my friend that just died never got married to the mother of his child or the partner that helped him raise the child later because he would have lost his disability benefits that he needed to survive
unfortunately it is pretty much clear from policy that people agree with that guy. there’s some push to change things but that guy would not be a promising sign msmagazine.com/2025/07/03/m...

horrible thing to say and not a good sign as disabled people are still fighting for marriage equality
Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

🚨BREAKING:
We just learned that the court in my lawsuit — Neguse et al. v. ICE — has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.
The rule of law will prevail.

Mega heat pumps are coming. It’s great to see that so many projects are now underway around the world.
There’s a real competition on who builds the biggest heat pump.
