Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer, an influential figure at the White House and self-proclaimed “proud Islamophobe,” will be forced to continue paying the Muslim civil-rights group CAIR after a judge shot down her request Monday to halt payments she had been required to make since 2023 as part of a settlement for a failed lawsuit.

“Since 2023, Ms. Loomer has been sending monthly checks to CAIR as the result of a failed lawsuit she once filed against us (yes, you read that right: America's loudest anti-Muslim extremist has spent years funding America's largest Muslim civil rights group),” reads a statement from CAIR, an acronym for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, based in Washington, D.C.

“We look forward to receiving Ms. Loomer's next check and, insha Allah, once again using her money to defend American Muslims from hate while advancing civil rights for everyone in our nation.”

In 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed a $125,000 judgement against Loomer after she filed a failed lawsuit against CAIR alleging that the organization had forced the social media platform X – then Twitter – to restrict her account.

A settlement reached in 2023 allowed for Loomer to pay only $73,500 in monthly installments, but after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis designated CAIR as a “foreign terrorist organization” in late 2025, Loomer requested that the court allow her to stop making payments.

The request was rejected on Monday, with CAIR Litigation Director Lena Masri celebrating the decision, as well as Loomer’s continued payments which she said will be used to fund “legal representation to the American Muslim community and advance free speech.”

Loomer has frequently attacked Muslims, calling them “savages” and describing Islam as a “cancer.” She’s been hugely influential in the Trump administration and is tied to dozens of high-profile firings across multiple federal agencies.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Buterin unveils Ethereum’s strategy to tackle quantum security challenges ahead. Ethereum focuses on simplifying architecture while boosting security for users. Ethereum’s market stability grows as Buterin’s roadmap gains investor confidence. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled his long-term vision for the blockchain, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-secure while maintaining its simplicity for users. Buterin presented his roadmap at the Japanese Developer Conference, and splits the future of Ethereum into three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. Buterin’s most ambitious goal for Ethereum is to safeguard the blockchain against the threats posed by quantum computing.  The danger of such future developments is that the future may call into question the cryptographic security of most blockchain systems, and Ethereum will be able to remain ahead thanks to more sophisticated mathematical techniques to ensure the safety and integrity of its protocols. Buterin is committed to ensuring that Ethereum evolves in a way that not only meets today’s security challenges but also prepares for the unknowns of tomorrow.

An important aspect of this vision is to remove unnecessary complexity and make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable without losing its strong security capabilities. Security and simplicity form the core of Buterin’s strategy, as they guarantee that the users of Ethereum experience both security and smooth processes. Focus on Speed and Efficiency in the Short-Term In the short term, Buterin aims to enhance Ethereum’s transaction efficiency, a crucial step toward improving scalability and reducing transaction costs. These advantages are attributed to the fact that, within the mid-term, Ethereum is planning to enhance the speed of transactions in layer-2 networks. According to Butterin, this is part of Ethereum’s expansion, particularly because there is still more need to use blockchain technology to date. The other important aspect of Ethereum’s development is the layer-2 solutions. Buterin supports an approach in which the layer-2 networks are dependent on layer-1 to perform some essential tasks like data security, proof, and censorship resistance. This will enable the layer-2 systems of Ethereum to be concerned with verifying and sequencing transactions, which will improve the overall speed and efficiency of the network. Ethereum’s Market Stability Reflects Confidence in Long-Term Strategy Ethereum’s market performance has remained solid, with the cryptocurrency holding steady above $4,000. Currently priced at $4,492.15, Ethereum has experienced a slight 0.93% increase over the last 24 hours, while its trading volume surged by 8.72%, reaching $34.14 billion. These figures point to growing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term vision. The crypto community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future, with many predicting the price could rise to $5,500 by mid-October. Buterin’s clear, forward-thinking strategy continues to build trust in Ethereum as one of the most secure and scalable blockchain platforms in the market.
