  "account": "President Donald Trump urged supporters of the Sunshine Protection Act to personally call Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, to support making daylight saving time permanent. The bill, which passed the House in July with a 308-117 vote, still faces opposition in the Senate. Trump appeared to provide the personal cellphone number of Cotton, a Trump ally, in a social media post, writing, \"Tell Tom to, GET IT DONE!\" The bill would eliminate the need to change clocks twice a year and provide more daylight during the times Americans are most active, though critics argue it would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings. Cotton has previously expressed opposition to the bill, stating that he values putting Arkansas first and that his constituents do not want to deal with dark mornings.",
