Trump shares Republican senator's phone number in feud over time switch

- On Saturday, President Donald Trump posted Senator Tom Cotton's cellphone number on Truth Social, urging Arkansas residents to pressure the lawmaker into supporting permanent daylight saving time legislation.
- Cotton has repeatedly argued that permanent DST creates dangerously dark winter mornings, warning children would head to school before sunrise and commuters would begin days in darkness.
- Callers overwhelmed the number Saturday, leaving the mailbox full, while Journalist Aaron Parnas and Progressive political strategist Drew Savicki shared screenshots of their attempts to contact the senator.
- When Newsweek called the number provided by Trump, the call went to voicemail with a message saying, "Sorry the mailbox is full." Cotton declined to comment on the criticism.
- Americans are set to turn clocks back on November 1, but the House-approved measure remains stalled despite 64 percent of Americans supporting elimination of twice-yearly time changes in a YouGov survey.
