Super Hornet
→ MV-22 Osprey
→ Army + Coast Guard helicopters and fixed-wing
→ Golden Knights + Leap Frogs parachute jumps
This doesn't just beat past July 4ths. This changes what a "flyover" even means. Forever.
2025 gave you three jets and a few minutes over the White House.
2026 is giving you a full military fleet review from 1:15 PM until the largest fireworks show in American history at 10:30 PM.
This is not a celebration. This is the entire US military showing the world what it has.

This #IndependenceDay, we're exploring the historic links between the Abbey and the United States - including two memorials which unite the UK and the US in remembrance.
Buried in the Abbey is the Unknown Warrior, whose body was brought from the battlefields of the First World War and given a State Funeral.
Arlington National Cemetery in Washington is home to the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, the final resting place of US service personnel from the First World War and more recent conflicts.
Earlier this year, members of our Choir visited Arlington during their tour to the US and paid their own tribute at the tomb, which just like the Warrior's grave in the Abbey, stands as a powerful tribute to all who have given their lives in the service of their country.
And great to see today on July 3 above us in DC a preview of the wide variety of U.S. aircraft we will see tomorrow on July 4 - thanks to the pilots and crews of all the aircraft types
The @AFThunderbirds arrived in Washington D.C. earlier this week, and flew a site survey and practice demonstration yesterday over the National Mall ahead of tomorrow evening’s Salute to America 250 🇺🇸
