President Joe Biden tore into Texas' 'cynical and dangerous' plan to investigate the parents of transgender children seeking gender affirming medical treatments, saying it amounted to 'weaponizing child protective services against loving families.' 'This is government overreach at its worst,' Biden said in a statement Wednesday night, saying Texas' Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's directive came about 'just to score political points.' Abbott was on the Republican primary ballot Tuesday - and handily won his race against a number of challengers to his political right.
