Democrats Cry FOUL Alleging Election Interference
Democrat candidate for Lt. Governor is claiming a PAC is interfering in the Democratic primary runoff for Lt. Governor.
VikkiGoodwin.com:
Documents circulated publicly this week describe a TMP-backed “civic education” program that paid participants $100 to attend classes promoting Rep. Goodwin’s opponent, while testing what the memo itself described as the “persuasive impact” of the program on voters.
“Texas Democrats deserve campaigns built on trust, transparency, and organizing, not billionaire-backed political experiments designed to shape voters behind the scenes,” said Rep. Goodwin. “In just a few days, we may find out whether TMP’s experiment to manipulate Democratic voters was successful.”
Rep. Goodwin also pointed to Texas Ethics Commission filings showing more than $500,000 in support for her opponent connected to TMP-backed efforts during the race.
The winner of the Democratic primary ruinoff for Lt. Governor would have to face Lt. Gov Dan Patrick.
Let’s just say the odds don’t look great for the Dems:

Child Rapist Out Early for Good Behavior
Former Waco attorney Adam Hoffman was released early from jail after serving only 29 days for good behavior, following his guilty plea to sexually abusing a young boy over multiple years.
The initial please deal offered by the Texas Attorney General was for Hoffman to plead guilty to two Class A Misdemeanors and a recommended sentence of time served (therefore only 1 day in jail) plus he could keep his law license.
At sentencing in April, the Judge doubled the jail time to 60 days while keeping the other terms including no sex offender registration.
State Rep Jeff Leach expressed frustration over Hoffman’s release on X:
Controversy centered on Hoffman’s defense attorney, Gerry Morris, who also represented Attorney General Ken Paxton’s former business associate Nate Paul. Paul was a major donor and a central figure in the failed impeachment trial of Paxton. Many people are saying that Morris’s connection to Paxton helped secure a lenient plea deal.
According to court records, Hoffman repeatedly raped and showed pornography to a young boy for several years when the boy was only 6 years old.
Texas City Solves Water Crisis by Arresting People Who Mention It
A Henderson County grand jury declined to indict Jennifer Combs on Thursday, and a Trinidad municipal judge dismissed disorderly-conduct charges against Winston Noles on the same day. Both had been arrested for talking in public about the City of Trinidad’s water.
Trinidad City Hall responded by closing for several days.
Probably unrelated.
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.
They arrested shawty.
Some guy then showed up to the police station to make fun of the police for arresting her. They then arrested him!
Just 4 weeks ago, the city issued a boil notice to residents because the water may have been unsafe to drink.
Apparently talking about it is the real crime. The mayor, also via FOX 4, conceded he had “at least seen social media posts” alleging the water had made people sick.
A grand jury no-billed Combs and the judge tossed the case against blue shirt-man, Winston Noles.
We decided to do some advanced monitoring of the water situation in Trinidad, Texas. Like so many water systems in Texas, many people are saying it’s quite bad.
The most recent free chlorine residuals in Trinidad’s distribution system were 0.07 and 0.09 mg/L — both below the 0.2 mg/L state legal minimum. Sampled April 29, 2026 at 2 Jay St. and 604 Lawrence.
Four straight quarters above the federal limit for Total Trihalomethanes, a probable human carcinogen (This is from over-chlorinating LOL)
August 1, 2023: E. coli positive in Trinidad’s drinking-water distribution system. Plus 15 other total coliform positives across the system’s history. E. coli is the marker for fecal contamination.
Lead and Copper Rule monitoring violation, October – November 2025: status “Unaddressed.” Trinidad not even bothering with lead and copper testing as required.
Eight of the last twelve quarters in noncompliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act — three with “significant violations” — and 36 informal enforcement actions from TCEQ in four years!
A $3,877 TCEQ agreed-order penalty in October 2024 (Docket 2023-1476-PWS-E), followed by a State Compliance Order with penalty in December 2024.
Trinidad’s wastewater treatment plant is currently in Significant Noncompliance. EPA records show E. coli effluent at 226% over the permitted limit. (Whoops!)
The mayor told FOX 4 some of Trinidad’s water pipes date to the 1950s. (common in Texas)
I'm willing to bet Trinidad & Tobago has better water quality than Trinidad, TX.
Waco is having Christmas early this year because they've got the best ornament for their tree.
I stopped at the travel center in Trinidad several weeks ago, so I hope my E. coli has outcompeted the other strains. Great map btw
