## Resource

Ken Paxton is now the Republican nominee for Senate in Texas, and his victory says everything about the modern GOP. Despite years of indictments, impeachment, whistleblower allegations, corruption claims, and scandal, Donald Trump backed Paxton, and Republican voters rewarded him. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ breaks down why Paxton’s nomination is not just a Texas story. It is a national warning about a Republican Party that no longer treats scandal as a disqualification, but as a loyalty test. Subscribe for sharp political analysis, commentary, and accountability.
