The image has been previously misused and debunked by other fact-checking sites. While there was a recent power issue in Washington, the White House was not affected and it is normal for lights at the White House to be turned off at 11 p.m. While some on social media claimed that the lights at White House went out along with the Washington Monument, the White House was not affected by the outage, according to Litterst.

"I had zero intention of trying to be vulgar or be profane in any way. I was simply living my joy and my truth and existing in my body." The user captioned the post, "Very strange." One user commented, "10 days of darkness." President Joe Biden took the oath office on Jan. 20 and has pledged that his first 100 days days in office will include tackling the coronavirus pandemic, reversing immigration policies and addressing criminal justice reform. Rose Montoya, 27, met the US president and First Lady Jill Biden at the largest Pride celebration in White House history on Saturday. However, looking at Montoya's TikTok video post shows that replies and comments there are largely supportive and positive. Then Montoya shows herself meeting and chatting with both President Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has refused to endorse Trump’s reelection bid. Biden began his roast with a direct focus on Trump, calling him “sleepy Don,” in reference to a nickname Trump had given the president previously. He went on to note that despite being similar in age, the two presidential hopefuls have little else in common. Chants accused U.S. journalists of undercovering the war and misrepresenting it.

Negotiations at Columbia University unstable, organizers say

The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner on Saturday night provided the ideal platform for Biden to continue a recent run of taking the fight to Trump with more aggressive rhetoric, cutting humour and personal insults. Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. Trump’s campaign isn’t premised on winning a majority, something a Republican has managed only once in the past eight presidential elections, (George W. Bush in 2004). Democrats have also zeroed in on Kennedy’s equivocal statements on abortion, including one in August in which he said he would sign a national ban on abortions after 15 weeks. They skew young, but also tend to be less focused on politics and less likely to vote at all, polls show.

” another voice is heard off camera later in the video, as Ms. Montoya holds her breasts and shakes them up and down. A transgender man stands fully topless next to her, showing off his “top surgery” scars. The White House condemned Montoya's actions in a public statement, however, saying Montoya and others seen stripping in the video would not be invited back to the premises. The original video, posted to TikTok, shows Montoya and another unnamed transgender activist, a biological female, baring their breasts on the South Lawn with the White House in view behind them. While Montoya is correct that Washington, D.C., laws allow people to be topless, the White House is federal land where local D.C. Trans activist Rose Montoya doubled down Monday on her decision to go topless at President Biden's Pride Month event at the White House.

"My trans masculine friends were showing off their top surgery scars and living in joy, and I wanted to join them. And because it is perfectly within the law of Washington, D.C., I decided to join them and cover my nipples just to play it safe. Montoya, who uses she/they pronouns, has not publicly commented on the White House’s decision to ban her from future events, but defended herself on social media from the growing backlash Monday. The White House called the incident “inappropriate and disrespectful” and said it’s “not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI+ families” or other guests.

A newly released study by the Pew Research Center finds that 91% of people who voted for Biden last time and 94% of those who voted for Trump plan to vote for the same person this year. Registered voters who did not cast a ballot in 2020 are almost evenly divided, Pew found. Both companies have been crushed financially, with plummeting sales following a staggering 15,000 social media calls for Pride-collection boycotts — nearly 40 times higher than a year ago, when there were just 400, The Guardian noted.

White House lights turn off at 11 p.m.

Mr. Polumbo says actions like this and overly sexual displays at Pride parades are hurting the cause for gay rights and mainstream LGBTQ acceptance. “It’s frustrating for me as a gay person, because most of the LGBT community are just normal people, but historically we’ve been hyper sexualized or reduced to our sexuality in a bigoted way,” he says. The montage of moments also shows an interaction with President Biden. The influencer smiles next to the president, saying, "It's an honor, Mr. President. Trans rights are human rights." An image of the White House with the lights off used to claim that President Joe Biden isn't in office has been ALTERED, based on our research.

Gaza only got one mention at an annual gathering of hundreds of reporters, after the deadliest year for journalists in a decade. While Biden cracked jokes at the White House correspondents’ dinner, pro-Palestinian protesters made sure it was a different story outside. Attorneys have already threatened to file multiple lawsuits against the LAPD over its response to the second protest outside the spa. A Gallup poll released Monday finds that 69 percent of Americans think transgender athletes should compete only against persons of their natal sex, not their gender identity — up 7 points from just two years ago. That same poll finds that 55 percent of Americans say it’s “morally wrong” to change one’s gender, up 4 points from 2021.

One organizer complained that the White House Correspondents’ Association — which represents the hundreds of journalists who cover the president — largely has been silent since the first weeks of the war about the killings of Palestinian journalists. More than two dozen journalists in Gaza wrote a letter last week calling on their colleagues in Washington to boycott the dinner altogether. Biden’s speech before nearly 3,000 people was being followed by entertainer Colin Jost from “Saturday Night Live.” Academy Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Scarlett Johansson, Jon Hamm and Chris Pines were among other stars. Criticism of the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s six-month-old military offensive in Gaza has spread through American college campuses, with students pitching encampments in an effort to force their universities to divest from Israel.

A White House spokesman later said that Ms Montoya had been “inappropriate and disrespectful” and would not be invited to future events. In a short video shared to her Instagram page, Ms Montoya can be seen shaking Mr Biden’s hand and telling him “trans rights are human rights”. Rose Montoya, a transgender woman, shared a video she filmed from Saturday's event with her TikTok followers. “This behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House,” a White House spokesperson told The Post. Montoya shared the racy footage Monday to Instagram along with a spliced-together video of the event, where the president and first lady Jill Biden delivered speeches to the hundreds of invitees in attendance.

That has included a public endorsement of Biden earlier this month by 15 members of the Kennedy family. It’s impossible to know how many of Stein’s voters might have voted for Hillary Clinton, but the claim that she cost Clinton the election is at least plausible. The wide variation underscores the problem pollsters face in measuring Kennedy voters. His backers come from both the left and the right and disagree widely on many issues. Disaffected people are inherently hard to poll — they tend not to readily respond to surveys — and hard to predict in terms of turnout.

A transgender model who flashed her breasts at the White House has been branded “disrespectful” by the Joe Biden administration. Montoya, a transgender woman, is holding her breasts in that part of the video, but another person who is apparently a transgender man is showing off his mastectomy scars while flexing. She shared the clips with her social media followers and later slapped back at critics by claiming she did not violate any Washington, DC, laws. The polyamorous model and trans rights advocate, who grew up in rural Idaho, did not immediately respond to an interview request. “This behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House,” the flack said.

Though the woman could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday, she posted a lengthy video on her Instagram account on Aug. 17 addressing “haters” who accused her of faking the video. After the video alleging someone exposed themselves went viral, the spa became the target of right-wing demonstrations, which many chided as transphobic after extremist groups such as the Proud Boys glommed onto the events. The recording, which surfaced in late June, showed an irate customer arguing with employees after she said she had seen a customer with a penis in an area that is reserved for women. The Wilshire Boulevard facility has some gender-separated areas with changing rooms and Jacuzzis.

At one point during the demonstrations, tensions escalated as protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, a university official said. "The university is a private campus and the group had been violating some of their orders. It was a trespass at that point and we assisted with the arrests," Los Angeles Police Captain Kelly Muniz said during a briefing. The Los Angeles Police Department said 93 people were arrested on suspicion of trespassing during Wednesday's demonstrations at the University of Southern California.
