A bunch of my mom's friends and acquaintances have been gleefully telling her this is the last time they'll have to change their clocks. My mom knows better and has been informing them that no, that didn't pass Congress; but wtf? Has Fox news been lying about that too, or something?
No, but when it initially passed there was a huge amount of reporting on it that strongly implied it was a standalone bill with bipartisan support that would easily pass. It was actually a provision on a larger, contentious bill that is not expected to pass, but this wasn't in the initial reporting or ever followed up on. So I get why people have the wrong idea.

Unfortunately 7 (!) years later this is still true. One of these things has gotta move, and well one of them can't.
