Mostly focused on climate, weather, geography, and sports. Plus some politics and urban planning.
I wonder if the temps are even colder to the SE of that.

This shift is declination. The angle of shifting is equal to latitude. So, at 90° it's fully up–down. At the equator, it's fully north–south (the shifting parallels the horizon).

These date displacements from the solstice reduce as you go poleward because of how the sun's path shifts. At high latitudes, the shift is very up–down; at low latitudes it's much more north–south. The more vertical the shift, the less impact the equation of time has on the date displacements.

Fair metric. Coolidge (Republican) was president 100 years ago (1923–29); he was fiscally conservative. Taft (1909–13) is arguably the first president to set a consistent trend of Republicans being fiscally conservative. Chester Arthur (1881–85) could work, but Teddy Roosevelt was a big exception.

Right. I can think of 2 shorter alternatives to match your wording:
• Adapting to the standard time change
• Adapting off of daylight saving time
"Adapting to standard time" also works and is even simpler.

"Look, I know the best subs. You won't find them in DC; you'll have to come down to Mar-a-Lago to try them sometime. And they don't need any extending. They're 12 inches and they're terrific."

Did they say there will be bread lines? If so, someone should remind them of the pizza lines there 🙃

Crucially, later hours. I understand the argument that even if schools start at 8:30 or later, the kids may still need to arrive 30+ mins early cuz the parents need to commute. Part of the answer is to open school doors early with staff supervision. The other part is fewer parents commuting early.

I think it's mostly about schools at this point. Parents don't want kids commuting in the dark. The compromise is to start schools after 8 am and adjust time zone boundaries east to alleviate western time zone areas (such as Indiana).

Those who prefer standard time would be the only ones who'd have to adjust the alarm if DST is used. You need a better argument. They exist, but that ain't it.

"If you want to get up an hour early" is referring to people who prefer standard time, not daylight time.

Take it with a grain of salt. I'm not a fan of that category because it covers a wide range of temps. It covers from the Gulf Coast to New Jersey (before recently creeping into the NYC metro area). It's a fair representation of summers, but it can be misleading the rest of the year.
