Democrat Sen. Ed Markey said this week that his party has lawyers already drafting an emergency case for the Supreme Court because they believe President Donald Trump will try to interfere with the midterm elections, and said people must be ready for a national strike and millions to protest on Election Day.

The 80-year-old senator accused the president of trying to perpetuate an “electoral crime,” despite years of his party claiming that it is a grave sin to question the integrity of our election system.

In a wild joint interview with GBH News and Boston 25 News, Markey stated, “We have lawyers who are already drafting the emergency case to be brought to the Supreme Court of the United States before the election and then in the immediate aftermath.”

Markey added that thousands of lawyers are being readied for deployment to election stations in key states.

“We have lawyers who are already drafting the emergency case to be brought to the Supreme Court of the United States before the election and then in the immediate aftermath,” Markey announced. “We’re also in a process of having thousands of lawyers get ready to be deployed all across our country in the key states at those election stations in state after state around the country.”

“We have to be ready on Election Day to have a national strike. We have to be ready to have millions of people come out of their homes to be protesting what Trump is trying to perpetrate as an electoral crime on our nation’s history,” Markey claimed.

The senator specifically called for workers, unions, and businesses to shut down in a manner similar to the response in Minneapolis after the deaths of Alex Freddi and Renee Goode.

Markey claimed that the Trump administration could deploy ICE agents on Election Day or invoke the Insurrection Act to send the military into communities.

The career politician described Trump as “growing increasingly desperate” because of polling and campaigning in traditionally Republican states such as Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa, and suggested the president might try to prevent Democrats from being seated to avoid an impeachment process.

“I don’t think that there’s anything beyond the pale that he would not consider,” Markey claimed.

Markey said that if the president activated the Marines, the Army, and ICE on the Friday before the election, the public should “rise up” over the weekend so that millions would be in the streets by Election Day, allowing the Supreme Court to see public outrage if an emergency petition were filed. He called the scenario “very possible.”

WATCH:

Republican challenger John Deaton called the remarks “reckless and dangerous.”

“A United States Senator should be lowering the temperature, not calling for a national strike and shutdowns in the streets a week before an election,” Deaton said.

Deaton added that Massachusetts voters deserve leaders “who respect the rule of law, trust the voters, and settle differences at the ballot box,” and that after 50 years in Washington, this is what Markey has become.

“Massachusetts needs a senator who will calm things down, not stir them up.”

The stakes in next week’s midterm elections will have dire consequences not just for next year but perhaps the future of America as a whole. And the world’s richest man is here to explain why.

On Friday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that his “biggest fear” was that if Democrats win control of Congress this fall and the U.S. Presidency in 2028, the America we all know and love will be gone.

He outlines that Democrats will first seek to make D.C. and Puerto Rico states, giving them four new senators. Second, Democrats will enact mass amnesty for all illegal aliens in the United States and throw back open the borders.

Finally, Musk says Democrats will expand the Supreme Court to achieve an “immediate majority.” Say goodbye to your First and Second Amendment rights should this happen.

The only way to stop this, Musk argues, is to ensure there are 51 Republican Senators in 2029.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:

1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.

2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.

3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.

This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.

All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

“It would be game over for America,” Musk added in his next post.

Musk’s comments are not fearmongering but the absolute truth.

As TGP’s Casandra MacDonald reported, Kamala Harris told New Hampshire voters on Thursday that the Democrats’ “first priorities” if they seized control of government would be to expand the Supreme Court to 13 Justices, “fight for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.,” and “take a critical look at the Electoral College.”

“We have to be ruthless,” she added.

Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico also expressed openness to all of these horrifying ideas on CNN earlier this month.

James Talarico supports all of these positions and Kamala Harris intends on making them her 2028 platform along with abolishing the Electoral College and nuking the filibuster.

Democrats are telling us their plan out loud.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee said on Thursday that Christa Pike’s death sentence is likely to remain in place after she survived a completed lethal injection attempt.

The decision will ultimately be made by the courts, not the governor, unless he chooses to commute her sentence.

“As it related to a particular individual like Christa Pike and her crime, she’s still incarcerated under the laws of the state of Tennessee,” Lee said, according to a report from the New York Post. “I suspect her sentence will be the same as before unless determined otherwise by the courts.”

The comment strongly implies that a commutation is out of the question.

Pike, 50, was scheduled for execution on September 30 at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution for the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old classmate Colleen Slemmer in Knoxville.

If the attempt had been successful, Pike would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years.

Execution team members spent nearly an hour and used roughly 10 needles trying to establish IV lines after earlier warnings that Pike had difficult vein access.

Ultimately, Pike received two doses of pentobarbital, remained conscious enough to complain of arm pain, snored audibly, and was later transported to a hospital unconscious and on a ventilator.

Her arms were described as swollen, burned, and blistered.

Pike regained consciousness on October 6 and has been returned to the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, where her lawyers say she is now speaking in full sentences.

Lee paused all remaining executions in Tennessee for the rest of 2026 and ordered a comprehensive third-party review of what went wrong.

Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada resigned after the failure, which was the second botched execution attempt in the state this year following a May attempt on Tony Carruthers that was called off after more than an hour of unsuccessful efforts to establish an IV.

Lee previously denied Pike’s clemency petition, which cited childhood sexual abuse, neglect, and mental health issues.

A judge has since reopened a related civil challenge to the lethal injection protocol and ordered the preservation of evidence from the September 30 attempt.

Colleen Slemmer’s mother, May Martinez, said after the failed execution that the state “owes me a big apology” and that she does not want to see anyone else hurt the way her daughter was, according to a report from First Coast News.

Pike’s attorneys have argued she has already “endured punishment greater than any other person in the history of the American death penalty” and have sought to block any future attempt.

No new execution date has been set while the review continues and the case works its way through the court system again.

Ryan O’Shea, a 21-year-old University of New Haven senior studying criminal justice and co-captain of the school’s club hockey team, was killed on October 16 when a wrong-way pickup truck driven by a twice-deported Mexican national slammed head-on into his vehicle on Interstate 91 in North Haven, Connecticut.

O’Shea was driving southbound in the left lane near Exit 9 around 11:45 p.m. after a hockey game when an illegal alien traveling northbound in the southbound lanes struck his vehicle.

The impact pushed his car into another SUV and then into a third vehicle.

O’Shea was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt impact injuries to the head, neck, torso, and extremities.

The illegal alien, identified as 31-year-old Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, suffered serious life-threatening injuries and was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital.

As of late October, police had not charged him in connection with the crash.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Border Hawk News that Carmona-Lopez, a Mexican national, was arrested by Border Patrol in May 2013 after illegally entering the United States, was issued an expedited removal, and was removed from the country.

“In May 2013, Border Patrol arrested Carmona-Lopez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, after he illegally entered the country. Carmona-Lopez was issued an expedited removal and was removed from the country,” the Department of Homeland Security told Border Hawk.

“He then illegally reentered the country near the Rio Grande Valley after being removed—a felony—and was once again arrested by Border Patrol in May 2013. Carmona-Lopez was issued a final order of removal on May 30, 2013. He then reentered the country at an unknown time and place.”

EXCLUSIVE: University Hockey Captain Killed in Wrong Way Collision With Twice-Deported Mexican Illegal in Sanctuary Connecticut

A beloved member of the University of New Haven community was killed in a head-on collision with a driver who is in the U.S. illegally, federal authorities have confirmed with Border Hawk.

The tragedy unfolded at around 11:45 p.m. on Oct. 16 in North Haven, Connecticut.

Ryan O’Shea, 21, was driving southbound on Interstate 91 when a pickup truck traveling in the wrong direction slammed into his Honda Accord, causing his vehicle to strike two SUVs, Connecticut State Police (CSP) explained in an accident summary.

O’Shea, who was on his way back to campus after playing in a hockey game, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the pickup truck, who suffered “serious life-threatening injuries,” was identified as 31-year-old Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, a resident of Bridgeport, Connecticut.

“In May 2013, Border Patrol arrested Carmona-Lopez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, after he illegally entered the country. Carmona-Lopez was issued an expedited removal and was removed from the country,” the Department of Homeland Security told us.

“He then illegally reentered the country near the Rio Grande Valley after being removed—a felony—and was once again arrested by Border Patrol in May 2013. Carmona-Lopez was issued a final order of removal on May 30, 2013. He then reentered the country at an unknown time and place.”

It is currently unclear if Carmona-Lopez will face charges in connection with the crash.

A resident of Stony Point, New York, O’Shea served as senior assistant captain of the university’s club hockey team and also chapter president of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

He was studying criminal justice with a concentration in police science and aspired to work for the New York Police Department.

“Ryan was not only a great leader, but he was a caring friend to anyone around him. He always knew how to light up a room and make people laugh, no matter the time. Ryan’s leadership and the memories he has made will never be forgotten,” Kappa Sigma wrote in an Instagram post memorializing O’Shea.

Ryan’s sisters said he “always found a way to make everything positive.”

“He was always trying to go out of the way to help others and include them in new spaces if they didn’t know anyone,” Kiera O’Shea stated.

Two memorial scholarships have been established in Ryan O’Shea’s name. Contributions can be made here.

We contacted CSP to request more information on this investigation and Carmona-Lopez’s current condition and will provide updates if they become available.

University officials said in a statement that O’Shea was a criminal justice major with a concentration in police science, had interned with the New York City Police Department, and planned to pursue a career in law enforcement.

“Ryan was an avid sports fan, and he was always ready to have a sports-related conversation,” said his academic adviser Lorenzo Boyd, Ph.D., Stewart Professor of Community Policing. “Ryan wanted to go into public service in order to help others. He was engaging in the classroom and will be missed greatly.”

O’Shea was also chapter president of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

The case has drawn attention to Connecticut’s sanctuary policies, including the Trust Act, which limits local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities and restricts compliance with ICE detainers except in narrow circumstances such as judicial warrants, certain serious felonies, or terrorist watch-list matches.

The U.S. Department of Justice sued Connecticut and New Haven in April over those policies, arguing they interfere with federal immigration enforcement.

A campus memorial was held for O’Shea, more than $55,000 has been raised for scholarships in his name, and the hockey team planned to retire his jersey.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has announced that the Texas Department of Agriculture will no longer award eligible department-administered grants to businesses that employ H-1B visa holders, directing taxpayer dollars toward Texas workers instead of companies that rely on temporary foreign labor.

Miller said Texas taxpayers work hard for their money and deserve to know their tax dollars create opportunities for Texans rather than subsidize businesses that choose foreign labor while Texans are ready and willing to work.

“Texas taxpayers work hard for their money. They deserve to know that their tax dollars are being used to create opportunities for Texans—not to subsidize businesses that choose foreign labor while Texans are ready and willing to work,” Commissioner Miller said in a press release.

“If a company wants taxpayer support, it should demonstrate a commitment to the people paying the bill. Texas workers should come first. Period.”

Miller challenged Governor Greg Abbott and every other statewide elected official to follow the TDA’s lead and adopt similar safeguards across their agencies, grant programs, and economic development initiatives.

He noted that Abbott has publicly declared that taxpayer-funded employment should prioritize Texans and said that the governor and other officials should examine their grant programs and close gaps that allow taxpayer dollars to flow to businesses employing H-1B visa holders.

“Governor Abbott has publicly declared that taxpayer-funded employment should prioritize Texans. I agree—and now it’s time to turn that principle into action,” Miller said.

“Texans deserve more than tough talk. They deserve a government that puts their interests first when spending their money. I challenge the governor and every statewide elected official to examine their grant programs and close the gaps that allow taxpayer dollars to flow to businesses employing H-1B visa holders.”

“We’re not going to turn a blind eye to how taxpayer money is used,” Miller said. “Every dollar comes from a Texas taxpayer. Every dollar should be put to work in the public interest. If we’re serious about putting Texans first, we must be willing to back up those words with action.”

Miller also called on state leaders to review existing economic incentive and grant programs, increase transparency surrounding recipients, and ensure public funding advances opportunities for Texas workers, pointing to the state’s heavy investments in education, job training, and workforce development.

“Texas has invested heavily in education, job training, and workforce development. It makes no sense to tell Texans to prepare for tomorrow’s jobs while ignoring how taxpayer dollars are used by the businesses receiving public assistance today,” Miller said. “My message to state leaders is simple: stand with Texas workers, protect taxpayer dollars, and make Texas families the priority.”

The policy applies to eligible grants the department directly administers. It does not apply to TDA-administered grant programs operated on behalf of independent boards, commissions, or entities that set their own eligibility criteria, and it does not restrict public or private Texas entities from receiving federal grant funds or participating in state-funded loan programs that are administered by the department.
