Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and wife announce divorce on 'biblical grounds' [View all]

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/10/ken-paxton-divorce-00447521

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife Angela announced their divorce on Thursday, with his wife citing “biblical grounds” as cause for their split.
The divorce could complicate the effort by Paxton — who has previously overcome criminal charges and impeachment — to challenge Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in one of the most closely-watched primary battles ahead of next year’s midterms.

The grounds are irrelevant to me. Just do it!
