President Donald Trump is urging the Senate to make daylight saving time permanent after the House overwhelmingly approved legislation that would end the twice-a-year ritual of changing clocks.
The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act in a bipartisan 308-117 vote back in July. The bill would keep clocks one hour ahead throughout the year, giving Americans later sunsets during the winter months while eliminating the "spring forward" and "fall back" time changes.
Despite clearing the House by a wide margin, the proposal has not yet received a vote in the Senate. Trump has personally pressed senators to approve the legislation, telling reporters in late July that he hoped the upper chamber would act.
"Hopefully the Senate's going to approve that one," Trump said.
Unless the Senate passes the bill and Trump signs it into law, Americans will still turn their clocks back one hour on November 1.
The Trump administration has revoked more than 175,000 visas from foreign nationals accused of committing crimes, violating visa requirements or threatening the safety of Americans, the State Department announced Monday.
The massive enforcement action represents another major step in President Donald Trump's effort to overhaul the immigration system and remove foreign nationals who abuse the privilege of entering the United States. The total has climbed sharply from January, when the department announced that more than 100,000 visas had been revoked since Trump returned to office.
Officials said the majority of the latest revocations followed encounters with law enforcement. Assault, driving under the influence, theft and drug crimes were identified as the most common reasons for losing a visa. Reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud and embezzlement also accounted for a significant share of the cases.

Newly released text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci's government-issued phone show the former White House COVID adviser privately discussing possible risks tied to mRNA vaccines in pregnant women, including a theoretical concern about miscarriage after the second dose.
The January 2021 exchange involved Fauci, then-CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, who later became President Joe Biden's surgeon general.
The messages were released Monday by Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., as part of their continuing review of Fauci's government communications.
Fauci noted that many people experienced significant cytokine-related symptoms and fever after receiving a second dose and said that reaction "theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester."
The disclosure is likely to fuel fresh scrutiny from Republicans who have spent years demanding more transparency about what federal health officials knew, when they knew it and how those uncertainties were communicated
A British radio worker mistakenly announced the death of King Charles III before panicking and fleeing the station after realizing the shocking message had gone out live over the airwaves.
The extraordinary mistake occurred during an afternoon broadcast of The Barry Marsh Show on Radio Caroline, a community station based in Essex, England. The incident unfolded on May 19 but received renewed attention Monday after Britain's communications regulator published the results of its investigation.
According to Ofcom, a staff member was performing maintenance on the station's main computer while the program's presenter broadcast remotely. During that work, the employee discovered three prerecorded audio files prepared for the eventual death of King Charles.
The files were accompanied by strict instructions and were only supposed to be used after the monarch's death had been officially confirmed. However, the employee reportedly played them "out of curiosity," apparently not realizing
Republican Paula Copenhaver pulled off a stunning comeback Monday after an Indiana recount erased incumbent State Sen. Spencer Deery's razor-thin primary victory, handing her the GOP nomination by three votes.
The Indiana Recount Commission formally certified Copenhaver as the winner after reviewing the District 23 race, finding she received 6,332 votes to Deery's 6,329. The outcome shifted after eight ballots that had originally been counted for Deery were rejected.
During the hearing, commission members said several ballots were thrown out because of "clerical errors" made by election officials.
The decision means the election was overturned months after Deery was initially declared the winner of the May 5 Republican primary by just three votes.
Copenhaver sought the recount on May 18, arguing that "illegal voting by unqualified voters" had undermined the integrity of the election after she narrowly lost to the first-term senator.

President Donald Trump signed a major executive order Monday calling for significant changes to the nation's childhood vaccination recommendations, including spacing out certain vaccines and giving parents and doctors greater flexibility over when children receive routine shots.
The order directs federal health officials to reassess the timing and sequencing of childhood vaccines and encourages administering vaccines individually rather than combining multiple immunizations during a single medical visit. Trump also called for the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, commonly known as MMR, to eventually be separated into three individual shots administered at different visits.
"Effective immediately, my administration is recognizing gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases, along with the MMR, which hopefully will be split up," Trump said during an Oval Office signing ceremony Monday.
The administration's plan builds on changes pursued by Health and Human Services
During a recent appearance on "The New Yorker Radio Hour" with editor David Remnick, Democratic Socialists of America national co-chair Megan Romer completely blanked out when asked to explain her plan to "tax the hell out millionaires."
During a discussion on the organization's views on taxes and wealth redistribution, Remnick asked whether the organization believed millionaires should exist at all. "I'm less concerned about millionaires, more concerned about billionaires. I don't have like a hard line where you're good, or you're bad," Romer replied.
Remnick followed up by asking how much wealth is too much, to which Romer replied with. "Yeah, I think the question is less about how much is too much and more about what are you doing to keep and maintain and get that wealth in the first place? I think most billionaires got their wealth because they exploited the working class in
Francesca Hong, a self-identified Democratic Socialist who is widely favored to secure the Democratic Party nomination for governor of Wisconsin, attempted to blame a number of her controversial tweets on her youthful desire to become a sports journalist. Despite her attempted walk-back, Hong was serving as an elected official when a number of the most viral posts were made.
A number of the posts were made in 2020. "Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621," Hong posted in November of that year. She then claimed that the beloved holiday — which was established as a national holiday by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, in order to promote unity during the Civil War — is rooted in "genocide."
Around the same period, she referred to Thanksgiving as a "colonizer holiday" in another post. Separate posts from that timeframe also expressed critical views of
Former PGA Tour golfer Matt McQuillan has died at 45, leaving the Canadian golf community mourning a player remembered as much for his character as his time on the course.
McQuillan died Wednesday at Kingston General Hospital in Ontario while surrounded by family, according to his online obituary. No cause of death has been announced.
After turning professional in 2003, the Kingston, Ontario, native earned his PGA Tour card through Q-School in 2010 and spent the following season competing against the world's best. During the 2011 campaign, he played in 21 PGA Tour events, made seven cuts and posted the best finish of his career with a tie for third at the John Deere Classic.
Following his playing career, Matt McQuillan returned home to Kingston, where he dedicated himself to teaching the game and helping develop young Canadian golfers.
The PGA Tour honored McQuillan in a tribute, noting
A horrific child-abuse case out of red-state Ohio is drawing national attention after a 7-year-old special-needs boy was allegedly tortured for an extended period before being found dead and bound with duct tape inside a Cincinnati apartment.
William Michael Evans-Ellis was discovered unresponsive in a closet Aug. 6 in the city's Oakley neighborhood.
His biological mother, Kaitlin Elizabeth Evans, 38, along with Kirby Rankin, 33, and Nessa Keaney, 23, have been charged with murder and child endangerment.
All three defendants have pleaded not guilty.
Investigators described a horrifying scene, alleging William suffered repeated beatings, blunt-force injuries, burns and other forms of abuse.
A veteran homicide detective told the court that the child was found with "a number of injuries that would indicate physical beatings, blunt force injuries."
Authorities also suspect William was choked and held underwater during the prolonged abuse.
The case took another disturbing turn as scrutiny shifted toward the
Lionel Messi has stepped away from Inter Miami following the death of his father and longtime representative, Jorge Messi, at age 68.
Jorge died in Rosario, Argentina, after battling a prolonged illness, according to Reuters. He had spent his final months receiving medical care while surrounded by his wife, Celia, and their children.
Messi is expected to remain in Argentina with his family for an indefinite period, with no timetable set for his return to Inter Miami.
The loss is especially painful for the soccer icon because Jorge was far more than his father.
He played a central role in Messi's career from the very beginning, helping move the family from Argentina to Spain when Lionel was just 13 so he could receive treatment for a growth hormone deficiency and pursue an opportunity with Barcelona.
Jorge remained closely involved as Messi rose from a teenage prospect into one of
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once urged Americans to find another way to celebrate the Fourth of July, arguing "fireworks suck" in one of roughly 100 YouTube videos that have since disappeared from public view.
The videos, many of which have since been removed from YouTube, are part of a broader online archive that has largely disappeared as El-Sayed campaigns for the U.S. Senate. According to a CNN KFile investigation, roughly 100 videos that were once public have been made private.
One July 2024 video urged viewers to reconsider Independence Day traditions, promising four reasons "why fireworks suck."
The episode included a segment titled "Fireworks just aren't worth it: hear us out," with El-Sayed pointing to Detroit's post-fireworks air pollution, chemicals used in fireworks, the potential impact on veterans with PTSD, and dangers posed to pets and children.
The fireworks episode is only one example of older
