Trump doubles down on the $1.8 billion DOJ 'anti-weaponization' fund that derailed his own party's agenda in Congress — claiming he sacrificed a personal fortune to deliver 'justice' for others. Senate Republicans say they weren't consulted. The $72 billion reconciliation package now sits stalled with no clear path forward.

VIDEO: Charges dismissed against Trinidad water protestors as city hall closes @FOX4 ... TRINIDAD, Texas - A grand jury has now declined to indict a woman arrested over a Facebook post about water concerns in the City of Trinidad. This was a quick decision by a grand jury, as the woman is one of two arrests related to the water controversy that will not be moving forward. Citizen journalist Winston Noles goes by the name Otto the Watchdog. Last week, Noles' 80,000 YouTube subscribers had live access of his arrest for holding up a sign outside the Trinidad Police Department. On Wednesday, FOX 4 shared an exclusive interview with Jennifer Combs, a citizen journalist arrested for a Facebook post, reading, "We have received reports that some citizens have been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. This is a serious public health concern that deserves immediate attention." FOX 4 has received images from residents of deeply discolored water. City leaders admit there’s a water issue that’s been going on for years, but Chief of Police Charles Gregory says no one has been hospitalized and in a social media post of his own said Combs’ post "creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community." The police department charged her with felony false alarm or report. Combs, who says she was simply trying to investigate, maintains people have reported hospitalization, and the mayor says he’s at least seen social media posts claiming the same. "So I came out to Trinidad because I found out that the Chief of Police had arrested a lady for making a Facebook post," said Noles. He protested Combs’ arrest with a sign we cannot show on television, reading, "*expletive* bad cops." "We are in a crisis with the First Amendment right now," said Noles. "I don’t like the bad part of law enforcement. I like good cops." 18-minutes into Noles’ livestream, he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct for the sign. "What they did to me was so clearly unconstitutional that any reasonable officer should’ve known better," said Noles. On Thursday, however, Trinidad’s municipal judge said Noles’ case is being dismissed, and a Henderson County Grand Jury no-billed Combs’ case, meaning it’s dismissed due to a lack of evidence. Now, for unknown reasons, Trinidad’s City Hall is now closed until next Tuesday, while many continue to ask what exactly is going on with the water? The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality confirms to FOX 4 that an investigation into the city’s water is ongoing.

LINE IN THE SAND: @JohnCornyn rejects the @TexasGOP Chair’s plea to halt negative campaign ads in the runoff against @KenPaxtonTX . Cornyn said he is "not going to stop telling the truth about Ken Paxton" Earlier this week President Trump endorsement for Paxton. #TXSEN @FOX4

Going away message from Jason Kidd

.@TeamCornyn: "Judgement Day is coming for Ken Paxton, maybe in more ways than one. But the election on May the 26th is the first time that he will actually have been held accountable for all of his misdeeds."

Pickle Smoothie: Yay or Nay? 🥒🥤 I didn't hate it, but @fox4lauren and Madi’s faces said it all... Let’s just say the taste was "unique." 😂 Would you risk it? @FOX4 #smoothieking #grillos #ThePost

The Cornyn Campaign response to pulling negative ads “We need a few more days to burn in the fact that you plea bargained with a child sex offender, offering them only one day in prison and no sex offender registry as a favor to Nate Paul's lawyer.” @FOX4

Ken Paxton and the main super PAC supporting him say they’re done running ads against John Cornyn ahead of Tuesday’s runoff:

Maybe not wishful thinking by GOP Chair @abrahamgeorge @KenPaxtonTX “We have already changed our TV ad traffic starting today to ensure our campaign ends on a positive note and that we can focus on beating the leftist lunatic in the fall.“ @FOX4

Wishful thinking from the Texas GOP Chair?? @abrahamgeorge is calling on @KenPaxtonTX and @JohnCornyn to "pull negative" ads. This days after President Trump put his finger on the scale. #TXSEN @FOX4

The Dallas Police Department’s new Drone as First Responder program officially launched today with eight remotely piloted drones based at Dallas Fire-Rescue stations across the City of Dallas. These drones are operated out of the Fusion/Real Time Crime Center and are designed to respond to calls for service in a two-mile radius from their base station. The base locations were selected based on heat maps of calls for service for both police and fire, placing them where they can potentially respond to the greatest number of calls. The pilots will be able to get to the scene quicker than in a squad car and begin to provide real-time intelligence and feedback to officers, as well as reduce the level of response or clear a call entirely if the incident has resolved. If a pilot sees a call in a drone’s response area where aerial intelligence can enhance officer safety, they can deploy a drone to provide critical updates to officers at the scene. Each drone is equipped with a thermal camera to help during nighttime operations, as well as a loudspeaker to make announcements to individuals on the ground. “I challenged our team to find innovative ways to continue improving our response times, and this new drone unit will not only keep officers free to respond to more calls, but provide real time updates as they are responding to calls,” said Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux. “Even during our training, our pilots were able to clear three holding calls in an hour with one drone. That alone proved their value to us, and I’m looking forward to seeing the benefits in both officer safety and response times.” Our public safety partners at Dallas Fire-Rescue will also be utilizing the Drone as First Responder program, with training for pilots underway. Under the new program, in the event of a reported structure fire, a drone will be dispatched to the scene ahead of arriving apparatus. This real-time aerial perspective will allow incident command to assess the size, scope, and intensity of a fire before firefighters even step off the apparatus. “Dallas Fire-Rescue is proud to collaborate with DPD on any initiative that will make our city safer,” said Justin Ball, Chief of Dallas Fire-Rescue. “By strategically docking the drones at our fire stations in high-demand areas, we are optimizing our response times and ensuring our tactics are more precise, while adding an extra layer of protection for the city.” This collaborative partnership between police and fire departments represents a major step forward in using smart-city technology to protect both residents and first responders.

Asked Sen. John Cornyn why stay in race after Trump endorsed Paxton. “Only Texans get to vote, and we've had two days of early voting. It looks very encouraging, and I believe that we still have a very good chance of winning in the race.” Said Paxton would be a “drag” on ticket

🙏🏾💛 We lost a good journalist and an even greater person. Praying for Cynthia’s family. She touched many lives, on and off camera.

President Trump is on a hot streak of ousting incumbent Republicans. His latest target is Sen. John Cornyn in Texas. Trump said it’s about loyalty and is siding with @JohnCornyn’s rival, @KenPaxtonTX in the Runoff next Tuesday.   #TXSEN @FOX4
