In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee ‌voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but the House never took up the measure in the face ​of opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states ​to opt out.

    *modern day republicans

    The OGs were cool back when the Republican Party was the progressive party that wanted to abolish slavery, give women the right to vote, etc.

    Then they did pulled the uno reverse card about 90 years ago, and the GOP started becoming America’s Conservative Party.

      Sure, but that is such a long time ago. The relevant thing is liberals vs. conservatives. In the 1850s Republicans were the liberal party. It’s funny how now they try to claim credit for Lincoln and it’s uh okay, so who is it that displays confederate flags now? Democrats?
