The US Senate just passed a bill that would make Daylight Savings Time permanent, starting in 2023. From Reuters:

The House of Representatives, which has held a committee hearing on the matter, still must pass the bill before it can go to President Joe Biden to sign. The White House has not said whether Biden supports it[…]
"I know this is not the most important issue confronting America but it is one of those issues that there is a lot of agreement. … If we can get this passed, we don't have to do this stupidity anymore," [one of the bill's sponsors Senator Marco] Rubio added. "Pardon the pun, but this is an idea whose time has come."
Arizona and Hawaii, which don't participate in this time-change stupidity, would remain on standard time.
