Well, It Looks Like We Know What Donald Trump Will Do About Daylight Saving Time Now
Daylight saving time is one of the most divisive issues in American society.
In the past, Donald Trump spoke about the possibility of ending daylight saving time altogether.
But back in March, it seemed like he wasn't a big fan of ending it anymore.

"This one should be the easiest one of all," he said. "It's a 50/50 issue, and if something is a 50/50 issue, it's hard to get excited about it. I assume people would like to have more light later, but some people would like to have more light earlier because they don't want to take their kids to school in the dark."
"It's a little bit one way, but it's very much a 50/50 issue," he continued. "It's something I can do, but a lot of people like it one way. A lot of people like it the other way. It's very even. And usually, I find when that's the case, what else do we have to do?"

Judging from that answer, it seemed like he wasn't going to chime in on this again! Case closed.
Well, on Thursday, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee held a hearing discussing daylight saving time versus standard time, and today Donald Trump has firmly confirmed which side he is on.

Hungary's Orban lauds MAGA advance after Nawrocki's win in Poland
BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday that nationalist Karol Nawrocki's victory in Poland's presidential election was "fantastically good", hailing the success of an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump. Eurosceptic Karol Nawrocki narrowly won the Polish presidential election on Sunday, delivering a big blow to the efforts of Donald Tusk's centrist government to cement Warsaw's pro-European orientation. "From a Hungarian perspective, I think the outcome is fantastically good, as there is a pro-Ukrainian, pro-war, pro-Brussels liberal government operating in Poland," Orban said in an interview on state Kossuth radio. Orban, also an ally of Trump, said he interpreted Nawrocki's victory as the "continuation of the patriot's advance." "One could also say that the 'Washington Express' has arrived in Warsaw," Orban said, alluding to Nawrocki's election as a victory for European conservatives inspired by Trump and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Both Tusk's government and its conservative nationalist predecessor have been staunch supporters of Ukraine in the war triggered by Russia's 2022 invasion and have been critical of Orban's tilt towards Moscow. Nawrocki has said Poland must continue to support Kyiv's war effort, but in a break with the policy of previous governments in Warsaw, he opposes NATO membership for Ukraine. For his part, Orban has refused to send weapons to Ukraine since the start of the war and kept close relations with Moscow. Orban publicly endorsed Nawrocki ahead of the second round of Poland's election.

White House Finally Responds to Elon Musk's Bombshell Epstein Claims
The White House has responded to Elon Musk's shocking claims about President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's purported relationship. In an X post Thursday, Musk brazenly accused the Trump administration of withholding files related to Epstein's sex trafficking investigation because the president himself was mentioned in them. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' Musk alleged. 'Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to Musk's accusations hours later, telling CNN's Samantha Waldenberg in a statement Thursday night: 'This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' because it does not include the policies he wanted.' 'The president is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again,' she continued. The White House did not respond to the Daily Beast's request for comment on Musk's accusations. Epstein was accused of sex trafficking minors in 2019. He pleaded not guilty. A month after his arrest, he died by suicide in a prison cell, according to authorities. The disgraced financier and the president had a documented friendship in the 1990s and early aughts, but ultimately had a falling out in 2004 over a piece of real estate, per The Washington Post. When probed on Epstein's arrest in 2019, Trump responded to a reporter: 'Well I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I mean, people in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think I've spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn't a fan. I was not—yeah, a long time ago, I'd say maybe 15 years. I was not a fan of his. That I can tell you. I was not a fan of his.' The president has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein nor was he ever implicated in Epstein's alleged abuse of minors. Musk and Trump have had their own falling out in recent days, largely due to an innate disagreement over a budget proposal the president is advocating for. The bill, which Trump has described as 'big' and 'beautiful,' lists out a number of the president's favored domestic policies on tax, government spending, and immigration. Musk has criticized the bill, arguing that it would drive up the federal budget deficit and undo the Department of Government Efficiency's cost-cutting efforts. 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday. 'I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,' he added in another post.
