Oh, the hypocrisy.
Last month, the Attorney General couldn’t wait to get in front of a camera and take a victory lap over his big Meta settlement — going after the company for algorithms that hook our kids, wreck their mental health, and push vulnerable teenagers toward self- harm.
Good. He was right.
This month? Same office. Same kids. Now he’s in court fighting to make YOU — the taxpayer — pay for puberty blockers and hormones for those very same vulnerable teenagers. The ones the research keeps telling us got swept up by the exact social-media contagion he just sued Meta over.
So which is it, Mr. AG?
You can’t stand up on Monday and say social media is a mental-health emergency for teenage girls — and then on Tuesday demand the state drug them for the confusion it caused. On the public dime. For kids who can’t legally buy a cigarette, a beer, or a scratch ticket.
This AG has forgotten what government is even for.
The first job of any government — federal, state, or town — is to give its citizens certainty. Consistent rules. A steady hand. The law applied the same way today as it was yesterday. When a lawyer for the people is driven by politics instead of law, you get the opposite: whiplash. You sue a company for one thing — and then, within weeks, you go to court to fund the very harm you just condemned.
He doesn’t know what he wants. But he knows what gets him a headline.
And here’s the part that should stop everyone cold: even progressive Europe looked at this and slammed on the brakes. The UK. Sweden. Finland. They studied the evidence
and pulled back — hard. Our Attorney General is running the other way as fast as he can and calling it “compassion.”
It’s not compassion. It’s reckless. These are permanent, life-altering decisions being pushed on kids who are still trying to figure out who they are — and a real People’s lawyer would protect them, not put them on a conveyor belt.
He might even win his lawsuit on some legal technicality. Fine. Being allowed to do something has never once made it right.
The ABC AG strikes again.
Chasing headlines is easy, Mr. AG. Protecting kids — and giving Connecticut families some consistency for once — is the job.
