But it’s a short week, as the <a href=”https://federalnewsnetwork.com/category/temin/tom-temin-federal-drive/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Federal Drive</a> with Tom Temin learned from Bloomberg Government Deputy News Director Loren Duggan. <blockquote>Tom Temin: Loren, the omnibus packages that are coming forth to be voted on sometime during this week, presumably to get to the President’s desk, they have to finish those votes this week before they go on recess.

One year after Donald Trump led his supporters in an attempted coup against the United States, the nation is still very much in the throes of that attack.

When it comes to children’s education, parents know best, Laura Zorc says. As the mother of four kids herself, Zorc has been fighting for education reform since 2013, when her home state of Florida began adopting Common Core education goals. She successfully rallied a group of parents to stand against the federally funded learning standards. Now, she is training parents across the nation to be advocates for their own children in the classroom. “Just because we send our kids to these government public schools, that does not mean the moment…
