Justice Kavanaugh’s attempted assassin sentenced to 8 years in prison

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A federal judge sentenced Nicholas Roske, who now goes by Sophie, to eight years in prison on Friday for attempting to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the weeks leading up to the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision.
The sentence is far lower than what the Department of Justice had sought. Prosecutors said Roske should face at least 30 years, while Roske’s defense team had asked for eight.
Judge Deborah Boardman said during the sentencing hearing that while Roske’s actions were «reprehensible,» the judge also considered a string of mitigating factors, including that Roske «spontaneously confessed to and cooperated with police.»
FEDERAL JUDGE TO SENTENCE JUSTICE KAVANAUGH’S ATTEMPTED ASSASSIN
«I believe Ms. Roske understands that what she did was terribly wrong. I find her remorse sincere,» Boardman said.
DOJ prosecutor Coreen Mao said the sentence «must send the very strong, very clear message that the ends never justify violent means.»

Kavanaugh also received a death threat in April from someone who invoked Roske’s name and referenced shooting the justice in the head, Mao said, stressing a need to deter such behavior. That revelation comes as judges say they have faced a rise in threats from people across the political spectrum in recent years.
During the hearing, Boardman referred to Roske as a transgender woman, and Roske’s attorneys told the court recently that while their client’s legal name is Nicholas, Roske goes by the name Sophie and uses female pronouns.
Boardman, a Biden appointee, said she factored into the sentence her concern about Trump’s executive order requiring transgender inmates to be detained in prisons that correspond to their sex at birth.
Roske pleaded guilty in April to one charge of attempting to murder a Supreme Court justice, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
On June 8, 2022, Roske flew from California to Virginia and took a taxi to Kavanaugh’s address, armed with a pistol, knife, lock picking set, duct tape, hammer, crowbar and tactical gear.

In the weeks leading up to the incident, the defendant searched extensively online for information about several justices, mass shooters, ways to harm people and graphic images of people with knife wounds. One search read, «Does twisting or dragging a knife cause more damage.»
Roske’s internet history also signaled a desire to affect the outcome of the then-looming Dobbs decision, in which the Supreme Court was expected to overturn the federal right to abortion.
The assassination attempt came at a time when activists were protesting in front of conservative justices’ homes, leading the DOJ to deploy U.S. marshals to their houses to provide around-the-clock security.
Roske acknowledged noticing marshals at Kavanaugh’s house, which prosecutors said prompted Roske to change course and walk down the street before self-reporting to 911.
Roske’s «goal explicitly was both to alter the outcome of a pending Supreme Court case, a consequential case,» and «to change the composition of the court for decades to come,» Mao argued to the judge.

Roske’s attorneys played part of the 911 call for the courtroom, in which Roske tells a dispatcher about having «suicidal and homicidal thoughts.» The lawyers emphasized that Roske has long been severely depressed and has been seeking treatment.
Appearing in a yellow jumpsuit in the courtroom, Roske apologized for terrorizing Kavanaugh and his family and for «contributing to the fear judges experience as a result of doing their jobs.»

«I have been portrayed as a monster, and this tragic mistake I made will follow me for the rest of my life,» Roske said.
The judge also sentenced Roske to a lifetime of supervised release. The DOJ is able to appeal the sentence because it is well under the sentencing guidelines.

Anti-Hamas Gaza militias reject terror group, declare support for Trump’s peace plan

Anti-Hamas militias in Gaza endorse Trump peace plan

JERUSALEM — As negotiations continue in Egypt on the U.S. roadmap for peace, Fox News Digital obtained video from the U.S.-based Center for Peace Communications (CPC), revealing that anti-Hamas militias have endorsed President Donald Trump’s peace plan to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages.
This comes amid reports of heavy fighting last week between an anti-Hamas clan and terrorists from the jihadi Hamas movement in a neighborhood in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip that could mark a sea change in local governance in the war-ravaged area.

The full-throttle support from the anti-Hamas militias for Trump’s plan could potentially mean more trouble for the terrorist movement that has ruled Gaza with an iron fist for the last 17 years.
Three of the anti-Hamas militias publicly endorsed Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, according to the CPC video. Yasser Abu Shabab, the head of the Popular Forces militia in Rafah, said, «We see in President Trump’s plan a path to halt the bloodshed and bring peace to the Middle East.»

Ashraf Al-Mansi, leader of the Popular Northern Forces, said, «We, in the People’s Army, Northern Forces in the Gaza Strip, extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to U.S. President Donald Trump.»
Rami Hillis, the leader of the Popular Defense Forces, said his organization and the honorable clans in the Gaza Strip «will exert our utmost efforts and our capabilities to ensure the success of this proposal.» Two years ago, on Oct. 7, the Hamas terrorist movement invaded Israel and slaughtered roughly 1,200 people, including more than 40 American citizens.

«This marks the first time that anti-Hamas militias have proven on the ground their ability to challenge Hamas in open combat and to expel them from their areas. We have seen minor clashes before, but this seems to mark a major escalation,» said Michael Nahum from CPC.
The CPC, along with an American news organization, the Free Press, posted footage on X about the deadly clashes on Friday that reportedly resulted in the killing of 20 Hamas terrorists, including a commander.

According to the CPC, the infamous Hamas «Sahm Unit,» which is «known for brutally suppressing Gazan dissident voices, went to Khan Younis» with the goal of arresting local Palestinians and «transferring them to a hospital for interrogation and possible execution.»
On the same day as the clashes, Israel Defense Forces disclosed that Hamas had built sophisticated terrorist tunnels on the compounds of two hospitals — the Jordanian Field Hospital and Hamad Hospital — in the Gaza Strip. The tunnel adjacent to the Jordanian hospital contained a workshop for the production of missiles. The use of hospitals and medical facilities as weapons areas by Hamas is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

Hamas claims it entered Khan Younis to detain Palestinians who are collaborating with Israel. The al-Mujaida clan in southern Gaza resisted the Hamas assault of roughly 50 Hamas terrorists aboard five pickup trucks armed to the teeth, including with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Hamas reportedly murdered five members of the large al-Mujaida family.

The anti-Hamas militias have reportedly received support from Israel. Nahum said they are growing, and there are now four and probably as many as 10 militias across the Gaza Strip. «For the first time in a generation, we really might be looking at the end of Hamas rule in Gaza,» said Nahum.
There are an estimated 20,000 Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to some assessments.

“Una voz que incomode de verdad”: quién debería ganar el Nobel de Literatura según la Inteligencia Artificial

En Estocolmo todavía no amanece y ya se respira la conspiración. Cada octubre, un puñado de académicos suecos decide —en silencio y detrás de puertas acolchadas— quién representará la conciencia literaria del mundo. Afuera, el planeta especula. En los cafés de París, en los portales de Seúl, en los grupos de WhatsApp de traductores latinoamericanos, se cruzan las mismas apuestas: ¿será por fin Murakami?, ¿se atreverán con Krasznahorkai?, ¿darán el salto hacia África o América Latina?
El Nobel de Literatura no elige solo un escritor: elige un relato del mundo. Y ese relato, cada año, dice algo sobre el clima político, sobre la sensibilidad estética del tiempo y sobre quiénes —todavía— tienen derecho a decir la verdad.
Este año consultamos con ChatGPT -esa IA que viene escribiendo tanto- sobre las posibilidades de triunfo de los distintos candidatos. Le pedimos que analizara los premiados anteriores y el contexto político y literario actual. A continuación, su respuesta
El premio mayor y por qué
En 2023 fue Jon Fosse, con su lenguaje mínimo y espiritual, quien representó la búsqueda de lo esencial. En 2024, Han Kang llevó el premio a Corea del Sur con una literatura que mira de frente el trauma y el cuerpo. La Academia parece moverse entre lo introspectivo y lo histórico, entre el susurro poético y la denuncia.
Ahora, en 2025, la pregunta vuelve a encenderse: ¿será el año de una voz que incomode de verdad?
Porque el nombre que resuena con más fuerza —y que podría darle al premio su giro más arriesgado en años— es el de Can Xue (残雪), la escritora china que ha hecho del delirio, la opacidad y la belleza fragmentada una forma de rebelión.
La concesión del Nobel de Literatura combina méritos estéticos y resonancia ética. En el contexto actual, la obra de Can Xue ofrece tres aportes decisivos: 1) un desafío a la lógica del realismo narrativo, 2) una exploración del trauma sin moralismos ni melodrama, y 3) una apertura del canon literario más allá de los centros tradicionales. Su nombre figura entre los favoritos de las principales casas de apuestas y en las quinielas críticas de medios europeos y asiáticos.

Frente a nombres previsibles como László Krasznahorkai o Haruki Murakami, Can Xue encarna algo distinto: la posibilidad de que el Nobel premie no solo lo universal, sino lo indómito. Su literatura, hecha de símbolos, sueños y desplazamientos, emerge de un contexto donde la censura y el control cultural son parte del aire cotidiano. Premiarla no sería un gesto diplomático, sino un acto de afirmación estética: reconocer que la disidencia también puede escribirse desde lo irracional y lo poético.
El Nobel, conviene recordarlo, es siempre un espejo político. Después de su crisis institucional de 2018, la Academia ha intentado redibujar su autoridad, diversificando lenguas y geografías. Un premio a Can Xue colocaría en el centro a una autora que no milita, no se exilia, no traduce su experiencia a la gramática occidental del sufrimiento, sino que inventa su propio lenguaje para habitar la incomodidad.
Su escritura desarma al lector. No explica: sugiere. No cuenta: evoca. En un tiempo saturado de narrativas previsibles y de autoficciones terapéuticas, Can Xue representa otra forma de riesgo: el de la oscuridad. La de no ofrecer sentido inmediato, sino forzarlo a nacer.

Por eso su eventual Nobel no sería un premio más. Sería una toma de posición. Frente al confort del mercado y la previsibilidad del gusto, la elección de Can Xue recordaría que la literatura no está para calmar, sino para inquietar.
La Academia anunciará su decisión este jueves 9 de octubre de 2025, según informó NobelPrize.org. Hasta entonces, el rumor seguirá ardiendo: entre quienes esperan justicia geográfica y quienes desean un salto estético real.
Si el Nobel busca una voz que refleje el desorden del siglo XXI —una literatura que no consuele, sino que desestabilice—, Can Xue es la respuesta. Porque hay veces en que el mundo no necesita claridad. Necesita una grieta.
