Quick Glance: White House Easter Egg Roll Draws Huge Crowd Following Storm Delayed Start
- The start of the Easter egg roll at the White House was delayed by 90 minutes due to thunder and lightning, before the event kicked off under gray skies with a large crowd, including many children wearing ponchos or colorful jackets against light rain.
- More than 40,000 people, 10,000 more than the previous year, were expected to participate in guiding hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year's theme of 'EGG-ucation' was led by Jill Biden, a teacher for over 30 years.
- President Joe Biden emphasized that Easter serves as a reminder of the power of hope, renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection, primarily focusing on love and grace towards others. He also highlighted the significance of values and blessings that Americans hold.
- Guests at the egg roll included thousands of military and veteran families, alongside their caregivers and survivors. Tickets for attendance were allocated to the general public through an online lottery, with entry granted in nine waves spanning until the evening.

- Nearly 13 years after releasing the first No. 1-charting song in history to feature the word 'transgender' in its lyrics, Lady Gaga has taken a firm stance against transphobic hatred after receiving intense criticism from conservative individuals for posing for a photo with trans celebrity Dylan Mulvaney.
- Gaga emphasized that there is still 'immense work' to be done to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us, and that she feels 'very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence.
- The upcoming Joker: Folie á Deux actress acknowledged that she doesn't speak for the trans community, but expressed hope that 'all women will come together to honor us ALL for International Women’s Day,' and to eventually see a day 'that all women are celebrated equally' in culture.
- Though many praised the photo of Gaga and Mulvaney, some took issue with its existence, with one user calling it a 'disgrace' that the image had become synonymous with a celebration of International Women's Day.
