To all the Arsenal fans, thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.

Once a Gunner, always a Gunner.

America already made daylight saving time permanent once. In December 1973, 79% of Americans supported it and Nixon signed it into law. By February 1974, eight weeks into the experiment, support had collapsed to 42%. The policy never changed. Winter arrived.

Sunrise in Washington DC came at 8:27am. Kids left for school in total darkness, carrying flashlights and wearing reflective tape. When Congress moved to repeal, members cited the deaths of eight Florida schoolchildren in the first weeks of the change.

The energy case collapsed too. The whole point was the oil embargo, and the Department of Transportation concluded the fuel savings were too small to matter. Ten months after signing it, Congress repealed it and Ford put the country back on standard time.

There's a mechanism that makes this cycle repeat: permanent DST is only ever voted on when the sun is up. Polls run in the abstract, votes happen in warm months, and the benefit, a free hour of evening light, is easy to imagine year-round. The cost is concentrated in about 10 weeks of dark winter mornings and only becomes real after implementation. So the policy polls beautifully right up until January.

Today's vote happened in July. The 1974 law passed in December, right before the exact winter that killed it. If this clears the Senate, the first real test arrives in January 2027, when sunrise in Indianapolis comes after 9am.

Sleep researchers have watched this loop for 50 years, which is why the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the AMA, and the National Sleep Foundation all back the opposite reform, permanent standard time. Congress just picked the one version of clock reform America has already tried, hated, and repealed.

Barrett and Roberts joined the Court’s three liberals to preserve late-arriving mail ballots in states like California.

Reminder: slow CA results mainly stem from tabulation and signature verification, not late arrivals. Only ~4% arrived from E+1 to E+7 this June.

The misogynistic smearing of a former First Lady at a White House event sanctioned by a President … is a stain that will not be removable

The point is that if Trump got his way Balogun would not have become a citizen at birth.

the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Always remember: they go on weird tirades like this because they’re too low IQ to talk about the economy their cult leader broke

This insanely expensive stunt was brought to you by the same people who cut Medicaid because “we don't have the money.”

I will never get used to this kind of obscenity being used in an official statement by the White House Communication Director.

The White House no longer aspires to lead from a higher moral vantage point, it seeks to fight in the mud with the pigs.

Donald Trump recently posted that I am "a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record." 🙄

In 2020, my team and I defeated him in 64 of 65 cases.⚖️

Today we beat DOJ in two more voter file cases. We are now 7-0.💪

I guess I'm not so terrible after all...😂

The investigation and arrests happened during the Biden administration so I’m not sure why he’s trying to take credit.
