Fox News: Texas AG sues Dallas for decriminalizing marijuana
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Dallas over Proposition R, which decriminalizes marijuana possession. He argues that the measure conflicts with state law, which criminalizes marijuana, and claims cities cannot override state legislation.
The lawsuit follows a directive from Dallas police not to enforce marijuana laws for small amounts. Advocates for the measure argue it reduces biased policing and saves public funds. Paxton has previously sued other Texas cities over similar decriminalization efforts.

The UK government respects the ICC's independence and has not ruled out the possibility of Netanyahu's arrest if he visits. Johnson's remarks highlight a growing divide in UK politics regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
