House Passes Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent

BREAKING NEWS

CBS News   The House on Tuesday voted to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide, amid a yearslong push to end the twice-annual clock changes. The bill, titled the Sunshine Protection Act, passed in a 308 to 117 vote. In addition to keeping clocks shifted one hour ahead, which happens in the spring, the measure would allow states to use standard time if an exemption is in effect before the federal law is enacted. Hawaii and most of Arizona currently use standard time year-round. “I don’t really know anybody who wants to change the clock anymore,” said Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey on Monday as the House Rules Committee considered the measure. READ THE FULL STORY

Congressional investigators have expanded their scrutiny beyond Europe to confront a global wave of digital regulations that impact American technology companies. Earlier this month, the House Judiciary Committee released a report that cited a record $410 million fine levied by South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) against U.S-owned, South Korea-based company Coupang, accusing Seoul of weaponizing digital regulations to disadvantage American firms.

Commentary: Don’t Let Washington Kill SNAP Accountability Before It Starts

grocery shopping

For sixty years, the food stamp program has operated under an arrangement no family and no business would ever accept: one level of government runs the program, and another level of government pays for it. States sign people up, calculate benefits, and process the paperwork while federal taxpayers cover the bill. When the people writing the checks and the people doing the work are in different buildings, nobody watches the register.

The results are exactly what you’d expect. In fiscal year 2024, the federal government spent roughly $100 billion on SNAP, and at least $10.5 billion of it was lost to improper payments, according to the Government Accountability Office. That’s at least one dollar out of every nine going out the door in the wrong amount, to the wrong people, or both. Year after year, the error rates barely move because for the states responsible for them, errors are free.
