Trump says Congress should push 'for more Daylight at the end of a day'
President Donald Trump is weighing in on a national debate, apparently calling on Congress to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. "The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day. Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!" the president declared Friday morning in a post on Truth Social. Most parts of the U.S. participate in the twice-annual time changes when clocks are either set forward or backward by one hour. When clocks "spring forward" by an hour, that represents the switch to Daylight Saving Time. 'Stop The Clock': Gop, Dems Come Together To End Daylight Saving Over Health, Economic Risks "The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn't! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation," Trump declared in a December post on Truth Social. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House on Friday to request a comment, but has not yet received a response. Read On The Fox News App Trump's Daylight Saving Time Plan And Sleep: What You Must Know Earlier this year when asked when he would eliminate Daylight Saving Time, the president called the matter a "50-50 issue," noting that while he assumes people would prefer "more light later," there are some people who prefer more light early in the day. While they hail from different sides of the political aisle, Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., both expressed support for the idea of ending the annual changes between Daylight Saving Time and Standard time during a hearing on Thursday. We Live In Time: Daylight Savings And The 'Time Lords' Of Congress The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing was titled, "If I Could Turn Back Time: Should We Lock the Clock?"Original article source: Trump says Congress should push 'for more Daylight at the end of a day'

Wordle hints today for #1,370: Clues and answer for Thursday, March 20
Hey, there! We hope you're having a great week. It sure is nice to have the sun setting later in the evening now that Daylight Savings has started in North America. While you're perhaps waiting for today's sunset, there's a new round of Wordle to check out. In case you need some help to extend your streak, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Thursday's puzzle (#1,370). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,300 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Wednesday, March 19 — SPARK Tuesday, March 18 — TIMER Monday, March 17 — LASSO Sunday, March 16 — STAMP Saturday, March 15 — LADLE Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: Pour melted fat or juice over meat while it cooks. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is B. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... BASTE Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

Daily Briefing: Meet Mark Carney
Daily Briefing: Meet Mark Carney Canada's new prime minister has his sights set on fighting President Donald Trump's tariffs. Wildfires blazed over the weekend in the Hamptons. Did actor Gene Hackman even know his wife was dead? 🙋🏼♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert, Daily Briefing author. Groggy this morning? Blame Daylight Savings. Harvard grad. Former banker: Meet Canada's new prime minister "Donald Trump has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we earn a living. He's attacking Canadian workers, families, and businesses. We can't let him succeed and we won't." ~ Incoming Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in his first speech since being elected as Liberal Party leader on Sunday. He directly spoke about President Trump and the threat against Canadians. Wildfires break out on Long Island New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency after wildfires blazed Saturday afternoon in the Hamptons. There is no threat to homes at this time, officials said, but fires are burning close to roads and drivers, and smoke could be seen for miles. Strong winds and dry conditions kept one fire burning, Long Island officials said. There was no indication of when the remaining fire would be contained. More news to know now Wake up slowly with today's crossword. Sally's hint: FaceTime. Mass layoffs are coming for Veterans Affairs Veterans groups, Democrats and some Republicans have voiced concern over planned reductions at the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is seeking to cut more than 80,000 workers from the agency starting in June. The scale of the layoffs at the VA is greater than proposed cuts at other agency and will hit a department that looks after a group that typically garners wide bipartisan support in the U.S., its military veterans. Advocates say the cuts veterans' health benefits in "grave danger." A Truth Social post, a dinner and a reported feud Shortly after President Donald Trump attempted to clamp down on a recent report of an explosive cabinet meeting between billionaire Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he ate dinner with the duo. The dinner follows a New York Times report that Musk and Rubio clashed at a Cabinet meeting last week, with Trump present, about the former senator failing to cut his staff. The Times reported Rubio had been "privately furious" with Musk for weeks as DOGE gutted the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which was being overseen by the ex-Florida lawmaker. The argument, according to the Times, dragged on for an "uncomfortable time." Today's talkers A mask, a cane and a frantic dog: The final hours of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa Betsy Arakawa was already dead, splayed on a bathroom floor of the Santa Fe home she shared with celebrated actor Gene Hackman, who didn't make any calls or otherwise ask for help for the seven days he outlived his wife. Hackman, 95, racked by advanced Alzheimer's disease, then died in a mudroom on the other side of the house, a cane and sunglasses nearby. What exactly did Hackman do during that time? Photo of the day: Taking the walk in Selma Thousands made the pilgrimage to Selma, Alabama, on Sunday to the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a day that lead to passage of the Voting Rights Act and enact real change in the nation. As marchers crossed the bridge at about noon, rain began to fall while they sang "We Shall Overcome."
