Set against the backdrop of China’s rise in tech, its long record of IP theft, and recent acts of cyberaggression, the significance of the TikTok controversy comes into focus. This isn’t some run-of-the-mill corporate dispute but a crucial battle in a new cold war.

For months, Republicans and Democrats have been at loggerheads over a broad stimulus package—but a permanent switch to Daylight Saving Time would be a stimulus package all on its own. It would boost economic growth, ease the mental health crisis, reduce crime and even save lives. That’s why Congress must act now. The clock is ticking, and we can’t afford to move it back.

That our nation has developed many, if not most, of the world’s modern life-giving, lifesaving medical treatments is a shiny fiber that runs through the strong fabric of the American Dream.

Long ago, on the eve of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln made a heartfelt plea to the American people: Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory … will yet swell … when again touched … by the better angels of our nature. In a nation as divided as ours, how can we answer Lincoln’s call?
