Summary

Hormone treatment and puberty blockers for children are a form of “child abuse,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says.

Paxton is in the middle of a battle to protect children from a radical left that wants to corrupt them.

“If you're going to sterilize a child, whether it's through some type of chemical process or whether it's through some physical process," he says, "that's child abuse in Texas. It's not legal."

Paxton joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss his efforts to protect Texas’ children, as well as investigations of popular social media site TikTok and a lawsuit against Meta/Facebook over privacy concerns.

Also on this episode, Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., sits down with us to discuss the confining dangers of Obamacare and the perils of government-enforced mandates.

We also cover these stories:

  • Russia launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine from several directions.
  • Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell calls on the U.S. to “ratchet the sanctions all the way up” on Russia.
  • Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, urges America and NATO to form an "anti-Putin coalition” in response to the invasion.
