@RogerSeheult You must have people with COPD who still smoke? people choose to do things that are bad for their health despite knowing otherwise. Unfortunately, in this case, the majority might be deciding for those who are more health conscious.

@pati_marins64 seems like all that money for new drone program is pulling funds away from front line troops. Drones are cool and all, but can they capture and hold territory?

@mercoglianos Someone smells a $1.5 trillion defense budget...

@CENTCOM you mean you're targeting civilian infrastructure like water treatment plants and grain storage facilities?

[svdaedalus @svdaedalus]

@Glenn_Diesen The question I have is Russia now using Iran to weaken the US?

[svdaedalus @svdaedalus]

@stellarman22 He already bombed a water treatment facility.

🚨🚨🚨🚨Today the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide.

This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up.

The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong:

• Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock.
• Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most.
• Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
• Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time.
• The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology.

The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health.

If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on.

Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference.

@LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.

@Megatron_ron So if Trump used a nuke in Iran, would it then be ok for Russia to use one against Ukraine?

@MilitarySummary @grok says he flew military transport directly out of Kiev back to Washington without taking a train back to Poland. Not sure if any OSINT guys have tracked such a flight.

@SullyCNBC @zerohedge Let's hope the US stops bombing innocent Iranians soon. We've killed too many school children, dont you think?

@mark_slapinski Did someone tell @ScottJenningsKY ?

[svdaedalus @svdaedalus]

@CrazyVibes_1 Hey @grok is this a true story? Do you know when it happened?

[svdaedalus @svdaedalus]

@mercoglianos Any seamen injured?

[svdaedalus @svdaedalus]

@BowesChay I was there last September. Its definitely big!

[svdaedalus @svdaedalus]

@TheTNHoller @thelauracoates @ScottJenningsKY How about Joe Biden?
