In early 2025, 22-year-old Jessica Plichta, who proudly identified herself as a “cadre member of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO),” was arrested during a pro-Maduro protest in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Despite her open declaration of revolutionary loyalty, most media outlets portrayed her as a “preschool teacher” and “anti-war activist,” omitting her connection to a Marxist-Leninist group currently under congressional scrutiny.

Ever wonder how an Nvidia GB200 NVL72 gets from the factory to the data center? You can’t just throw a state-of-the-art 3,000 lb rack (compared to ~500 lb for CPU-based server) on a standard FedEx truck. Moving AI infrastructure is more like transporting a heart for transplant than shipping electronics. (1/9) 🧵
A fully loaded AI rack can weigh up to 3,700 lbs. That’s the weight of a Ford Explorer concentrated into a 2x4 foot footprint. Standard pallets would crush instantly. These AI racks require custom-engineered reinforced bases with shock-absorbent foam just to keep them from tearing through the floor. (2/9)
Unlike Ford Explorers that are made for ruggedness and the great outdoors - AI servers are packed with thousands of costly and sensitive components (think accelerator, HBM stacks, liquid cooling loops etc.) that are hyper-sensitive to any sudden movement. A single hard "thud" can dislodge a single component, rendering the rack inoperable and making maintenance necessary.
To protect delicate components from damage during transit, these racks sit on integrated heavy-duty shock absorbers and specialized shock-mount bases designed to neutralize impact. This setup is paired with custom foam layers for advanced vibration dampening, which effectively mitigates vertical G-forces. By allowing the pallet to "bounce" and absorb the energy from road hazards like potholes, the packaging ensures the high-value silicon and interconnects remain perfectly stationary and secure. (3/9)

Multiple expansion was just falling interest rates in disguise.

$IonQ 📊 VALUATION ANALYSIS: IonQ’s $16.7B market cap may significantly undervalue its strategic asset base
An institutional-grade analysis reveals intellectual property, government contracts, and vertical integration creating assets potentially worth multiples of current valuation.
Key metrics examined:
• 900+ patent portfolio across quantum stack
• $300M+ government contracts pipeline
• $3.95B acquisition spend building unique platform
• 62% institutional ownership with recent accumulation
• DMEA Category 1A trusted foundry access (only quantum company)
This thread breaks down each asset class with comparable valuations and explains why IonQ’s strategic positioning creates defensible competitive moats that may not be fully reflected in current price.
🧵👇
#IonQ #ValuationAnalysis #QuantumComputing
STRATEGIC ACQUISITION TIMELINE: $3.95B Investment Building Vertical Integration
Eight acquisitions in 12 months (January 2025 - January 2026) constructed the only fully integrated quantum platform globally:
• SkyWater Technology (In Progress): $1.8B - Three U.S. foundries, DMEA Category 1A trusted semiconductor manufacturing
Total Investment:
$3.95B creating capabilities spanning computing, networking, sensing, space infrastructure, and domestic chip fabrication.
No competitor has assembled this full-stack integration.
#MergersAndAcquisitions #VerticalIntegration
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO:
900+ Patents = $3-5B Implied Value
IonQ’s patent portfolio now spans the entire quantum technology stack with defensible positions in four distinct verticals:
• Quantum Networking: 118 patents from Qubitekk covering quantum key distribution (QKD) and entanglement distribution protocols
• Post-Quantum Cryptography: ~300 patents from ID Quantique in quantum-safe encryption and secure communications
• Quantum Sensing: 29 patents from Vector Atomic covering atomic clocks, gyroscopes, and precision measurement
• Photonic Interconnects: 20+ patents from Lightsynq on quantum memory and photonic chip-to-chip connections
Comparable IP Valuations in Technology Sectors:
In 5G infrastructure, patent portfolios of 500-800 patents have commanded $2-4B valuations in acquisition contexts (Nortel patents to Rockstar Consortium for $4.5B).
In semiconductor IP, ARM’s architecture licensing (built on extensive patent portfolio) generated $2.7B annual revenue before NVIDIA’s attempted $40B acquisition.
IonQ’s 900+ patents cover fundamental technologies with 20-30 year protection horizons in a nascent industry where IP barriers create winner-take-most dynamics.
Conservative valuation: $3-5B, representing 20-30% of current market cap from IP assets alone.
This patent fortress makes organic competition extraordinarily difficult competitors would need 5-10 years and billions in R&D to develop equivalent technology positions, if technically achievable at all.

The modern world drains our natural resources, and we try to patch those holes with synthetic solutions when nature holds its own answers.
To get your system back in balance, skip the pills and focus on these 12 habits that nature intended for you:
1) Grounding > nattokinase
Touching the ground increases the negative charge (zeta potential) of your red blood cells.
It thins your blood and reduces clumping 2.7x more effectively than many supplements, without chemical side effects.
2) Morning sunlight > melatonin
10 minutes of morning sun hits your retina and sets your brain’s master clock.
It primes your body to produce its own melatonin 14 hours later. Taking a 5mg pill causes a "melatonin hangover" and suppresses your natural production.

Our new paper on reassessing the heritability of human lifespan is out in @ScienceMagazine! 🧬
For decades, the consensus has been that genetics explains just 20–25% of lifespan differences. We found that after accounting for extrinsic mortality, that number jumps to ~50%.
A 🧵
The classic 20-25% estimate comes from a Danish study on twins born 1870-1900. By comparing the similarities in lifespans between identical and non-identical twins, one can get a handle on heritability.
If you look at the plots above, you’ll find twin pairs where one died age 30 and the other age 90. What’s going on here? To answer that, we first must make the distinction between extrinsic deaths - caused by infections, accidents, or violence - and intrinsic deaths.
2. What is the rescue plan? Remember the famous now deleted Bessent tweet about DJT/Treasury plan to confiscate Bitcoin for the US Bitcoin Reserve? That was updated once the backlash on the tweet went out. Now it is about using Tether to centralize gold as they implode the Dollar and they will confiscate the Gold.
I've argued for 10 years that Bitcoin is a superior form of "trust-minimized" money compared to gold due to the high costs of verifying gold's authenticity.
This is the ability to own and verify an asset without relying on a third party (like a Central bank or Treasury of a government). Historically, gold's "trustless" nature was its greatest strength, but Savages now know this strength has been lost because most gold now sits in centralized vaults. This is why DJT won't let anyone audit Fort Knox. Why audit what you plan to steal?
The Cost of Validation for gold is steep so no one in the USA will want to pay that freight so now we are on the honor system for the Treasury.
Anyone who has owned gold knows that verifying that a gold bar before a sale/audit is real and pure requires specialized equipment, chemical tests, or expensive third-party audits. Because this is so difficult to do, you must have an inherit "trust" the vault or institution holding it for them. + Treasury and Bessent play. What did they do in 2025. They brought their middle man in. Tether. Go check if I am bullshitting you. Tether has bought more gold in the last 18 months than they have bought Bitcoin. Why? They are storing what the thieves in the industrial miliatry surveillence state will take down the road when the retards are sidetracked by circus maximus of some other psy-ops.
Why isn't Tether buying Bitcoin in this case? Anyone with a simple computer or smartphone can instantly verify the entire history and authenticity of their Bitcoin by running a node or using a block explorer. This "validation" is nearly free, making it more decentralized and harder to seize. Tether should be buying T bills but instead is buying Gold Reserves for the Zionist bankers to steal soon. Got it, my Savages.
Bitcoiners should know and remember their history better. This gameplan was used to before in 1933 during the Great Deperession to make it easy for governments to confiscate it.....Remember FDR's EO?
The U.S. did this already with Executive Order 6102 in 1933.
Looting and Centralization are the play. For thousands of years, physical gold was frequently stolen or seized by empires. To protect it, it was eventually moved into highly secure, centralized vaults (like those at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Bank of England under control of the Treasury Head.
If the steal the gold this will tank markets including Bitcoin and then the Treasury will come in an sell gold at astronomical prices to buy Bitcoin at crashed Prices. This is how the Rockefeller and Rothschild Banks plan to do this.
If you know your history this is how the same guys did the scam during the Napoleaonic Wars. They manipulated the market with a psy-ops. In 1812 it was the Battle of Waterloo.
WAKE THE FUCK UP.
If you knew this history would would not be so gullible.

Per due giorni il fiume ti tiene giù

For years, the West didn't know what to do with Russians who reject Putin. Engage them? Ignore them? Sanction them anyway?
That confusion just ended. @PACE_News has launched a formal platform for Russian democratic forces.
🧵Here's why this matters [1/14]
First, what is PACE? The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe—the continent's oldest international parliamentary body. 46 countries, founded in 1949 to defend human rights and democratic governance.
Russia was expelled in 2022 after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
[2/14]
PACE is not the EU Parliament and has no legislative power. But its members are parliamentarians who make decisions in their own countries. This platform gives Russian democratic opposition direct access to decision-makers across 46 nations.

Imagine boosting your ROAS without even tweaking the ad account.
While many fixate on:
- ad account structure,
- bidding type,
- attribution settings,
There's a world beyond these factors that can dramatically impact your ROAS.
Here's how:
1 Understanding of the numbers
Often, brand owners don’t know what their targets are.
For example is one guy who was spending 2k a day with a ROAS of 3, and when I asked him what his target ROAS was, he said that 6 would be nice, but
When I did a calculation of his breakeven ROAS, it turned out it was just 1.4.
This means he could have scaled waaaay more so far.
Another thing related to numbers that I often see founders not realising is that your ROAS target can go down as you scale, and you’ll still make more or the same money, while acquiring more customers.
Silny nacisk kładzie się na jutrzejszy raport PPI. Przegląd dodatkowych danych przed zastosowaniem modelu „skali ” poprawi ocenę perspektyw rynkowych.
Prognozy konsensusu wskazują na schładzanie inflacji w większości miar PPI. Gorący odczyt PPI, pokazujący wysoką inflację, wywoła presję sprzedażową na altcoinach.
W przypadku PPI r/r, dane z ostatnich 18 miesięcy pokazują dwa wyjątkowo wysokie odczyty, które wypadną teraz poza 12-miesięczną średnią. To naturalnie obniża średni wskaźnik r/r. Jednak wysoki miesięczny odczyt inflacji (m/m) będzie miał silniejszy, niedźwiedzi wpływ, tłumiąc prognozy niższej inflacji.

Wysoki odczyt PPI może stać się katalizatorem dla rozwijającej się formacji głowy z ramionami, uruchamiając ruch spadkowy na Bitcoinie.

Need to have a full look over my notes/re-watch parts of the hearing, but my initial thoughts on the appeal are this. The SG's chance of winning are higher than I initially thought, but I still remain hopeful. Legal communications are to remain confidential, this is a long
establish principle dating back centuries and common law. However, FOISA enables publication of such communications, which goes against this principle of confidentiality. Given that the judges are of course legal figured themselves, they will very much appreicate this.
There is also, an issue with FOISA and section 50(5) as it stands, particularly in this unique case. That section enables a public body to refuse to hand over legal communications to the SIC. So what is the SIC supposed to do when he doesn't have the information that is in

After the June war, the Islamic Republic took away several lessons.
Unfortunately, they're almost uniformly the wrong ones. 1/
2/ By any objective measure, the 12 day war was a lopsided affair: Iran's defensive capabilities were AWOL, its missiles and drones mostly repelled, and its intelligence failures were massive.
Yet the IRI's narrative is that the conflict was a victory.
3/ This narrative is based on a couple of elements - the ability to maintain command and control despite opening strikes against senior military leadership, U.S./Israeli request for ceasefire, and the fact that the system was, at the end, still standing.
To the freezing in Nashville: Do you know that only SEVEN outages are being worked on right now? And it’s not even the largest seven. NES doesn’t have the resources/processes in place to handle more than a handful of outages. 834 outages have no one assigned to them.
WHERE IS THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL?
WHERE ARE THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS?
Here’s a thread outlining what I’ve found out so far 🧵:
People were texting me that NES crews were in various parking lots doing nothing and when asked why, the crews said they were waiting for assignments. So I started digging in. Turns out, NES is being cute with their language and saying that crews are “in the field” and that just means out and waiting (in parking lots apparently). It does NOT mean that the crews are working on an outage.
In fact, y’all can check for yourself how many outages are assigned at any given moment. You’ll see that right now they are only working on SEVEN outages and EIGHT HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR (yes 834!) remain unassigned, with no crew assigned.

1/ While there are exceptions, there appears to be a trend of America's traditional allies derisking from United States. As an American who long has viewed the US global alliance network as one of its asymmetric strengths, I take no satisfaction in this observation. (short 🧵).
2/ The flow of leaders to China is striking. French, Canadian, Irish, British, Korean, Finnish, and soon German leaders visiting Beijing in recent weeks. Beijing isn't making its offering more attractive or growing less aggressive. It is presenting a predictable alternative.
3/ The EU-India trade deal is another example of efforts underway to derisk from US. There will be more examples along these lines. Canadian PM Carney's Davos speech broke through in part because it gave definition to a trend that is gathering pace.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny delivers a vaccine warning every parent should hear before it’s too late.
“Vaccines have never been proven to be safe. They don’t keep you from getting sick… and every single one causes HARM.”
Most believe they’re “fine” after vaccines, but Tenpenny says that confidence is misleading, beginning with three uncomfortable questions:
1.) “Do you have any idea what’s going on at a cellular level in your body? From your mitochondria or your ovaries or your brain?”
2.) “When you were a baby, and you got vaccines, did you scream and cry? Did your mother ever tell you that it is a sign of encephalitis (brain inflammation)?”
3.) “And what if your IQ is really meant to be 15 or 20 points higher? You would not know that.”
The real danger with vaccines, Dr. Tenpenny argues, has nothing to do with “rare side effects.”
It’s about damage you’d never know how to measure. And once you see the pattern, it’s impossible to ignore. 🧵
This information comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.
For all the sources and details, read the full report below.
The medical industry often dismisses vaccine injury as “psychological.”
Why? The symptoms are often varied, can range in severity, and are hard to classify. Basically, they’re all over the map. And doctors have been encourage through various means to put blinders on when it comes to vaccine injury.
But history shows that this has happened before. Reports of strange, disabling, and very real physiological symptoms after vaccination go back more than a century.
The patterns have always been there, hidden in plain sight under constantly shifting labels.

🚨THREE days before executing Alex Pretti, the SAME agents almost killed another U.S. citizen…🚨
While illegally detaining unaccompanied minors, using excessive force, causing multiple car accidents, and assaulting multiple U.S. citizens… all in one video.
The video starts with agents checking the ID of a 16-year-old girl they had just hit with their car.
She has a U.S. passport.
They don’t care.
They had already taken her 15-year-old brother after scanning his face.
They seize her passport, and then handcuff her.
At the front of the car, you can see a U.S. citizen legally observing.
Not interfering, or moving.
Just filming.
Suddenly, agents swarm them and tackle them to the ground.
Multiple men put their full body weight on the person’s back. One agent hits them in the face, and then pushes his knee into their face, while another pulls the person’s hair…
All while the person lays motionless.
Their nose starts bleeding into the snow. They’re struggling to talk, let alone breathe. All while they are not resisting.
When the agents finally lift them up, blood is running down their face.
And the agent’s rampage continues.
Agents are then seen smashing a car window and try to grab the driver while the car is not in park, nearly running over another agent in the process.
Multiple people are now on the ground.
One man has been pepper sprayed, his glasses knocked off.
A woman walks up.
Without warning, an agent pepper sprays her directly in the eyes, blinding her, while they yell at her to move.
She can’t see where she’s going, so the person filming has to lead her to the sidewalk.
The camera turns back.
The man who was pepper sprayed earlier is now standing, lethargic, disoriented, and unable to see without his glasses, and with pepper spray in his eyes.
They slam him back to the ground.
An agent walks over, pepper sprays him again, inches from his eyes, and casually walks away.
This is believed to be the same agent who later shot Alex Pretti in the back.
As three agents put their full weight on this man, other agents begin throwing tear gas, including a canister thrown right next to his head.
The entire area fills with thick smoke.
You can hear agents accidentally hitting a car because they can’t see.
After multiple pepper sprayings, physical assault, and tear gas deployment right next to his face, the agents simply stand up and walk away.
They leave him lying in the middle of the street, surrounded by smoke, without glasses, effectively blinded, after already causing crashes due to lack of visibility.
Eventually, he manages to get up and run for help, begging bystanders to assist him.
And these are the same agents who later illegally assaulted women for filming, then assaulted Alex Pretti for helping them, using excessive force, pepper spray, and bear spray…
Before tackling Alex Pretti, beating him, removing his legal firearm…
and executing him.
This is what happens when agents are trained to ignore the Constitution, are protected from consequences, and told that violence is policy.
If this blatant abuse is allowed to continue, it’s no longer a question of if another U.S. citizen will die…
It’s only a question of when, and how many more they think they can get away with before anyone stops them.
We need to stop pretending this isn’t going to happen again.

Cutting through the noise: key to this crisis is not what the US does--US action will be kept to Iran--but how Iran responds.
Assessing risk of regional war depends on assessing how Iran manages its response.
What (if anything) could push Iran into escalating the conflict?
Iran has offensive capabilities. But it is also vulnerable to offensive action. It can respond to attacks, but the posture of US/Israel/Gulf states makes any attack of limited utility.
Rolling the dice on Hormuz triggers a much broader retaliation. It would be near suicidal.
Iran's problem since True Promise I (or Soleimani, really) has been a loss of credibility re: deterrence.
It has shown again and again that it will absorb significant hits and retaliate in a measured, calibrated way.
Will it continue that streak if the US attacks now?
I took a closer look at the UK government's new 'AI Skills Hub', and it is insane.
It includes 'courses' that are simply links to info pages about PhD programs; 'courses' that are literally just software developer documentation; and 'courses' that don't exist at all.
Short 🧵
Let's start by being generous - a course that's actually a course.
But it's labelled as a free course, when in fact you have to pay to take it.
Then there are courses that don't seem to exist. Like this one, which when you try to book just takes you to a 404 page.

I spoke with @MohapatraHemant to share the hard lessons I've learnt and what it takes to build in AI
tl;dr takeaways 🧵
Control the infra: Most AI startups are just UI slapped on a 3rd party API. That's a feature, not a company.
For production-grade software, we built our own container tech and coding agents from the ground up. If you don’t control infra, you don’t control the feedback loop.
The 0.2s Rule: I tell my team, AI is an "Olympic race." No one remembers the runner-up who lost by 0.2 seconds. In a high-growth AI startup, every delay is a compounding loss. We fight entropy every single day to save those 0.2 s. Momentum is the only thing that keeps us ahead.

🔥🔥🔥Bad Kitteh has European Union butt to kick today. What I’ve already reported on how their DSA censorship rules were created should have ended it. @ElonMusk was fined by rules created by the Global Trump resistance!
Hello, is anyone listening?
The radical leftist, Avaaz, used pressure campaigns and activists to get their way on censorship. Once even using a million people to pressure Facebook. They even worked with Imran Ahmed of the Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) too.
Avaaz was created by MoveOn, a key player in the Soros Democracy Alliance Trump Resistance, aka Serbian Otpor. And Avaaz is used to stop “Trumps” globally.
Avaaz is also partnered with Newsguard. And was a signatory for the EU Code of Practice on Disinfo.
About a year ago, I did a 5 part series on Avaaz, with tons of evidence, that I’m going to review today.
Avaaz even ran a disinfo war room in Brussels and EU brass visited them regularly.
Here’s a couple of quotes so you understand what Avaaz is about:
“Avaaz is the epicenter of the global resistance to Trump. Together, we've helped defeat Trumpism at the ballot box in Western Europe, and defeated Trump's attempt to kill the Paris climate agreement.”
“Avaaz has planned a massive, people-powered uprising to help defeat the far right. We'll expose the wolves in sheep's clothing, uniting millions in a defiant rejection of hate and planetary destruction.”
Now onto my EU evidence.
♦️ Avazz:
“We can honestly say Europe’s new Digital Services Act wouldn’t look like it does without Avaaz.
We ran massive investigations into the harms caused by social media and shared our findings everywhere. Then we drafted groundbreaking legislative proposals.
EU Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager endorsed our call for a “Paris Agreement of the Internet”. And EU Commissioner Thierry Breton was so convinced by our research that he went on TV to talk about it the day after we met him!
For over four years, our movement - together with an inspiring civil society coalition – has been at the forefront of this battle to protect citizens and democracy.
In 2019, many EU lawmakers didn’t really understand the problem. The idea that lies and conspiracy theories going viral online.
So, inspired by a Lithuanian project, we hired researchers we called “elves” to investigate internet “trolls” and reveal the scale of the disinformation problem, especially the impact it was having in Europe.
Working from a war room in Brussels, our team of 30 “elves” uncovered what 30,000 Facebook monitors and their team of experts seemed to have missed: huge networks, using fake accounts and inauthentic pages, spreading toxic lies and hatred across Europe ahead of crucial elections. Following our investigation, Facebook took down networks that could reach an estimated 3 BILLION (!!!!) views in a single year!!
As election day approached, top EU politicians, journalists and security experts were coming to our war room almost every day for information and briefings.
Top EU officials were shocked by what we had found and asked us: what could be done?
So, working with social media insiders, academics and lawmakers, we developed research-backed proposals to clean up social media.
And we didn’t let go – showing up at every single meeting, event or video call with our findings, and publishing ever more evidence exposing how platforms were failing. We even organised a conference on disinformation bringing together some of the most influential EU politicians and executives from Facebook and Twitter to make our case!
We even delivered messages to politicians from Avaaz members across Europe in beautifully made books!”
Video- Imran Ahmed of the Center For Countering Digital hate worked with Avaaz on the Paris Agreement For Disinfo to work on the DSA. This was attended by EU Vice President Commissioner Věra Jourová, and EU commissioners etc.
Avaaz was created from a regime change org, ResPublica, and MoveOn. This is what is running the global Trump and populist resistance.
Avaaz was called the globe's largest and most powerful online activist network.
Is it any wonder that MoveOn is running a Serbian Otpor on Trump? Otpor defined is resistance.
After I share the 5 parts on Avaaz, I’ll review the MoveOn Trump Resistance.
When the left writes the rules that censor the right, be careful what you admit to.
This part also mostly discusses what I mentioned in my top post. Feel free to move on to Part 3 without missing much.
Dsa - “As we met with decision-maker after decision-maker to argue that the legislation should focus on holding platforms accountable for harms created by their algorithms, slowly the idea started to gain traction.”
“After years of work, months of negotiations, and a final stretch of over 16 hours of non-stop discussions in Brussels, it happened: officials and lawmakers agreed upon a historic law that holds platforms accountable for the harms caused by their algorithms.”
🚨 MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION FILED
January 28, 2026 | JUDICIAL HIJACKING | DEFAULT JUDGMENT BYPASS | FRCP 55(a) VIOLATED - ADA VIOALTIONS @EDNYnews
EDNY Case 2:23-cv-06507-SJB-AYS
CORE VIOLATION: Judge Bulsara & Judge Shields were PERMANENTLY RECUSED on November 5 & 17, 2025 (DE [127]).
March 2024: Public statements by @SenJohnKennedy raised concerns regarding Judge Bulsara, which are relevant to the issues presented herein.(J. Bulsara nominated by @SenSchumer)
Yet on November 26, an unlawful ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE reassigned the case BACK to them—WITHOUT notice, WITHOUT explanation, WITHOUT opportunity to object.
🔴 THE LEGAL REALITY:
Under 28 U.S.C. § 455, recusal is PERMANENT and divests judges of ALL jurisdiction. An administrative note CANNOT override a mandatory recusal order.
🔴 CONSEQUENCE:
All post-recusal rulings are VOID AB INITIO—legally null from the moment issued.
This includes:
✓ DE [143] (Jan 16, 2026) – Dismissal
✓ Filing injunctions (Aug 14 & Sep 16, 2025)
✓ All orders after Nov 5 & 17, 2025
📋 LEGAL AUTHORITY:
• Liljeberg v. Health Servs. Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847 (1988)
• Contreras v. Bourke (Ariz. Aug. 21, 2025)
• FRCP 60(b)(4) – Void judgments must be vacated
The Motion for Reconsideration demands immediate intervention under 28 U.S.C. § 137 and EDNY Rule 50.4 and 50.5
Plaintiff invoked EDNY Division of Business Rule 50.4 and 50.5 because the District Judge and Magistrate Judge assigned to the case were permanently recused and disqualified from further participation, leaving the matter without an authorized judicial officer.
Why invoke EDNY Rules 50.4 & 50.5?
Once judges are recused, they lose the authority to act. The case must be routed to the Chief Judge (Rule 50.4) or a Duty/Miscellaneous Judge (Rule 50.5) so a neutral judge with jurisdiction can hear emergency matters. Anything else risks voiding orders and due-process violations.
@EDNYnews Division of Business
Rule 50.4 expressly permits reassignment in the interest of justice where continued handling by the assigned judges is impossible or improper (judge(s) cannot properly continue, including due to recusal, disqualification, incapacity, or other circumstances). Invocation of Rule 50.4 was therefore necessary to secure prompt reassignment to the Chief Judge, prevent further void post-recusal actions, and preserve Plaintiff’s due process right to adjudication by a neutral judge with jurisdiction.
Rule 50.5 Permits and governs the administrative procedure for reassignment after a judge’s disqualification or recusal, ensuring the case is transferred to a different, authorized judicial officer and preventing further action by the disqualified judge.
DEMANDS: 1. Declare all post-recusal rulings VOID & strike DE [143] 2. Lift unlawful injunctions (Aug 14 & Sep 16, 2025) 3. Restore filing privileges + ADA electronic filing 4. Reassign to neutral judge 5. Issue Temporary Restraining Order under FRCP 65(b)
🔴 THE PATTERN:
Judge Bulsara previously reversed for ignoring controlling law. Senator Kennedy's March 2024 hearing: Judge Bulsara's boss stated he "ignored a large collection of cases in this District."
Same defect here. He ignored 28 U.S.C. § 455.
🔴 VIOLATIONS:
✓ Recusal violation (§ 455)
✓ Injunction without notice/hearing (FRCP 65)
✓ Docket manipulation (FRCP 5(d)(4))
✓ Denial of ADA accommodations
✓ Obstruction of justice (18 U.S.C. § 1503)
برگی سیاه بر تاریخ طولانی ملت ما افزوده شده است که ایران شبیه آن را به یاد ندارد. هرچه روزها میگذرند، ابعاد هولانگیز واقعه بیشتر نمایان میشود. خیانت و جنایتی بزرگ در حق مردم روی داده است. خانهها عزادارند./۱
کوچهها عزادارند؛ شهرها و قصبهها عزادارند. پس از سالها تصاعدِ شدتِ سرکوب، این فاجعهای است که تا دههها، بلکه سدهها، از آن یاد خواهد شد. و رودخانهای از خونِ گرمِ محرومان که در دیماه سرد بر زمین به جریان افتاد، تا مسیر تاریخ را تغییر ندهد، از جوشش باز نخواهد ایستاد./۲
مردم به چه زبانی بگویند که این نظام را نمیخواهند و دروغهایتان را باور نمیکنند. دیگر بس است. بازی به پایان رسید. ستمها دامنتان را گرفت و درختان زقومی که میکاشتید میوه آورد. آن زمان که علیه ملت خویش لباس رزم میپوشیدید، داشتید تیشه به ریشهٔ خویش میزدید. /۳
