Trump just made his inaugural exit from the $400 million Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One.
After taxpayers spend hundreds of millions upgrading the plane, Trump gets to keep it after leaving office.
This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.
In 1965, a 17-year-old girl in Sicily was kidnapped, assaulted, and held captive for over a week.
Then her attacker offered her a deal:
Marry him, and everything would be “forgiven.”
At the time, Italian law allowed rapists to avoid punishment if they married their victims.
It was called “reparatory marriage.”
The logic was horrifying:
A woman’s “honor” mattered more than her consent.
If she married the man who violated her, her reputation could supposedly be restored — and the rapist could walk free.
Most women had no real choice.
Families pressured them.
Communities expected obedience.
The law itself encouraged silence.
But Franca Viola said no.
At 17 years old, traumatized and publicly shamed, she refused to marry the man who assaulted her.
That single word changed Italy forever.
Her decision sparked outrage in her town.
Neighbors turned against her family.
Their vineyards and olive groves were burned in retaliation.
But Franca’s father stood beside her and supported her decision to press charges.
In 1966, Franca testified publicly against her attacker in court.
At a time when most victims were expected to stay silent forever, she spoke openly in front of the entire country.
Italy watched in shock.
Her attacker, Filippo Melodia, was convicted and sentenced to prison.
For the first time in Italian history, a woman had publicly rejected “reparatory marriage” and won.
The case became international news.
But the law itself still remained.
For another 15 years, rapists in Italy could technically still escape punishment by marrying their victims.
Then finally, in 1981, Italy abolished the law completely.
And many activists pointed to Franca Viola as the moment the country first began confronting the cruelty of that system.
Years later, Franca married a childhood friend who had stood beside her through everything.
Not because she needed her “honor restored.”
But because she deserved love, dignity, and a life defined by her own choices.
That’s why her story still matters.
Franca Viola wasn’t just resisting one man.
She was resisting an entire culture that treated women’s suffering as something to hide rather than something to fight.
At 17 years old, she stood against her attacker, her community, and even the law itself.
And eventually, the law changed.
Sometimes history moves because powerful people decide to act.
And sometimes history moves because one terrified teenager quietly refuses to surrender.
BREAKING. All hell breaks loose between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni. 🇮🇹 🇺🇸
Trump told La7 tv that apparently “Meloni begged to have a picture with me at the G7, I felt sorry for her”.
Meloni’s scathing response: “I am shocked by Trump’s utterly fabricated words. I am sorry he doesn’t show the same determination against the enemies of the West. And bear in mind: me and Italy never beg”.
What a time to be alive.
It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.
