What happens when Congress passes a bill to keep the government running, but actually hurts the American people? That's exactly what critics are saying about the GOP's new stopgap funding bill, which passed Tuesday. The bill would extend government funding at 2024 levels through the end of the fiscal year, forcing cuts to crucial services and programs that affect everyday Americans. For starters, this bill could leave vital public health programs—like research on cancer, Alzheimer's, and mental health—unfunded. Small businesses could lose crucial support from the Small Business Administration, paving the way for unchecked corporate interests. Worst of all, the bill may force drastic cuts to public services, including police, teachers, and critical health services for the homeless. Low-income families and public education programs could also face massive reductions. Critics say this is a temporary fix that could have lasting, harmful consequences for the American people.

The House has passed a government funding stopgap bill in a narrow 217-213 vote, maintaining federal services while adjusting key budget allocations.

Is distance learning just a pandemic-era stopgap, or does it have lasting potential in education?Virtual learning skeptics often assume that online education was a temporary fix—an emergency response rather than a viable long-term model. Many educators and policymakers still equate today's online learning with the chaotic transition of 2020, failing to recognize how far the field has come.In this episode, John Watson, founder and CEO of DLAC and the Digital Learning Annual Conference, joins us to challenge these misconceptions. As one of the leading voices in digital education, John has spent decades tracking the evolution of online learning, from early adoption to the cutting-edge innovations shaping its future.Key Insights & Takeaways:✅ Distance Learning Is Not a Pandemic Experiment—It's a Proven Model. • Many assume that online learning started with COVID, but John explains how digital education has been a long-standing movement with a robust foundation before the pandemic. • The abrupt shift in 2020 was emergency remote learning, not the structured, effective virtual programs that have been evolving for decades.✅ The Reality: Virtual Learning Expands, Not Replaces, Student Options. • Online courses are often the only way students can access AP classes, dual enrollment, or specialized subjects. • Hybrid and online programs are built on choice, allowing students to personalize their learning while maintaining flexibility.✅ The Future of Education Is Hybrid, Not Either-Or. • The next wave of education isn't about choosing between online and in-person—it's about blending the best of both. • DLAC attendees are shaping innovative hybrid models, where online learning enhances, rather than replaces, traditional schools.✅ Sustainability and Lifelong Learning Matter More Than Ever. • AI, virtual reality, and digital tools are reshaping education, but sustainable models require schools to focus on personalization and long-term adaptability. • John shares a powerful story of a student who went from nearly dropping out to excelling in a hybrid learning model, proving that online education creates futures, not just classrooms.Actionable Takeaway:Educators and policymakers must shift their focus from debating if distance learning has a future to optimizing its role in expanding educational access and personalization. The key isn't replacing in-person learning but designing flexible, high-quality options that meet students' diverse needs.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/18/2024): 3:05pm- Massive Year-End House Spending Bill. Catie Edmondson of The New York Times reports: “The stopgap spending bill congressional leaders agreed on this week began as a simple funding measure to keep government funds flowing past a Friday night deadline and into early next year, long after House Republicans elect a speaker and President-elect Donald J. Trump is sworn in. But by the time it was rolled out to lawmakers on Tuesday night, it had transformed into a true Christmas tree of a bill, adorned with all manner of unrelated policy measures in the kind of year-end catchall that Republicans have long derided. It is a 1,547-page behemoth of a package with provisions spanning foreign investment restrictions, new health care policies and a stadium for the Washington Commanders.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/us/politics/spending-bill-explainer.html 3:15pm- While speaking with CNN's Manu Raju, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) said he didn't realize that the proposed 1,500+ page stopgap spending bill included a provision that would increase the compensation of Congress members by nearly 40%.

In an interview with Clay Travis, Rep. Nancy Mace even said we can't rule out that they're from “outer space.” 4:15pm- Could the drones be coming from Pluto—a dwarf planet? Wait, is Rich allowed to say “dwarf”? The conversation inspires Rich to play one of Rep. Hank Johnson's most hilarious Congressional moments. 4:30pm- Brianna Lyman—Elections Correspondent at The Federalist—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 1,500+ stopgap spending bill.
