Senate Totally OK With Making Daylight Saving Time Permanent, Are You? (
Poll
)
Members of the US Senate unanimously passed a bill appropriately called "The Sunshine Protection Act" that would do away with "springing ahead" and "falling back." The vote went down Tuesday, March 15 — less than 48 hours after the clocks skipped ahead. So, are you in? (Story continues after poll). If the legislation passes the House and gets President Biden's stamp of approval, it would go into effect November 2023. The bill was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and backed by Dems Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Ed Markey of Massachusetts. Markey and Rubio argue in an Op-Ed on daylight sa…

Son Of Notorious Player In Giuliani, Trump Scandal Is Leading Pro-Ukraine Influencer On TikTok
Let's get one thing straight: Aaron Parnas is not his dad. The 22-year-old, who completed law school at George Washington University, has become a top news source on the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Meanwhile, his dad, Lev Parnas, played a key role in former President Trump's campaign in pressuring Ukraine into finding damaging information on then-rival and former Vice President Joe Biden…

You can view the on-air mistake in the tweet below. That's right, Biden did not squeeze a child's buns in the bread aisle at Walmart, no matter what you just saw. The video of the mistake had over 2 million views in less tha…

Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Means Higher PA Gas Prices
“Pain at the pump,” was a concern reporters pushed President Biden on during a press conference about the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Thursday. Although Biden urged the energy sector to not move prices, experts say the US is already feeling the pinch since tensions began to escalate between the two nations. “Any disruptions to oil flows from Russia in a context of low spare capacity in other regions could easily send oil prices to $120 (a barrel),” Natasha Kaneva, JPMorgan’s head of global commodities strategy, wrote in a report published earlier in February. Gas prices had already t…
