You can’t make this up. In a bizarre twist of 2025’s never-ending woke drama, a Seattle woman has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Navy’s iconic Blue Angels flight team—not for crashing a plane, not for violating airspace, but for hurting her cat’s feelings.

Yes, really.

Lauren Ann Lombardi, an activist with way too much time on her hands, claims the roar of F-18 Super Hornet jets performing in her city amounted to “state-sanctioned acoustic torture” for her elderly cat Layla, who was later euthanized. She’s now demanding that the Navy unblock her from Instagram, pay her legal fees, and subject their personnel to what she calls “First Amendment training.”

Apparently, the world’s greatest military aviators should stop performing and defending freedom until they learn how not to hurt a progressive woman’s cat’s *emotional support system*.

In her lawsuit, Lombardi melodramatically declared, *“These thin-skinned bureaucrats blocked Lombardi from commenting any further, thereby muzzling an American citizen while simultaneously blinding the broader public from witnessing legitimate grievances against their government.”*

But let’s be clear: she wasn’t simply airing a calm, reasoned concern. Her initial Instagram comments were laced with profanity, reading:

“Stop with your F—— b——- you are terrorizing my cat and all the other animals and wildlife.”

After being blocked (which any private or government-run social media account has the right to do), she doubled down with:

“F— off. Nobody gives a f— about your stupid little planes. Cowards.”

The woman then blamed the jets for allegedly worsening her cat’s heart condition, claiming Layla’s “walnut-sized brain” was overwhelmed by the sound and her final days were spent “cowering in terror beneath furniture.” The lawsuit reads like a bad parody from The Onion:

“Layla died knowing only fear when she should have known only love.”

This would be laughable if it weren’t so sadly reflective of the entitled, anti-American mindset infecting today’s coastal progressive circles.

For context, the Blue Angels are a treasured symbol of American excellence — a testament to military precision, skill, and sacrifice. Their air shows draw millions of patriotic Americans every year, and their thunderous flyovers are a source of national pride.

When President Trump called on the Blue Angels in 2020 to fly over U.S. cities as a morale boost during the pandemic, it wasn’t to terrorize cats. It was to honor frontline heroes and remind Americans of the greatness we share. As Trump said at the time:

“What we are doing is paying tribute to our front-line health care workers confronting COVID, and it’s really a signal to all Americans to remain vigilant during the outbreak.”

Now, progressive activists want to turn this beloved institution into a villain. Lombardi even had the audacity to say she “respects and supports the U.S. military”—just not when it makes noise or flies jets.

Let’s call this what it is: another frivolous, self-absorbed lawsuit from someone who can’t tell the difference between **a national defense asset** and **an Instagram comment section**. If she gets her way, the next thing you know, liberals will be suing the Army for hurting their houseplants.

Here’s hoping the courts dismiss this nonsense as quickly as one of those F-18s disappears into the sky.
