Political Wrap-Up – Pushing Limits – January 16, 2026

What defined disability in the headlines this past year — progress, controversy, or both? Bob Kafka This Friday, Pushing Limits looks back at some of the most talked-about moments in the disability world. From a clergyman seeking a federal lawsuit after preaching that disabled people shouldn’t marry, to the mixed bag of disability policy coming out of California’s state government. And we’ll dig into a debate that sparked plenty of opinions: should pregnant women be allowed to park in blue zones? Join Pushing Limits for a year-end wrap-up you won’t want to miss.
