False.

Scientific research from sources like Stanford Medicine and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine shows permanent standard time better supports health by reducing circadian misalignment, obesity, and stroke risk compared to permanent DST.

Permanent DST provides extra evening daylight that may boost some economic activity and lifestyle options but increases morning darkness, potentially raising safety risks for commuters and children.

It’s clear that, as a Senator from Florida, you’re in one of the few states where evening outdoor activity remains practical even in January. For most of the country, however, permanent DST would mean dangerously dark winter mornings - later sunrises that harm sleep patterns, increase morning traffic accidents, and disrupt school schedules for children. This push appears heavily tailored to benefit industries like golf, which would gain extra playable daylight during winter months.

@RepMcClintock The current system, imperfect as it is, is far better than permanent DST. Permanent Standard Time is the way to go.

I was a kid in 1974 when we tried year-round DST. It sucked then and it’ll suck now. This is really about Florida golfers squeezing in extra afternoon rounds during winter months - the one place where late daylight actually makes sense in January. Everyone else gets darker, dangerous winter mornings, groggy kids heading to school, and worse health outcomes just so a few can play more golf. No thanks. Permanent standard time is the way to go.

Little League is not played in January. Most people are not engaging in outdoor activities in January with exception of states like Florida. This is about Florida golfers getting in more rounds in the winter the expense of other states that deal with late sunrises and the consequences thereof. Not suprising that Trump supports it since he live sin Florida. On this, he is wrong.

@molmccann The problem was the premise that the seat vacated by RBG had to be filled by a woman rather than the best originalist jurist available - which is exactly how we ended up with ACB.

[James S @VeloJames67]

@archer_thirteen Yes, it we did. I was 7 at the time and hated it. Like many things, people that were not around in 1974 think that “it will be different this time”.

@kerrydougherty So then they get home later and left with the same hours of evening daylight that they now have? Problem persists. smh

@RepRussFulcher What a bunch of BS. You ask for feedback from Idahoans but use poll on X which is 1. not limited to Idahoans 2. not scientific.

[James S @VeloJames67]

Who the heck is exercising outdoors in the evening in January? The only people that benefit from extra daylight in January are Floridians. This was tried before and people hated it. This why people despise Congress, you truly don’t care what is best for constituents or what they prefer.
