Following a light prison sentence for the transgender-identifying man who plotted to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced new legislation on Wednesday to bar far-left judges from using gender identity as a condition in sentencing. 
Cotton’s “Fair Sentencing Act” would ensure that transgender-identifying criminals do not get off the hook because of their gender confusion, according to a copy of the bill obtained by The Daily Wire. Cotton said the bill would keep sentencing fair and the American public safe. 
“Criminals are criminals. Radical left judges shouldn’t be able to use ‘gender confusion’ as a reason to assign shorter sentences. My bill will keep Americans safer by ensuring all criminals are properly sentenced,” the Arkansas Republican told The Daily Wire. 
If passed, the bill would make sure that judges could not shorten a sentence over someone’s perceived gender identity. 
Cotton’s proposal comes after a Biden-appointed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-man-who-planned-to-assassinate-brett-kavanaugh-gets-off-easy-will-serve-just-8-years?author=Luke+Rosiak&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Transgender+Man+Who+Planned+To+Assassinate+Brett+Kavanaugh+Will+Serve+Just+8+Years">judge sentenced</a> Nicholas Roske, the man who planned to assassinate Kavanaugh after the leak of a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, to just eight years in prison. The sentence was 22 years lighter than the 30-year minimum recommended by federal sentencing guidelines. 
The sentencing took more than seven hours, with much of the time dedicated to discussing how Roske’s transgender identity meant he should get a lighter sentence, The Daily Wire reported.

Cotton also put forth <a href="https://www.cotton.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/preventing_violence_against_women_act.pdf">new legislation</a> to keep men and women in separate prisons, regardless of gender identity. 
“Prisoners should be placed based on their biological sex, not on what they chose to ‘identify’ as. Documented cases prove that placing men—including men who ‘identify’ as women—in women’s prisons puts female inmates at increased risk of sexual assault,” he told The Daily Wire. “My bill decreases the risk for women by ensuring men and women are separated in federal prison.”
Cotton’s ‘‘Preventing Violence Against Female Inmates Act of 2025’’ would prohibit housing prisoners of different sexes together and would block states from receiving grants if they put men in women’s prisons. 
The bill would codify executive action from Trump barring the Bureau of Prisons from housing men in women’s prisons. That order has been challenged by multiple transgender-identifying prisoners who claim the order violates their rights. 
In states where men have been placed with women in prison, women often fear for their own safety. In one example in California, a male double rapist was transferred to a female prison. The issue also came up during Roske’s sentencing, with the judge lamenting the fact that he would have to be housed in a male prison.

Actor Charlie Sheen shared his thoughts on the loss of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10.
The “Two and a Half Men” star is currently promoting his new memoir, “The Book of Sheen.” He appeared on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast and spoke about Kirk’s impact, among other things, saying Kirk’s death likely changed the course of history.
&#8220;It was like a giant star in the night sky just went dark,&#8221; Sheen observed.
Both Paul and Sheen agreed with what so many others are saying, that Kirk could have become president one day.
Sheen also praised Kirk’s style of debate. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t belittle anyone, he didn&#8217;t demean anyone, he didn&#8217;t embarrass anyone,&#8221; the 60-year-old actor said. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t go there to, like, be a smarty pants and make you look stupid. He was just like, ‘Hey, man, okay, here’s what I&#8217;ve prepared. Here&#8217;s what I know, here&#8217;s what I believe. Give me your side of it.'&#8221;
Sheen also discussed how he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-doesnt-deserve-that-the-moment-charlie-sheen-joe-rogan-learned-charlie-kirk-was-dead">found out</a> Kirk had been killed during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
&#8220;It’s just awful, I don’t remember what I said to Joe,&#8221; he told Paul. &#8220;Something about if this is where we’ve wound up, this can’t be where we stay. Like, what words can we all attach to this that make it feel better for us or his family, or just the moment – they haven’t been written, have they?&#8221;
Previously, Sheen compared Kirk’s murder to the assassination of JFK in 1963.
“I think, for this generation, that’s their JFK moment,” Sheen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88NJfL9YOtQ">told</a> Piers Morgan last week. “If that’s where we’ve wound up, it cannot be where we stay. &#8230; It’s too surreal to process it, the unfairness of it. … We can’t keep having days like that moving forward.”
Most Hollywood celebrities have stayed silent on Kirk’s murder, or have offered carefully worded statements while clarifying that they did not agree with any of his viewpoints. Even those social media posts have been met with backlash from followers who don’t believe Kirk’s death should be mourned at all.

U.S.

Commentators at CNN and MSNBC — both left-leaning networks — appeared to break form for just a few seconds in praising the new CEO of Turning Point USA, Erika Kirk, as she eulogized her late husband Charlie Kirk.
For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
The life of Charlie Kirk, conservative commentator and TPUSA founder, was celebrated on Sunday just 11 days after his public assassination at a Utah Valley University campus event, and his newly-widowed wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/erika-kirk-forgives-her-husbands-suspected-assassin-says-charlie-would-have-done-so-too">Erika</a> gave a eulogy that brought much of America to tears, offering forgiveness to the suspected assassin who&#8217;d robbed her of a husband and her two young children of their father.
After noting that Charlie&#8217;s heart was truly in the fight to &#8220;save young men just like the one who took his life,&#8221; she added, &#8220;“That young man, that young man. On the cross, our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know, from the Gospel, is love and always love.”

The response to Ms. Kirk&#8217;s speech was overwhelming, crossing party lines and blowing away liberal and progressive commentators even on networks like CNN and MSNBC.
NBC White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard responded to the speech on MSNBC, saying, &#8220;I think what honestly I’ll take away from tonight is watching the weight of a woman, a mother, lose her husband. Most people cannot say they’ve experienced losing a spouse at this young of an age, and I don’t know who we are to suggest how somebody should respond in real time. One week after her husband’s passing, she went in front of a crowd of 40 to 50,000 people, people watching all over the world. And she delivered remarks in which she forgave the assassin that shot her husband and killed him.&#8221;
&#8220;A remarkable moment because in so many ways, where America stands in 2025 is, how do we respond going forward? And the woman that just lost her husband stood there in front of the world and said, ‘I forgive,'&#8221; Hillyard added.

But the conversation did not stop there, as Ayman Mohideen jumped in to also praise Ms. Kirk — but he used her speech to attack President Trump for taking a different route.
&#8220;So, when you weave all of that into a eulogy and in a moment where the country is in sorrow and in pain because of what just happened, there is that split screen. There is that disconnect between the grief that a mother who is just going to bury her husband, the father of her children, and a president who’s talking about the the politics of this moment,&#8221; Mohideen said.
“And I think that’s what my takeaway was from that speech, you know, the opportunity for the president to try to heal and bring the country, as many had hoped he would, and not doing it in the way that many people would expect a president to do,&#8221; he complained.
On CNN, Xochitl Hinojosa — who served as communications director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — said that Erika Kirk&#8217;s words could unite Americans across party lines. But she had to preface that assessment with a comparison to Trump, who she argued had not done that.
&#8220;I think in times like this, especially when there is political violence, you need the president, regardless of who it is, to bring the country together. And that has not happened,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;This was an opportunity for Trump to do that. He did not take that opportunity. The person who really did that was Erika Kirk. She came to the moment — she understood that people need to be brought together. She’s probably one of the only people besides Donald Trump who could do that. So much that she says … that she forgave the shooter. She also said, &#8216;The answer to hate is not hate,'&#8221; Hinojosa said.
&#8220;She talked about love for our enemies. She talked about the First Amendment and the importance of the First Amendment. These are all things that should have come, you know, largely about bringing our country together, from our president,&#8221; she said again. &#8220;But instead it came from the widow of Charlie Kirk, which I think is, I mean, I don’t know how she did it. First of all, giving that speech, but also rising to the moment when our country needs leadership, when our country needs to hear those messages of coming together. It was the widow who did it.&#8221;

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the bullet that killed Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had been aimed &#8220;at all of us&#8221; and was &#8220;an attack on our entire nation.&#8221;
Trump made the remarks as part of his eulogy for Kirk, who&#8217;d been assassinated 11 days earlier at a campus event at Utah Valley University, and he said that the attack on Kirk had been &#8220;an assault on our most sacred liberties and God-given rights.&#8221;

&#8220;Every single American should take a long, hard look at the twisted soul and dark spirit of anyone who would want to kill a young man as good as Charlie, to kill anybody, but to kill a man like this,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t deserve this. He didn&#8217;t deserve this. Our country didn&#8217;t deserve this.&#8221;
&#8220;And anyone who would make excuses for it are just out of their minds,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s murder was not just an attack on one man or one movement — it was an attack on our entire nation. That was a horrible attack on the United States of America. It was an assault on our most sacred liberties and God-given rights. The gun was pointed at him, but the bullet was aimed at all of us. That bullet was aimed at every one of us.&#8221;
&#8220;Indeed, Charlie was killed for expressing the ideas that virtually everyone in this arena and most other places throughout our country deeply believed in,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But the assassin failed in his quest because Charlie&#8217;s message has not been silenced. It now is bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and it&#8217;s not even close.&#8221;

Trump Says The Bullet That Killed Charlie Kirk Was 'Aimed At All Of Us'

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) reminded the audience on Sunday that she was the real victim of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk&#8217;s rhetoric, explaining to CNN anchor Dana Bash that this was why she could not support the House Resolution condemning his assassination.
Crockett joined Bash on Sunday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; to explain why she&#8217;d voted no — and she went on to equate Kirk with &#8220;confederate relics&#8221; and complaining that not enough white people had voted no along with her.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bash raised the topic of the House resolution, noting that Crockett had been among the 58 Democrats who voted no, and asked her about it.
Crockett began by complaining that only two of the &#8220;no&#8221; votes had been from white members of congress, adding, &#8220;honestly that hurts my heart.&#8221;
&#8220;The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color,&#8221; she claimed, and although she gave no evidence to back up that claim, Bash offered no challenge. &#8220;And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was specifically to us. And I can tell you that a month prior to him passing away, he had actually gotten out on his podcast and he was talking negatively about me directly.&#8221;
&#8220;So if there was any way that I was going to honor somebody who decided that they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement?&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Yeah, I‘m not honoring that kind of stuff, especially as a civil rights attorney and … knowing that there were people that died, people that were willing to die, that worked to make sure that voices like mine could exist in this place.&#8221;
&#8220;So to me, just like we wanted to make sure that those Confederate relics were taken down, the idea of a new age relic being propped up was something that I just could not subscribe to. And it is unfortunate that more of my colleagues, even on my side of the aisle, could not see the amount of harm that this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities,&#8221; Crockett concluded.
Conservative commentator Scott Jennings fired back at Crockett later in the day, saying, &#8220;Charlie Kirk targeted NOBOBY [sic]. He was not racist in any way.&#8221;

Jasmine Crockett Says She’s The Real Victim Of Charlie Kirk’s Rhetoric

Far-Left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has doubled down on nasty remarks she&#8217;s made about assassinated 31-year-old conservative Charlie Kirk, adding that Kirk&#8217;s legacy belongs in the &#8220;dustbin of history.&#8221;
CNN host Kaitlan Collins on Friday asked Omar about her recent derogatory comments about Kirk, including how she shared a post that blamed Kirk for his own assassination, calling the conservative &#8220;Dr. Frankenstein&#8221; whose &#8220;monster shot him through the neck.&#8221;
Omar refused to apologize, telling Collins, &#8220;What I find jarring is that there&#8217;s so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they are willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress honoring his life and legacy.&#8221;
&#8220;I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;That should be in the dustbin of history and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.&#8221;

Former Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) said that comments from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the wake of Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination were proof that the Democratic Party was &#8220;getting worse, not better.&#8221;
Manchin joined CNN host Kasie Hunt to discuss the current political climate, and she began by referring to Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s comments objecting to the Congressional resolution to honor the recently murdered conservative commentator.

&#8220;She does say that we should &#8216;be clear about who Charlie Kirk was, a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake,'&#8221; Hunt began. &#8220;She goes on to name some of the other things that he believes in. What was your reaction to her vote and to her statement afterward?&#8221;
&#8220;First of all, I just saw a little while ago, and I was stunned, Kasie. I really was,&#8221; Manchin replied. &#8220;This is not the place and the time for that at all. If the Democrats — if AOC and the far Left, the extreme Left I want to say — believe that&#8217;s where the party, the Democratic Party, is today, then that&#8217;ll tell you why you lost people like me, and an awful lot.&#8221;
&#8220;Now, let me tell you what you&#8217;ve lost,&#8221; Manchin continued. &#8220;Since the last election, they&#8217;ve been doing their national tour and thinking, boy, that&#8217;s something, we&#8217;re really getting into something. The Democratic Party has lost more than 160,000 Democrats that have basically left the party since the November election. So if that&#8217;s the way the Democrat Party is going, it’s getting worse, not better.&#8221;

Joe Manchin ‘Stunned’ By AOC’s Charlie Kirk Rant: Dems ‘Are Getting Worse, Not Better’

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

In yet another disturbing episode of radicalized anti-government extremism, a 22-year-old New Hampshire man was arrested after allegedly <a href="https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/nh-man-accused-threatening-governor-weapon-mass-destruction-making">threatening to assassinate</a> Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte using a “weapon of mass destruction” — while spewing grotesquely antisemitic rhetoric involving “Jew feds” and the “Israel Deep State.”
Tristan Alexander Anderson, of Merrimack County, was taken into custody on August 28 after police were tipped off about a series of violent threats he made via Snapchat. In one message, Anderson wrote chillingly, “I’m going to target the NH Mayor Kelly Ayott (sic) with my weapon of mass destruction.” He then launched into a deranged antisemitic rant, declaring, “These Jew feds need to f***ing die” and also writing, “Same with polygamy, WHICH WAS CREATED BY THE F***ING JEWS AND ISRAEL DEEP STATE.”
Despite his inability to correctly name the governor — or differentiate between a mayor and the state’s highest executive — Anderson appeared deadly serious. Authorities revealed he had access to firearms, metal pipes, fireworks, nuts, and bolts — all potential bomb-making materials. His roommate told police that Anderson not only discussed building pipe bombs, but also showed her the components and claimed to be actively working on them.
Anderson was a full-blown red-flag threat. Anderson expressed intent, named his target, referenced a weapon of mass destruction, and was stockpiling materials consistent with a bomb plot. “From the probable cause statement, it sounds like Tristan Anderson was actively trying to realize and bring about the threats that he was making about Governor Ayotte,” former criminal prosecutor Jesse O&#8217;Neill <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/arrest-alleged-threat-nh-governor-ayotte-09172025/66940374">stated</a>. “Depending on how (it) develops, (prosecutors) could very well bring additional charges as this case moves into the indictment phase.”
Court documents show the man was not unknown to law enforcement. Anderson has prior charges stemming from a March 2024 incident and another in <a href="https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/missing-bike-concord-church-service-leads-felony-charge-cop-log">December 2023</a>. He now faces felony charges of threatening a government official, with more possible as the investigation progresses.
Governor Ayotte, who took office amid <a href="https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/01/09/in-inaugural-address-ayotte-warns-of-budget-cuts-talks-up-efas-sanctuary-city-ban/">promises of law and order</a>, has reportedly been in discussions with state lawmakers and security officials to reevaluate protective measures for elected officials.
Anderson apparently embraced conspiracy theories that echo modern antisemitic talking points about Israel, government control, and Jewish influence.
Anderson is being held without bail and is scheduled for a dispositional hearing in November.

More details emerged about Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week, all helping to paint a disturbing portrait of the 22-year-old.
Friends of the alleged killer told the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15107459/charlie-kirk-tyler-robinson-furry-gay-porn-trans.html">Daily Mail</a> that Robinson used the online alias “craftin247″ on multiple online platforms. This was the username he allegedly used to engage with the “furry” community, a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters.
The Steam account associated with the name “craftin247” downloaded the game “Furry Shades of Gay,” the outlet noted. The game is described as involving “love, queer relationships, hot gay sex, and slapstick humor.” 
According to the report, “craftin247” was a frequent player, as evidenced by their participation, which earned them a special upgrade: an anthropomorphic cat character dressed as a French maid.
That same username also had a profile at FurAffinity.net, another website dedicated to sexualized images involving cartoon animals.
The Daily Mail reported that last week, the user watched content created by RedRusker, who is known for creating furry porn. RedRusker apologized in the past for images of very young-looking animal characters engaging in sexual acts.
Robinson’s mother told investigators that her son became more political and Left-leaning over the past year, and he reportedly lived with a transgender-identifying romantic partner, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspected-charlie-kirk-killer-reportedly-lived-with-trans-identifying-partner">reported</a>. 
A text exchange between the two men was released by Utah County prosecutors earlier this week. It included Robinson referring to his male roommate as “my love.” 
The texts also referenced recovered bullet casings found with the suspected murder weapon. One of the casings said, “Notices Bulges, OwO what’s this?” which is a furry culture meme.
The “OwO” is meant to look like a wide-eyed cat face, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/14/us-news/charlie-kirk-assassination-suspect-had-furry-fixation-trans-boyfriend-proclaimed-support-for-bidden/">noted</a>.

Comedy Central should continue to air the &#8220;South Park&#8221; episode that mocked the late conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, one of those closest to him is saying.
Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of &#8220;The Charlie Kirk Show&#8221; and a friend of the Turning Point USA founder, said that Kirk would not want the episode pulled from the network in the wake of his assassination at Utah Valley University
&#8220;Hey @paramountplus, as someone who can speak with some authority on this, Charlie loved that he was featured in South Park. He told me many times. He would want the episode back up,&#8221; Kolvet posted.

The episode, titled &#8220;Got a Nut,&#8221; originally aired on August 6 — and featured the character Cartman parodying Kirk&#8217;s debate style and mannerisms. The show even got a positive review from Kirk himself: &#8220;Not bad, Cartman.&#8221;
Another person commented on the way the show&#8217;s creators had animated Cartman put down the microphone and take a sip of water while listening to a question — and then pick it back up afterward — prompting Kirk to add, &#8220;Eerily spot on.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Kirk also made a video response to the episode, saying that the fact that they were mocking him was proof of just how big the movement he started had become. &#8220;There&#8217;s going to be a lot said about this, but we need to have a good spirit about being made fun of,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is all a success, this is all a win. We, as conservatives, we have thick skin, not thin skin. And you can make fun of us, it doesn&#8217;t matter. And until next time, I hope all of you all become master debaters for truth.&#8221;

Daily Wire host Isabel Brown is set to speak at a Turning Point USA event at Colorado State University — an event where the campus organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, was initially scheduled to appear before his assassination in Utah on Wednesday, September 10.
Brown, an alumna of CSU herself and the former TPUSA president for that campus’ chapter, said that the organization had declined to cancel the planned event in the wake of Kirk’s murder — but had instead booked a larger venue and forged ahead with what quickly became a vigil for their late founder.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

“Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak tomorrow at my alma mater, Colorado State University, where in 2018 he came to speak to our @TPUSA chapter while I was then-chapter president,” Brown posted via X. “He was SO excited to be back in Fort Collins, and two weeks ago was texting me links to local media coverage about his return to campus.”
When Kirk was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University a week prior, however, Brown said that the expectation was that TPUSA would cancel the Colorado State University event.
“Everyone expected the students to cancel their event,” she continued. “Instead, they moved it — to the largest venue on campus as a place for people across Colorado &amp; the West to mourn Charlie&#8217;s life and honor his legacy. I am humbled and honored to have been asked to return to CSU to speak tomorrow at Charlie&#8217;s vigil.”
“This will be one of the hardest events I’ve ever done, but easily the most important by a mile,” she concluded. “See you tomorrow, Rams. God Bless You.”
Brown offered her thoughts on Kirk’s passing — and his legacy — in a lengthy post still pinned to her X profile.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Words will never be able to convey how devastated we are that Charlie Kirk was taken from us far too soon.

“He transformed the world. And we will never be the same without him,” she said at the time.
