  "summary": "President Donald Trump has shared Senator Tom Cotton's cellphone number in a bid to pressure lawmakers into backing legislation that would make daylight saving time (DST) permanent. Trump, who referred to Cotton as a friend, urged supporters to contact the senator directly via the number. The Sunshine Protection Act, a bipartisan bill, aims to eliminate the twice-yearly clock changes and keep the nation on DST year-round. However, Cotton has been a prominent opponent of the legislation, arguing that permanent DST would disrupt people's biological rhythms and reduce exposure to morning sunlight, which helps regulate sleep and alertness. Despite passing the House with bipartisan support, the bill faces significant procedural and political obstacles as the Senate is in recess until after the midterm elections.",
