Tyler Robinson confessed to his gay lover that he murdered Charlie Kirk and provided indications of a motive, according to newly released texts.
The shocking messages were provided to police by Robinson's transgender boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, the New York Post reported. Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder, exposing him to the death penalty, and a slew of other charges stemming from his efforts to cover up the crime.
"You weren’t the one who did it right???” wrote Twiggs.
“I am, I’m sorry,” Robinson responded.
Twiggs is cooperating with police, and he has not been accused of wrongdoing, although his failure to alert the authorities has raised questions.
“There is generally no duty to report a crime,” former prosecutor Neama Rahmani told The New York Post. “Now, obviously, people can be charged as co-conspirators, accessories, principals, aiders and abetters. But just knowing that a crime has been committed — even murder — is not sufficient to hold someone criminally liable.”
In the immediate aftermath of the September 10 assassination, Robinson told his lover and roommate to look for an incriminating note under his desk.
Twiggs located the note, which reads, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
In the messages, Twiggs expressed shock and asked why Robinson did it - to which he responded that he "had enough of his [Kirk's] hatred" and "some hate can't be negotiated out."
Robinson also told Twiggs that engravings he left on the bullet casings, including anti-fascist inscriptions, were "mostly a big meme."
He fretted about being unable to recover his rifle, which he had discarded in a wooded area, and questioned what he would tell his "die-hard MAGA" father, who reached out to ask about the gun.
“my dad wants photos of the rifle … he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. he’s calling me rn, not answering," Robinson wrote.
Robinson ended his text confession by telling Twiggs to delete the chats, hire a lawyer, and "stay silent."
In addition to murder, Robinson has been charged with obstruction, witness tampering, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of children.
The obstruction charges come from Robinson discarding his clothing and the rifle, which he abandoned at the scene wrapped in a towel.
The FBI is looking into whether anyone had advance knowledge of the attack, which has laid bare the radical left's troubling embrace of political violence.
Many on the left have tried to paint Robinson as right-wing, without evidence.
While police have not identified an exact motive, Robinson's twisted belief that Kirk deserved to be killed for "spreading hate" plainly echoes the radical left, which has glorified the horrific murder in the same terms.
According to charging documents, Robinson's mother told police that her son had moved to the left and became "more pro-gay and pro-trans" over the past year. She said his relationship with a male led to discussions within the family and particularly between Robinson and his conservative father who, the mother said, have "very different" views.
The House of Representatives voted to pass a bill aimed at deterring illegal immigration, over the objections of nearly every Democrat.
The "Stop Illegal Entry" act passed 226-197, with only 11 Democrats crossing the aisle to support the commonsense measure, led by Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Ok.)
As reported by Fox News, if signed into law, the bill would require a 5-year minimum prison sentence for illegal aliens who commit felonies after entering the United States.
Long Island Democrat Laura Gillen (Ny.) called the Stop Illegal Entry Act "common sense," but few in her party seem to agree. She was one of only 11 Democrats who voted for the bill.
The legislation is a direct response to the Biden administration's disastrous immigration policies, which brought millions of illegal aliens into the United States, including dangerous criminals who raped and killed Americans.
"Americans overwhelmingly agree that violent criminals without legal status have no place in our country and should be held accountable to the full extent of our nation’s immigration laws," Gillen said.
"The previous administration’s inaction on the border led to a full-blown crisis that drained taxpayers’ wallets and made our communities less safe."
Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar (Tx.), Don Davis (Nc.), Jared Golden (Me.), Vicente Gonzalez (Tx.), Adam Gray (D-Ca.). Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-Mi.), Frank Mrvan (D-In.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wa.), Tom Suozzi, (D-Ny.), and Gabe Vasquez (D-Nm.) also voted yes.
Democrats have broadly opposed President Trump's mass immigration crackdown, accusing the president of breaking his pledge to target the "worst of the worst" by rounding up people without criminal records.
But the Stop Illegal Entry Act strengthens penalties for criminal aliens, establishing a five-year minimum sentence for illegal aliens who commit felonies.
The bill also strengthens deterrence more broadly by increasing the maximum punishment for illegal re-entry from two years to up to 10 years.
President Trump has already said he will sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk.
“By targeting repeat offenders and imposing harsh penalties on violent felons who re-enter after deportation, this bill defends the rule of law and sends an unmistakable message: if you break our laws, there will be severe consequences,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) “Criminal illegal aliens have no place in this country, and House Republicans are committed to uphold the integrity of our laws.”
This bill is as moderate as it gets on immigration. It would keep out dangerous foreigners who have no place in America and send a clear message to anyone seeking to enter illegally to think twice.
But it's hardly news that Democrats don't want to stop illegal immigration. That's the only reasonable interpretation of this vote.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade is apologizing for some shocking comments he made on TV the other day.
The usually even-keeled host caused outrage after he suggested that mentally ill homeless people should be put to death. Kilmeade is now asking for forgiveness for his "extremely callous" statement.
Kilmeade's remark came as the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has thrust urban crime back into the spotlight, fueling a fresh debate over how to protect riders on public transit from dangerous vagrants.
A homeless, mentally ill repeat offender, Decarlos Brown Jr., was charged with stabbing Zarutska in the neck on a North Carolina train in August.
During a discussion of the horrific, unprovoked murder on Fox and Friends, co-host Lawrence Jones said that mentally ill people who refuse help should be put in jail. Kilmeade went a step beyond and proposed something wildly draconian.
"Or involuntary lethal or something, just kill them," Kilmeade said.
The remark passed unnoticed by Jones and co-host Ainsley Earhardt, who added, "Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?"
A few days later, Kilmeade faced his audience and admitted he messed up.
"We were discussing the murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina and how to stop these kinds of attacks by homeless, mentally ill assailants, including institutionalizing or jailing such people so they cannot attack again," Kilmeade said.
"Now during that discussion, I wrongly said they should get lethal injections. I apologize for that extremely callous remark."
"I am obviously aware that not all mentally ill, homeless people act as the perpetrator did in North Carolina and that so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."
President Trump has called for re-opening insane asylums, which were gradually phased out in the 20th century over concerns about cruel and inhumane treatment.
While Kilmeade's execution remark drew the most attention, he had also urged people to "wake up" and vote for change.
"You can't put — keep putting these people in power. They woke up in Los Angeles, they got a stronger D.A," he said.
Obviously, Kilmeade's suggestion of killing homeless people is cruel and beyond the pale, but the status quo in many blue cities is too extreme in the other direction.
A pathological softness toward criminals has too often allowed dangerous people to roam free, placing innocent people in harm's way. That needs to change, no question.
As President Donald Trump directs U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to continue the crackdown on illegal immigrants and efforts to have the deported, ICE lodged a detainer on an especially dangerous one.
According to Fox News, the federal agency reported Friday that it has filed paperwork for a federal arrest detainer and deportation of an illegal alien who allegedly used a machete to decapitate a Texas merchant.
Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, an illegal immigrant from Cuba, was arrested in Dallas last week and was charged with homocide after a gruesome alleged murder involving a Texas merchant.
The murder, which involved the decapitation of the merchant, reportedly happened in front of his family.
It's understandable why ICE would want to collar him and send him packing, as he's one of the ones President Donald Trump has warned Americans about for years now. The most nasty and the most dangerous type.
Not only did he allegedly decapitate the merchant after the argument in front of the man's family, he then reportedly proceeded to kick the victim's head around "like a soccer ball."
Like other illegals that ICE is attempting to boot out of the country, Cobos-Martinez has a lengthy rap sheet and is quite clearly a danger to society. Yet, President Biden's administration kept him here.
Fox News noted:
He has a prior final order of removal to Cuba and was most recently held in ICE Dallas custody before being released on an order of supervision on January 13, 2025, during the Biden administration, as noted in the release.
At one point, even his home country of Cuba refused to have him back due to his criminal history, which is really saying something.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement regarding his arrest and hopeful deportation.
McLaughlin held nothing back in describing the monster that Cobos-Martinez is.
"This vile monster beheaded this man in front of his wife and child and proceeded to kick the victims’ head on the ground," the statement read.
It added, "This gruesome, savage slaying of a victim at a motel by Yordanis Cobos-Martinez was completely preventable if this criminal illegal alien was not released into our country by the Biden administration since Cuba would not take him back.
One would hope that there wouldn't be any pushback from the courts on this particular case. It's clear that this kind of trash needs to be taken out of the country and locked away.
Redistricting battles are happening all across the country, and Missouri's is making headlines thanks to President Donald Trump's influence.
According to Fox News, the president and the White House scored another massive political victory this week after the Missouri state Senate, in a special legislative session, passed a new congressional map that stands a strong chance at giving Republicans an extra House seat before the 2026 midterms.
The new congressional map passed the Republican-led state Senate in a 21-11 vote, sparking celebrations across the Republican side this week.
Missouri is one of the states that has taken action to pass new congressional maps that will likely hand Republicans a major advantage ahead of the next election cycle.
The bill's passing in the state Senate is especially critical since it had already cleared the state's House of Representatives. Now, it only needs to go to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe for a signature.
Fox News noted:
Missouri, a one-time swing state that has dramatically shifted to the right over the past decade and a half, is the latest battleground in the congressional redistricting showdown after the passage of new maps in GOP-dominated Texas and a redistricting push by Democrats in heavily blue California.
Gov. Kehoe will presumably sign the bill with a smile on his face, given that he recently bragged about the benefits of the new map for Missourians.
"Missouri’s conservative, commonsense values should be truly represented at all levels of government, and the Missouri First Map delivers just that," the governor said recently.
President Trump had touted the new congressional map as much more "fair" than the previous version.
ABC7 noted:
On his social media site Friday, Trump touted Missouri's "much fairer, and much improved, Congressional map" that he said "will help send an additional MAGA Republican to Congress in the 2026 Midterm Elections."
Republicans and conservatives across social media reacted to the news of the passing of the map.

"That’s right. We are taking America back," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Congrats Missouri! You will be saved from your oppression!"
Ever since Charlie Kirk's sickening assassination, ghouls on the left have been getting exposed and fired from their jobs for celebrating the murder. In a disturbing twist, a member of the Secret Service has been caught dancing on Kirk's grave.
In a Facebook post, agent Anthony Pough said that Kirk deserved to be killed for the crime of "spewing hate and racism."
The man accused of killing Kirk, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is a leftist who complained that Kirk was "full of hate" before killing him, according to reports.
Pough has since been suspended, according to Breitbart, and he is facing termination.
Here's what his post said: "If you are Mourning this guy .. delete me. He spewed hate and racism on his show.”
He added, “At the end of the day, you answer to GOD and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesnt [sic] leave.”
This ghoul was exposed by reporter Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics, who noted in her report that Pough has a history of criticizing President Trump on social media.
"If that’s all it takes to set you off, that’s dangerous to have around,” one source in the Secret Service community told Real Clear Politics about the agent’s post. “I’m mostly concerned about the morals of a person sworn to protect the rights of others to engage in politics and exercise free speech, celebrating the death of someone exercising those same rights.”
This individual is clearly dangerous and should be fired ASAP. Not only is it twisted to celebrate the murder of an innocent man, but the victim happens to have been a good friend of Donald Trump.
It is troubling enough that schoolteachers and nurses have been caught glorifying an assassination. But a member of the Secret Service?
“The US Secret Service will not tolerate any behavior which violates our code of conduct,” an agency spokesperson told the New York Post. “We are aware of the employee’s social media post from today, and the individual has been placed on administrative leave as we investigate the matter.”
Let's not forget that President Trump came within an inch of his head exploding in public view last summer. The Secret Service came under heavy scrutiny at the time, and rightly so.
We need to do a better job vetting who is protecting the president.
We absolutely cannot have apologists for political violence working in this job -- especially if they harbor hatred of the president and his friends.
Barron Trump is moving back into the White House, bringing him closer to his mother and father.
The first son spent his freshman year of college in New York, where he took classes at NYU's Greenwich Village campus. He will resume his studies at the university's academic center in Washington, D.C, the New York Post reported.
Barron was most recently living at Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he grew up. He commuted from there to NYU's Stern School of Business, often grabbing the attention of journalists as he came and went.
The president's son had little chance of blending in, and he was said to lead a secluded life, interacting with friends mostly online - a precaution for his safety.
Barron was nowhere in sight when classes resumed last week, fueling speculation about his whereabouts.
NYU's D.C. campus has just 120 students, so it is likely that Barron will be even more noticeable than he was in New York.
The White House will look a little different than it did when Barron was living there during his father's first term. President Trump recently renovated the Rose Garden, and there are plans to complete a grand ballroom before his term is up.
When Barron started college in New York last fall, it was not yet clear that his father would be returning to Washington, D.C.
"It was his [Barron's] decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that," Melania told Fox News last fall.
"I'm very proud of what he grew up to," Melania continued. "His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness. It's admirable."
Barron is known to be close with his family, and his mother is very protective of him. She has taken on a greater role within the White House, pushing anti-revenge porn legislation into law and personally appealing to Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
While her son remains an elusive figure, the 19-year-old college sophomore is said to be a fledgling businessman - who many say has a striking resemblance to his father.
Barron reportedly spent his summer setting up deals and enjoying time with his family.
“Barron has been actively working on his own financial interests and has spent time with others who he is involved with in that area,” a source told People.
Former MMA star Ronda Rousey is pre-emptively shutting down any possibility of appearing in President Trump's cage fight at the White House.
It has been confirmed that Trump will host a match on the South Lawn of the White House next summer to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States.
It is sure to be an unforgettable spectacle, but Rousey, 38, says she wants no part of the historic event.
When asked if she would accept a potential invite, the former UFC bantamweight, who has been retired since 2016, told the Lapsed Fan podcast that she has "better s*** to do."
While there is no indication that the White House has asked her to fight, Rousey is ruling it out.
“I’m not fighting at the White House,” she said. "After Mike Tyson being in the biggest fight of the year, never say never, but I ain’t fighting at the f***ing White House.”
"Even if offered? I got better s*** to do," she said.
Rousey has a history of support for Democratic politicians, backing Bernie Sanders for the presidency in 2016. She has made comments critical of Trump, who was an early supporter of UFC.
Earlier this year, Rousey said she agreed to stop publicly bashing Trump as a favor to UFC president Dana White, who is old friends with Trump.
“In 2016, Dana White specifically made me promise to not say anything bad about Donald Trump because back when they needed a venue and no one would give it to them, he did,” Rousey told NewsNation in April. “And because I feel like I owe Dana my life, I told him, ‘Alright.’”
White has credited Trump with helping to launch the UFC brand by offering his Trump Taj Mahal casino to stage fights, and the president continues to regularly attend UFC events.
After helping UFC grow to what it is today, Trump is taking the promotion company to new heights with plans for an extraordinary cage fight on the South Lawn next June.
There will be weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America’s monumental 250th anniversary,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told the WSJ.
The Trump administration has fired at least four employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for using their government devices to watch porn and arrange sexual encounters in foreign countries.
The firings mark the latest effort by the Trump administration to eliminate government bloat and abuse of taxpayer resources. FEMA falls under the supervision of the Department of Homeland Security.
"This behavior and misuse of government resources is absolutely disgusting.” said Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
"The revolting actions of these employees, now the second group to be caught at FEMA engaged in such acts, represents a clear national security risk. These employees, who had access to highly sensitive systems, spent their duty hours sexting strangers, including foreign nationals, on encrypted government devices. Such conduct is unacceptable, and these employees have been terminated.”
An investigation from the Department of Homeland Security’s Insider Threat Operations Center initially uncovered two employees consuming porn on the job, some of which was "racially charged" and involved "bestiality," the New York Post reported.
The employees were based at a remote FEMA command center in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center near Bluemont, Virginia.
One of the individuals used a chatbot to have graphic messages read aloud in a foreign accent.
“These individuals had access to critical information and intelligence and were entrusted to safeguard Americans from emergencies—and instead they were consuming pornography,” Noem said in a statement.
“And in at least one case the pornography consumed was racially charged and involved bestiality,” Noem said.
An investigation later uncovered a third employee at the same facility who used the government's network to send lewd messages over Facebook messenger to a person in the Philippines.
The chats contained "graphic sexual content, references to a Filipino dating group, and statements about plans to visit the individual overseas later this year," a DHS press release said.
The individual, who was an IT worker with a top security clearance, even searched hotels and discussed plans to travel in November or December, the Daily Caller reported.
"I wish you were here sitting in my lap while I work," the person wrote on August 28. "I want to hug your waist while I work and smell your hair, kiss your neck."
Another FEMA employee uploaded a picture of male genitals to an adult website, where the person had "multiple graphic conversations" all on the taxpayers' dime.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered an icy rebuke of Hillary Clinton in a wide-ranging interview.
Barrett was part of the conservative majority that voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, ending decades of precedent upholding a constitutional right to an abortion. Democrats, including Clinton, have said the Supreme Court's move unsettled the legal foundations of other rights that were established by the courts, such as same-sex marriage.
The Supreme Court has faced mounting criticism as it has turned to the right since Trump's first term, when Barrett was seated along with two other conservatives. Democrats, the media, and the court's own liberal justices have accused the Supreme Court of acting as a rubber stamp for Trump and his supposed war on "our democracy."
In a new CBS interview promoting her book, Barrett emphasized that the court's role is to interpret the law, regardless of what the public wants - even famous people like Clinton.
"So when Hillary Clinton, for example, says what’s next, she said, ‘my prediction is the court will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion,’'" interviewer Norah O'Donnell said.
"I think people who criticize the court who are outside say a lot of different things, but again the point that I make in the book is that we have to tune those things out," Barrett replied.
Some conservative justices on the Supreme Court have shown interest in revisiting Obergefell v. Hodges, the historic 2015 ruling that established a right to same-sex marriage nationwide. Critics of the ruling have said it short-circuited the democratic process and effectively fashioned a new legal right without any basis in the Constitution.
The late Justice Antonin Scalia, who Barrett clerked for in the past, famously said at the time that Obergefell replaced actual legal analysis with the "mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie."
Justice Barrett cited Scalia's vigorous approach to his job as she discussed her own recent smackdown of liberal colleague Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Barrett had accused Jackson of departing from "more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself" in an opinion that drew wide attention. Quoting Scalia, Barrett said, "I attack ideas. I don't attack people."
"That is the spirit in which, you know, I write my opinions," she said.
Defending her role in overturning Roe, Barrett argued the decision did not make abortion illegal but instead gave power back to the people to decide an important question.
"You know, the court was in the business of drawing a lot of those lines before, and what Dobbs says is that those calls are properly left to the democratic process. And the states have been working those out. There's been a lot of legislative activity and a lot of state constitutional activity since the decision in Dobbs was rendered," Barrett said.
Barrett clearly has no apologies about ending Roe, and she did not seem to rule out the chance - however remote it may seem - of Obergefell being overturned, too.
We wager that Clinton will not be thrilled with Barrett's comments in this interview.
