Evening Wire: Trans Would-Be Kavanaugh Assassin Charged | 9.19.25

The man who attempted to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh now faces 30 years in prison and identifies as a transgender woman who goes by Sophie.

Senate Democrats sink a stopgap bill that would have averted a government shutdown.

And is cocaine making a comeback?

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley.

It's Friday, September 19th, and this is Eveningwire.

The man who attempted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman and was deeply mentally ill and suicidal.

That's according to court documents first obtained by the Daily Wire.

In the filings entered today, the DOJ is recommending 30 years in prison for the would-be assassin.

Daily Wire Washington editor Tim Rice has the exclusive.

Court documents show 29-year-old Nicholas Roski, who now goes by Sophie Roski, traveled from California to Kavanaugh's Maryland home in 2022 with a pistol and tactical gear after the leak of the Dobbs abortion draft.

He later admitted that he planned to kill at least one justice to, in his words, change the course of the court.

Rossky pleaded guilty last year to the attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice.

Prosecutors said his actions were meticulously planned and ideologically driven.

Attorney General Pam Bondi called it an attack on the entire judicial system.

The Justice Department says the sentence sends a clear warning that political violence against federal officials will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

A source familiar with the legal proceedings in the case told the Daily Wire that Roski was using female pronouns online before the attempted murder and now goes by the female name reflected in the defense filings.

A short-term funding bill that would have averted a government shutdown has failed in the Senate.

The vote fell short just two hours after it cleared the House.

The Trump-backed continuing resolution would have kept government spending steady through November 21st while adding $30 million for Capitol Hill security, plus $58 million for judicial and executive protection, a response to rising political violence after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Democrats led by Chuck Schumer withheld support while demanding higher health care spending.

Tensions flared at a Boston vigil for Charlie Kirk.

Two people were arrested as hundreds gathered at a Massachusetts statehouse to honor him and denounce political violence.

Police said 38-year-old Joseph Antoine Castro Del Rio was charged with disorderly conduct while a juvenile was arrested for assault, battery, and carrying a knife.

Officers kept protesters and mourners apart with metal metal barriers as speakers urged peace following Kirk's assassination in Utah.

Late night host Greg Guttfeld torched the legacy media for trying to paint Jimmy Kimmel as a martyr after his suspension.

Despite what left-wing media is trying to claim, Guttfeld said on Fox Thursday, the real victims here are Charlie Kirk and his family.

Even in death, Charlie keeps winning debates.

You know, the media, this is what's disgusting.

Just look at the reaction.

The media is trying to make Jimmy Kimmel into their Charlie Kirk.

As if like getting fired is the same as getting fired upon.

That's what disgusts me is how they're trying.

This is a blatant effort to get the stink off them.

The decades of brainwash that created justification for violence and for murder.

Sorry, guys.

He's not a victim.

The victim is Charlie Kirk.

The victims are his family.

I don't don't shed any tears for a lefty millionaire who can still go home and see his kids.

Meanwhile, Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro smacked Kimmel as well.

Here he is on Fox yesterday.

I'm sort of surprised that it took 10 years for the public to sound off on how much Jimmy Kimmel sucks.

I mean, the reality is that he's been awful at his job for full on a decade.

His ratings have been terrible.

He has become not a comedian, but as Guy Benson over there has said, the woke pope of late-night comedy.

The Trump administration says it's tracked down down nearly 25,000 migrant children who crossed the border alone only to go missing under the Biden administration.

Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has the latest.

Porter's R.

Tom Homan revealed the figure Thursday, citing a watchdog report that said more than 320,000 minors have gone unaccounted for after being released to poorly vetted sponsors.

Homan said some children hid with relatives to avoid deportation, but thousands more were discovered in absolutely shocking conditions.

Many were in sex trafficking, many we found in forced labor.

Slavery.

I mean, forced to work ungodly hours, not going to school, working ungodly hours, and of course not getting paid, being abused.

So, you know, we've rescued thousands of children.

And President Trump is committed, I'm committed, that we're not going to stop looking for these children until we find every single one of them.

He confirmed 27 of the children have died.

Whistleblowers have previously warned that Biden-era officials ignored red flags and allowed children to be placed with strangers using fake documents.

A box cutter-wielding man who was arrested for the rape of a young jogger is a twice deported illegal immigrant.

Daily Wire immigration reporter Ginny Terre has the story.

The Daily Wire has learned that the Guatemalan man accused of violently raping a young jogger in New Haven, Connecticut last month is an illegal immigrant who has already been deported twice.

34-year-old illegal immigrant Ludvi Carrias Enteriano allegedly tackled the female victim to the ground 30 minutes into her marathon training on August 9th.

The man held a box cutter to her throat as he repeatedly raped her before running away.

Carias Interiano admitted to investigators that he engaged in sexual activity, but claimed it was consensual.

Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Wire that the feds deported Carias Enteriano twice during President Trump's first term, but he later snuck back in undetected.

Meanwhile, the panel found that younger, healthier people may face a different balance of risks.

California is facing a new challenge to its pro-transgender sports policies, but Governor Gavin Newsom says responsibility for the issue doesn't fall on him.

Daily Wire Culture reporter Megan Basham has more.

A Muslim female high school athlete in California says she's been religiously discriminated against by the state's transgender policies, and she's putting part of the blame on Newsom.

As Hadil Hazame tells Fox News, when the governor himself calls it unfair, he should be the one acting on it, not girls like her.

She also says she shouldn't have to be scared to change in the women's locker room.

Hazame, a practicing Muslim, has now joined a lawsuit with her family against the Jarupa Unified School District, the California Interscholastic Federation, and California Department of Education.

Newsom's office has responded by saying that neither the entity that governs high school sports nor the Department of Education falls under the governor's authority.

In a statement yesterday, University Chancellor Glenn Heager said, quote, now is the right moment to make a change and to position Texas AM for continued excellence in the years ahead.

Cocaine is unfortunately back in style for Americans.

As the Trump administration cracks down on fentanyl traffic, another drug is on the rise, cocaine.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Jalisco New Generation cartel has taken advantage of the focus on fentanyl to expand demand for its own product.

In the process, Jalisco has overtaken the notorious Sinaloa Sinaloa cartel to become Mexico's top drug gang.

According to new data, cocaine use in the western U.S.

has surged 154% since 2019, while it's jumped 19% in the East.

One of the nation's most haunting manhunts may have finally come to a close.

Sheriff's deputies say the remains were found on Grindstone Mountain not far from where the girls' bodies were discovered in June.

Clothing and personal items at the scene matched what Decker was last seen wearing.

DNA testing will confirm the identity.
