Trump announces new ‘serious power’ fighter jets for Michigan Guard base to replace aging A-10s

President Donald Trump unveiled new plans Tuesday to swap out the retiring A-10 Warthog aircraft based out of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets. 

Trump shared details of the new fighter jet mission during a speech to National Guardsmen at the Michigan base for an event commemorating his 100th day in office. 

Selfridge will become the fourth military installation to operate the fighter jet, which only entered operational service in July 2024. 

‘Fresh off the line. That means they are brand new,’ Trump said. ‘They’ve never been anywhere. This is where they’re going to be for a long time. And I saw one of them, flew over my head, and I said, ‘What the hell is that?’ That plane has serious power. So this is the best there is anywhere in the world, the F-15EX Eagle II. This will keep Selfridge at the cutting edge of Northern American air power.’

The next-generation fighter jet is currently only operating at three other bases, all National Guard: Portland Air National Guard Base in Oregon; Fresno Air National Guard Base in California; and New Orleans Air National Guard Base in Louisiana. 

The fighter jet is an updated version of the F-15C Eagle aircraft that the Air Force introduced in 1989, and features bolstered fuel efficiency, radar and avionics, according to the Air National Guard. The jet is designed to work alongside other Air Force aircraft, including the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II fighter jets. 

‘America’s military will soon be stronger and more powerful than ever before, and Selfridge Air National Guard Base will remain at the center of the action,’ Trump said. 

Trump’s announcement comes amid lengthy debate between Congress and the executive branch about how to phase out the A-10. While Congress put a stop to former President Barack Obama’s administration’s attempts to retire the aircraft, Trump’s first administration called to keep the aircraft in service. 

Meanwhile, former President Joe Biden’s administration moved to start retiring the aircraft more aggressively in 2023. 

The Air Force introduced the A-10 in 1977, and the aircraft experienced combat for the first time during the Gulf War. 

In March, Trump shared that Boeing would build the Air Force’s next-generation fighter jet, known as the F-47. An experimental version had been covertly flying for years, he said. 

The Next Generation Air Defense initiative that the Biden administration put on the back burner will oversee the effort. However, the Trump administration revived the program. 

‘I’m thrilled to announce that at my direction the United States Air Force is moving forward with the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet,’ Trump said in March. ‘Nothing in the world comes even close to it, and it’ll be called the ‘F-47,’ the generals picked that title.’

Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.

April 29, 2025 TheNewswire Vancouver, British Columbia Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. (the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE: BLLG; FSE: 7BL; OTCQB: BLAGF) is pleased to announce that it has completed the final tranche of its previously announced private placement financing (see news releases dated February 24 and March 31, 2025) by issuing 8,900,000 units (‘Units’) at a price of $0.25 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,225,000 (the ‘Offering’). This brings the total proceeds raised across four tranches to $4,871,750.

The final tranche was subscribed for entirely by existing shareholders and strategic investors, including Crescat Capital and Nicola Mining, both of whom increased their positions in the Company. The Offering was met with strong demand and was oversubscribed .

Rana Vig, President and CEO, commented:

‘This overwhelming support — especially from highly sophisticated shareholders like Crescat and Nicola — signals tremendous confidence in Blue Lagoon’s future. We are now fully funded to launch production this summer. With one of only nine mining permits granted in British Columbia over the past decade, our Dome Mountain Gold Project is on track to generate cash flow from production and drive the next phase of growth. Dome Mountain is just getting started, and we’re excited to unlock its full potential.’

Each Unit sold in the Offering consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The common shares issued are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Proceeds from the Offering will be used to complete construction of the Company’s water treatment plant at its fully permitted Dome Mountain Gold Project, and to provide initial working capital as Blue Lagoon prepares to commence production in the summer of 2025.

The Company paid $52,630 and issued 30,520 warrants as finders fees in connection with the Offering. The finders warrants may be exercised to acquire common shares of the Company at a price of $0.35 per common share for two years.

About Blue Lagoon Resources Inc.

Blue Lagoon Resources is a Canadian based publicly listed mining company (CSE: BLLG; FSE: 7BL; OTCQB: BLAGF) focused on building shareholder value through the aggressive development of its 100% owned Dome Mountain Gold project. The Company is run by professionals with significant finance and mining experience and operates within a prime mining jurisdiction in British Columbia, Canada. With the granting of a full mining permit, a key milestone achieved in February 2025 – one of only nine such permits issued in British Columbia since 2015 – Blue Lagoon is now focused on last preparatory activities and tasks related to the safe and secure opening of the Dome Mountain Gold Mine, targeting Q3 2025 as the start of gold production . The Company’s primary objective has always been to become a cash-flowing mining company, to ultimately deliver tangible monetary value to shareholders, state, and local communities.

The Company is not basing its production decision at Dome Mountain on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The production decision is based on having existing mining infrastructure, past bulk sampling and processing activity, and the established mineral resource.  The Company understands that there is increased uncertainty, and consequently a higher risk of failure, when production is undertaken in advance of a feasibility study.

Pfizer CEO says tariff uncertainty is deterring further U.S. investment in manufacturing, R&D

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s planned pharmaceutical tariffs is deterring the company from further investing in U.S. manufacturing and research and development. 

Bourla’s remarks on the company’s first-quarter earnings call came in response to a question about what Pfizer wants to see from tariff negotiations that would push the company to increase investments in the U.S. It comes as drugmakers brace for Trump’s levies on pharmaceuticals imported into the country — his administration’s bid to boost domestic manufacturing.

“If I know that there will not be tariffs … then there are tremendous investments that can happen in this country, both in R&D and manufacturing,” Bourla said on the call, adding that the company is also hoping for “certainty.”

“In periods of uncertainty, everybody is controlling their cost as we are doing, and then is very frugal with their investment, as we are doing, so that we are prepared for remit. So that’s what I want to see,” Bourla said.

Bourla noted the tax environment, which had previously pushed manufacturing abroad, has “significantly changed now” with the establishment of a global minimum tax of around 15%. He said that shift hasn’t necessarily made the U.S. more attractive, saying “it’s not as good” to invest here without additional incentives or clarity around tariffs.

“Now [Trump] I’m sure — and I know because I talked to him — that he would like to see even a reduction in the current tax regime particularly for locally produced goods,” Bourla said, adding a further decrease would be would be a strong incentive for manufacturing in the U.S.

Unlike other companies grappling with evolving trade policy, Pfizer did not revise its full-year outlook on Tuesday. However, the company noted in its earnings release that the guidance “does not currently include any potential impact related to future tariffs and trade policy changes, which we are unable to predict at this time.”

But on the earnings call on Tuesday, Pfizer executives said the guidance does reflect $150 million in costs from Trump’s existing tariffs.

“Included in our guidance that we didn’t really speak about is there are some tariffs in place today,” Pfizer CFO Dave Denton said on the call.

“We are contemplating that within our guidance range and we continue to again trend to the top end of our guidance range even with those costs to be incurred this year,” he said.

JOE CONCHA: ‘The Greatest Comeback Ever.’ How Trump won the White House all over again

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. 

I watched Donald Trump swat at his ear as if being swung by a bee. And then he fell to the ground. 

I was about to appear on ‘The Big Weekend Show’ that hot Saturday afternoon on July 13, 2024, and was watching all of this unfold from the Studio M Green Room at Fox News headquarters in New York. 

After what was about a minute, in what felt like hours, I watched as Trump rose to his feet. At that moment, almost anyone, including myself, would have kept their head down and let the Secret Service rush them to the closest vehicle to get the hell out of there. 

Trump did the opposite. 

‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ he declared defiantly with blood on his face, the result of being struck in the ear by a bullet. 

‘I think he just won the election,’ I said to no one in particular in the Green Room. 

Two days later, Trump would choose Ohio Senator JD Vance to be his running mate. Three days after that, he accepted his party’s nomination for the third time. And three days after that, Joe Biden — at the urging of his own party and George Clooney — would bow out of the race. 

Kamala Harris, the most unpopular vice president in polling history and a failed 2020 presidential candidate who didn’t even get to 2020 before dropping out, became the nominee instead despite not receiving one vote from the public. 

From there, Harris rode a wave of slobbering press through August. At one point, according to the Media Research Center, ABC News did 100 straight ‘news’ stories on her campaign where every single one was positive. 

The network also hosted the one and only debate between Trump and Harris, which ended up being a textbook example of overwhelming bias and dishonesty. ABC’s news division is run by Dana Walden, who is not only best friends with Harris, she even set the former vice president up with her current husband, Doug Emhoff. 

Overall, Trump got fact-checked five times by moderators during his single presidential debate with Harris and was on the receiving end of six follow-up questions. Harris was not fact-checked or followed up with once. The legacy media declared Harris the big winner, while I argued on the air that it was incumbent on her to make the sale on her policies, especially the economy. She failed miserably. Her poll numbers would only drift downward from there. 

Democratic pollster says Trump-Harris debate will

But it was the vice-presidential debate that ended up playing a huge role in the election. Harris could have chosen popular as her vice presidential running mate, Gov. Josh Shapiro from the crucial state of Pennsylvania. Instead, Harris went with goofy Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic leader who was best known for allowing Minneapolis to burn to the ground during the George Floyd riots and the guy also known for having tampon machines installed in boys’ bathrooms. 

JD Vance wiped the floor with Walz that night, who literally looked like a deer in the headlines throughout the debate. It was Trump and Vance who appeared to be normal, all while Harris and Walz looked and sounded, well… weird. 

Trump also ran an unorthodox campaign by sitting down with podcasters like Joe Rogan for three hours while Harris was running to Oprah Winfrey, who was last relevant when Bill Clinton was in office. Trump would also work a shift at McDonald’s, which was ridiculed by legacy media but was a stroke of genius, because it’s hard to imagine Hitler donning an apron and working a McDonald’s drive-thru. And the photo you see on the cover of my new book this image went viral to non-propensity voters in a way any Harris event couldn’t. 

Trump would go on to win every swing state, with 89% of counties in the U.S. going more red than blue. He also won the popular vote. Republicans took back the Senate and held the House. The greatest comeback ever was complete. 

In the end, Harris’ campaign blew through $1.5 billion in cash in the span of under 100 days and had nothing to show for it. Democrats were (and still are) rudderless and devastated. 

‘Why will people buy your book if they know how it ends?’ my 9-year-old asked me recently. It was a good question. And this is what I told her: 

‘We also know how ‘Titanic’ ends, yet it made more than $1 billion at the box office in the 90s. Everybody went to go see it because, in my case, I wanted to know the story behind the hows and the whys.’ 

The same thing applies here. In my new book, those ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ include: 

– How did Trump overcome 91 felony charges — rogue *judges* and the weaponization of the justice system by the likes of Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James and Atlanta D.A. Fani Willis and Special Counsel Jack Smith?

– How did the Secret Service and local law-enforcement allow a 20-year-old kid to completely outflank them and get on the one roof with the most perfect line of sight to Trump on that July day in Butler, Pennsylvania?

– How did the Secret Service still allow Trump to go out on stage when they knew there was an active threat?

– How was no one fired by the Biden administration after trump was almost killed?

– How was a second would-be assassin —- Ryan Ruth, able to sit for more than 12 hours in a sniper’s nest near the sixth hole at Trump International Golf Course in Florida?

– Why didn’t anyone in the Secret Service check the perimeter?

– Why did Harris decide not to join Joe Rogan on his insanely popular podcast — while Trump did for nearly 4 hours?

– Why didn’t Harris attend the Al Smith dinner… When the Roman Catholic vote is so critical and the election was considered so tight?

– Why did she choose Tim Walz as her running mate? 

We explore all of these questions in ‘The Greatest Comeback Ever.’ And we have lots of fun in the process. I hope you enjoy the book!

Trump Cabinet official vows major food stamp reforms that will help hungry children

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said her department has a ‘massive plan’ for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program reforms, as the Trump administration continues to make spending cuts throughout the federal government.

The USDA recently announced that they will be pushing for additional safeguards to ensure illegal immigrants are not illegally getting on food stamps, Fox News Digital reported, but there are other changes expected to be made.

‘The Biden administration increased that program through some discretionary spending by almost 40%,’ Rollins told Fox News Digital in an interview on Friday.

Spending on the food stamps program soared from $63 billion in 2019 and to $123 billion as of 2023, which is still high despite pandemic-related changes, according to the Cato Institute.

‘You’ll be seeing a big announcement in the coming weeks on this. Another step, another five steps, another 10 steps toward more accountability, toward more intentionality, and toward a much more efficient and effective government program,’ she continued.

The Republican Cabinet secretary quelled fears about whether cutting spending will impact Americans who rely on SNAP to put food on the table, saying that the reforms will help put a renewed emphasis on the mission of the social service.

‘This administration will not let any child go hungry. So as we make these reforms and as we cancel future contracts that we don’t believe were within the original intent or mission of the program, or the USDA, or the government, you’re going to hear the Democrats and the left basically start, you know, yelping about how we hate children and old people and we’re stealing the food out of their mouths. That could not be further from the truth,’ Rollins said.

She also anticipates that certain health-based reforms will be made for the program administered by state governments. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. backs not allowing soda to be bought with food stamps, according to Scripps News, and Rollins has also backed efforts by states like Arkansas to limit the purchase of candy and soda with SNAP.

‘What we are doing is ensuring those hungry people actually get the food that they need. And of course, the layer on that is the [Make America Healthy Again] movement, hopefully more nutritious food than we’ve been able to serve before,’ the secretary added.

I’m so proud of President Trump and his just resolute conviction in working to make America great again and across every single government agency, and I think this food stamp piece is a really big part of it,’ she added.

Over 42 million Americans use SNAP benefits monthly as of 2023, according to USDA’s Economic Research Service data.

Hegseth says he’s undoing ‘social justice/Biden initiative’ that Trump signed into law

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that he had ‘proudly ended’ the Women, Peace and Security program at the Pentagon on Tuesday, a program signed into law by President Donald Trump in his first term. 

‘WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops – distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING,’ Hegseth wrote in a post on X. 

‘WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it.’

Hegseth said the department would comply with the minimum requirements of the program dictated by law and lobby to fully end it in the next budget. ‘GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!’ he added.

But the message raised eyebrows as much of the rest of Trump’s administration has supported the WPS programs. 

Trump signed the WPS Act into law in 2017 and released a WPS strategy in 2019.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem penned the 2017 Women, Peace and Security Act as a House member from South Dakota alongside Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). Secretary of State Marco Rubio co-sponsored the legislation when he was in the Senate, and national security advisor Mike Waltz was a founding member of the WPS congressional caucus when he was in the House.

 ‘The WPS Strategy recognizes the diverse roles women play as agents of change in preventing and resolving conflict, countering terrorism and violent extremism, and building post conflict peace and stability,’ the strategy read. 

Hegseth later clarified that he meant the Biden administration had ‘ruined’ WPS. 

‘The woke & weak Biden Administration distorted & weaponized the straight-forward & security-focused WPS initiative launched in 2017. So—yes—we are ending the ‘woke divisive/social justice/Biden (WPS) initiative,’ he added in a follow-up post on X. ‘Biden ruined EVERYTHING, including ‘Women, Peace & Security.”

The White House could not be reached for comment on whether it still supported the program. 

‘The WPS Strategy seeks to increase women’s meaningful leadership in political and civic life by helping to ensure they are empowered to lead and contribute, equipped with the necessary skills and support to succeed, and supported to participate through access to opportunities and resources,’ the Trump-era strategy read.

It guided WPS plans at the Defense, State and Homeland Security departments as well as USAID. 

‘Around the world, conflict and disasters adversely and disproportionately affect women and girls, yet women remain under-represented in efforts to prevent and resolve conflict, and in post-conflict peacebuilding or recovery efforts. Research has shown that peace negotiations are more likely to succeed, and result in lasting stability, when women participate,’ the document went on. 

Trump promoted the program on his ‘Women for Trump’ accomplishments page of his campaign website. 

The Women, Peace and Security Act originated with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2000, and the U.S. became the first country to adopt a whole-of-government approach to undertaking the WPS agenda in 2019.

Rubio touted the legislation as recently as this month.

‘President Trump also signed the Women, Peace, and Security Act, a bill that I was very proud to have been a co-sponsor of when I was in the Senate, and it was the first comprehensive law passed in any country in the world – the first law passed by any country anywhere in the world — focused on protecting women and promoting their participation in society,’ he said at a Women of Courage awards ceremony on April 1.

Dem governor blasts Trump, Musk in new attack campaign as 2028 buzz grows

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s political arm launched a new video series, ‘The Real Cost of Trump’s Cuts,’ on President Donald Trump’s 100th day in office amid speculation the Democrat is considering a 2028 presidential bid. 

‘Donald Trump and Elon Musk are ruining people’s lives to fund the largest tax break in history for the wealthiest Americans,’ JB for Governor Senior Political Advisor Mike Ollen said in a statement released Tuesday. 

‘Illinoisans across the state are paying the price for Trump and Musk’s’ cruelty, and their stories deserve to be heard.’

The campaign said the videos will highlight Illinoisans affected by Trump and Elon Musk’s drastic cuts to the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). 

‘In just 100 days, workers have lost their jobs, seniors have struggled to get food or access their Social Security payments and families have had their childcare jeopardized. As Trump and Musk gut services that working people rely on to give the wealthy a tax break, the new series aims to tell the stories of their destruction and damage,’ a press release says. 

The first video in the series highlights ‘Moses,’ whom the Pritzker campaign said lost his national security job due to DOGE’s cuts to the federal workforce and is ‘now unemployed and left without insurance as he tries to take care of his ailing mother.’

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Israel releases Palestinian medic who was detained during IDF attack on emergency convoy

A Palestinian medic who was detained during a deadly Israeli military attack on an emergency convoy last month was released on Tuesday, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

Assad Al-Nsasrah went missing after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) attacked a convoy of emergency vehicles in Gaza on March 23. He was part of a crew who were trying to find a missing PRCS ambulance in Rafah, southern Gaza, which was later discovered to also have been targeted by the IDF.

The IDF attacks killed 15 people in three separate shootings, including 8 PRCS medics and a United Nations worker from Bulgaria. Their vehicles were clearly marked with the PRCS insignia. The IDF buried the bodies of those killed in a mass grave, along with the vehicles they had been traveling in.

It took the PRCS three weeks to learn that Al-Nsasrah had been detained by the IDF. Prior to this, his fate had been unknown since the attack.

On Tuesday, the PRCS posted a video to X of the medic reuniting with his colleagues, wiping away tears as he hugged them one by one.

“Today, the Israeli occupation forces released our colleague Asaad (Al-Nsasrah), a survivor of the massacre targeting medical teams in Rafah,” the PRCS wrote in a separate X post.

“He had been detained for 37 days and arrived in poor health at Al-Amal Hospital, affiliated with the association in Khan Younis, where he underwent the necessary medical examinations,” the humanitarian organization continued.

Though the Israeli military had initially claimed without evidence that some of the vehicles it targeted were moving suspiciously, and that some of those killed were Hamas members, it later said “professional failures” led to the killings.

According to the IDF, troops opened fire on what they believed to be a “tangible threat” amid what the military called an “operational misunderstanding.”

Videos showed that the convoy of marked ambulances were driving with headlights and flashing emergency lights on. Aid agencies also denied that any Hamas militants were among those killed.

Ramp Metals Provides Drilling Update and Confirms Copper-Zinc Mineralization at Rush Target

Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) (‘Ramp Metals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has intersected semi-massive and massive sulphides with chalcopyrite and sphalerite mineralization at the Rush target.

The Rush target is a NE-SW trending conductive anomaly over 1100m in length. Rock samples from the October 2024 field program returned values of up to 1.61% copper, 0.79 g/t gold, and up to 113 g/t silver across different samples. In addition, soil geochemistry samples taken above the anomaly returned values up to 798.5ppm copper and 21,152ppb silver(21.15 g/t). More details can be found in the Press Release dated January 20th.

Drilling to date has intersected semi massive and massive sulphide mineralization in all 3 drill holes at Rush. The presence of sphalerite and chalcopyrite has been confirmed with a Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus handheld XRF analyzer.

Rush-001 was drilled to 177m and intersected disseminated sulphide and stringer mineralization from approximately 12.5m – 30m in depth. Semi-massive sulphides were intersected from approximately 31.5m – 33.25m. Massive sulphides were intersected over 3.2m from 61.50-64.69m (Figure 1).

Ranger

The Company has completed seven holes at its Ranger target on the Rottenstone SW property.

Of the seven holes completed at Ranger, six were drilled in the vicinity of the Ranger-001 discovery hole which returned values of 73.55 g/t over 7.5m, as seen in the June 17, 2024 News Release. Quartz diorite was intersected in all six holes over significant widths. Mafic dykes cross-cut the quartz diorite intrusion. Potassic and hematite alteration was noted along with carbonate stringers (Figures 5 and 6).

The final hole drilled at Ranger, Ranger-008, tested one of the new eastern EM anomalies described in the April 14th news release.

QA/QC

Uncut whole NQ drill core was analyzed by a Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus handheld XRF, operated by Ramp Metals staff on site. The Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (‘pXRF’) data is exploratory in nature and is used predominantly as an internal workflow to assist in target prioritization and mineral identification through an early phase of exploration investigation. pXRF data is not provided as it is not an indicator of representative geochemistry of the entire rock mass and therefore should only be viewed as an initial screening prior to laboratory assays.

Drill core is currently being logged, sampled and cut by diamond saw. Samples will be shipped as they are processed for laboratory analysis at Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd.(‘BV’), an internationally recognized and ISO 17025:2017 accredited analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. The first batch of samples is anticipated to be shipped to within the next week.

Drill core samples are marked in maximum intervals of up to 1.5m and cut in half using a diamond saw with half sent for assay and the other half saved for reference. Samples are then bagged and zip-tied, with 15 bagged samples placed into sealed rice bags and then 20 rice bags placed in mega bags for transport to BV. Sample QA/QC procedures were applied by inserting a regular and systematic schedule of standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream. Control samples consisting of certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company’s QA/QC protocol at a rate of 1:15 or better in addition to BV’s internal quality assurance programs.

Rock samples will be prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples are weighed, dried, and crushed to greater than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples will be analyzed in accordance with BV’s MA300 and FA330 packages, for both multi-element ICP analysis (0.25 g, multi-acid and ICP-ES analysis) and gold analysis by fire assay (30g fire assay with AAS finish). Gold returning >10ppm is automatically analyzed by gravimetric method in accordance with BV’s standard of practice.

Gorsuch scolds Supreme Court litigator in rare, heated exchange

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch scolded an experienced lawyer during oral arguments Monday in a case centered on disability discrimination in public schools – a rare and heated exchange that surprised many longtime court-watchers.

The tense exchange took place during oral arguments in A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools, a case centered on whether school districts can be held liable for discriminating against students with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 

Gorsuch scolded Williams & Connolly lawyer Lisa Blatt, an experienced Supreme Court litigator representing the Minnesota public schools, for accusing the plaintiffs of ‘lying’ in their assertions before the high court.

Plaintiffs in the case are representing the parents of a girl with severe epilepsy, who sued the public school for refusing to provide at-home school during the morning, an accommodation she would receive in other districts in the state.

The exchange between Gorsuch and Blatt took place after she accused them of lying about the public school’s stance.

Counsel ‘should be more careful with their words,’ Gorsuch told Blatt in a warning.

‘OK well, they should be more careful in mischaracterizing a position by an experienced advocate of the Supreme Court, with all due respect,’ Blatt responded.

Later, he referenced the lying accusation again. ‘Ms. Blatt,’ Gorsuch told her, ‘I confess I’m still troubled by your suggestion that your friends on the other side have lied.’

‘OK,’ she fired back. ‘Let’s pull it up. In oral arguments…’

Gorsuch cut in, telling her, ‘I think we’re going to have to, here. And I’d ask you to reconsider that phrase.’

‘You can accuse people of being incorrect, but lying–’ Gorsuch said, before Blatt attempted to interject.

‘Ms. Blatt, if I might finish,’ Gorsuch said, before continuing: ‘But lying is another matter.’

He then started to read through page one of their brief, before she interrupted again.

‘I’m not finished,’ Gorsuch told her, raising his voice.

‘Withdraw your accusation, Ms. Blatt,’ he then told her of the lying accusation.

‘Fine, I withdraw,’ she shot back.

Plaintiffs said on rebuttal only that they would not dignify the name-calling.

The exchange sparked some buzz online, including from an experienced appeals court litigator, Raffi Melkonian, who noted of the exchange on social media, ‘I’ve never heard Justice Gorsuch so angry.’
