to this day

Up until present

To this day marks that something remains true from some past time up through the present moment.

It emphasizes persistence or continuation, often with a note of surprise or significance: To this day, no one knows what happened to him.

The phrase typically introduces facts that have endured despite the passage of time: She never apologized, and to this day it still bothers me.
