Famous Italian news presenter Costanza Calabrese experienced an embarrassing moment live on TV when she accidentally revealed too much, obviously forgetting she was sitting at a glass desk.

The video of her, which has since gone viral, was taken in 2016. Positioned behind a transparent desk on Italian TV channel TG 5, Calabrese had her “basic instinct” moment.

The broadcast started with a close-up of her face and shoulders, but the camera then panned out, showing her sitting with her legs apart.

YouTube

The 38-year-old news presenter wasn’t aware of the incident, but the viewers were quick to spot it.

The clip that someone shared on YouTube has attracted over 6 million views.

“Poor woman! Surely her producers should have let her know something was up!” someone commented under the video of Calabrese.

“How was her dress so high in the first place?” another questioned.

“When in journalism class they teach you that you have to be transparent and not hide anything. Number one,” a third added.

Another person commented: “Thank you, Costanza. That’s beautiful.”

Message from a delivery driver on a pizza box changed my life forever

My one-bedroom apartment was all I needed. I was in a beautiful relationship and about to tie the knot, so that tiny place became our little sanctuary, cozy and warm, a place where my new life was about to start, or so I thought so, until I received a strange message written on a pizza box.

When Ryan and I moved to the apartment that I got to love so much, we often ordered pizza from the pizzeria just around the corner. It was always the same, a double pepperoni with extra cheese.

That Saturday evening, as I was going through the wedding guest list, I decided to treat myself with some pizza. Ryan was on a business trip, and didn’t feel like cooking.

Making that order changed my life forever.

Around half an hour later, the delivery guy that always delivered our pizza, greeted me. He had his cap on, as usual, but his demeanor was strange.

Before he handed me the pizza box, he asked me if I my fiancé was not home. The question felt rather odd, but I still answered it. “Ryan’s away on a business trip,” I said and smiled. The delivery guy, Anthony, gave me the pizza box and left.

When I opened it, I noticed a message written on the pizza box. It read: “HE IS NOT WHO YOU THINK HE IS. CHECK YOUR DOOR CAMERA.”

My heart dropped. “Is this a joke?” I thought to myself.

I closed the pizza box as I lost my appetite and rushed to check the footage from the security camera.

At first, there was nothing out of the ordinary, but then, I saw it. While I was at work, a woman, tall and elegant, came to our apartment. She was bringing a bottle of wine and Ryan opened the door and welcomed her inside.

They hugged before she entered.

I had never seen that woman before. Was he cheating on me?

I couldn’t wait to confront him, scared that he was indeed having an affair.

A day later, he returned from the trip. “Hey, babe, did you miss me?” he said and leaned to give me a kiss. But I didn’t let him. Instead, I showed him the footage from the security camera.

“What’s this Ryan?” I asked, trying to hold my tears from rolling down my face.

He looked at me and said, “Don’t be dramatic, I just felt overwhelmed, that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.”

“Wow,” I thought to myself. “You didn’t even deny it?”

I knew I couldn’t stay there any longer. My heart ached and my world collapsed, but at least I learnt what kind of man Ryan was before I married him.

Pexels

A few days later, I stopped by at the pizza place. I saw Anthony there and thanked him for that message on the pizza box. He said that he had second thoughts about sharing Ryan’s secret with me, but simply couldn’t let me marry someone who wasn’t worth of me.

Eventually, I moved on. The only thing I sometimes miss from my old life is the tiny apartment.

Donald Trump has signed a new executive order that could potentially position him as one of the most powerful presidents in history

By
Monica Pop
-

With the latest executive order he signed, Donald Trump expended his presidential power but also triggered certain legal challenges.

Namely, the order will bring notoriously independent agencies under the White House’s control. This is part of Trump’s attempt to consolidate power and means that all agencies – such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – will be asked to submit their proposals and draft regulations for the president to review.

So far, no president has ever challenged the work of these agencies since their primary goal is in fact to act independently or semi-independently from the president, the Independent states.

Those in the position of leading these agencies are often assigned long term – longer than the presidency – in order to be protected from political influence.

As per the Independent, the signing of this order will give Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, the right to “adjust” congressional-appropriated funding depending on if the independent agency’s objectives are in line with Trump’s.

While the order doesn’t apply to the Federal Reserve’s handling of monetary policy, it does affect its other responsibilities, such as supervising banks and other financial organizations.

“For the Federal Government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected President,” the executive order states.

“The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.”

According to Trump, FTC, SEC, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have spent billions of dollars on rules and regulations. However, they will “no longer impose rules on the American people without oversight or accountability.”

“Executive power without responsibility has no place in our Republic. The United States was founded on the principle that the government should be accountable to the people,” the order states.

“That is why the Founders created a single President who is alone vested with ‘the executive Power’ and responsibility to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’.”

My husband refused to buy a new washing machine and made me hand-wash everything, paying for his mom’s vacation instead

By

Becoming a mom changed my world in ways unimaginable. I enjoyed every second of it, but the little to no help I got from my husband made things hard. On top of that, when our washing machine broke, my husband’s answer to my demand to get a new one or at least fix that one left me shocked. Honestly, it was a moment that made me question my marriage.

Giving birth was a blessing, but juggling responsibilities became a burden for me because I felt like I was on my own. My husband, who was working, didn’t help around the house. My days were filled with chores and a piles of laundry.

For things to be even worse, the washing machine broke one day.

“Trevor, the washing machine is dead,” I remember telling my husband. “We need to get a new one, or at least fix that one. The piles of baby clothes are all piles up in the basket.”

Trevor looked at me and said as nonchalantly as possible. “Maybe next month, babe, I promised my mom to treat her a vacation with this paycheck.”

Hearing his words made my world spinned. “Treating your mom a vacation? Why?” I asked, still confused and shocked.

“Well, she babysits sometimes, so I guess she deserves it,” Trevor said.

“Babysits!?” I asked, “All she does when she comes here every once in a while is sit on the couch and eat our food. That’s not babysitting.”

But Trevor was determined to spend the money, which we were short on, on his mom.

“Washing the clothes by hand for some time won’t kill you,” he said to me. “People have done it for centuries.”

I didn’t say anything. What could I?

Instead, I did what Trevor told me to because I didn’t want to argue with him. The following day, I did all the laundry by hand and couldn’t stop scratching my hands because of all the soap and the detergents. So, I decided to teach Trevor a lesson.

A couple of weeks later, instead of his lunch, I placed some stones in his lunch box and wrote a note. If he wanted my life to resemble that of the wives of the 19th century, then I thought his should have as well.

The note read: “Men once earned their daily bread with their own hands. Go forge your meal, spark a fire with these stones, and cook it over a flame.”

Well, Trevor’s reaction was just like I have imagined it would be.

When he returned home, he started yelling. “What the hell, Marina. I got so embarrassed in front of my co-workers. Are you insane?”

“What’s wrong, honey?” I asked. “So public humiliation is off-limits when it’s you, but when I’m stuck washing every single piece of laundry by hand, that’s fine with you?

“And if you put your mom’s needs before mine ever again, you better learn how to light a fire with those stones.”

It was obvious Trevor was still mad, but deep down he knew I was right.

The following day, I got my new washing machine and Trevor learned his lesson.

The day a mysterious message changed my world

By
Monica Pop
-

When my wife Natalie and I left the doctor’s office, I knew our world would change for the best. We were going to become parents. It was the news that we’ve both waited for so long, and now, our wish was finally turning into a reality.

“Honey, this is the best day ever,” I screamed with joy.

I knew nothing could ruin my happiness, but I was so wrong.

The moment we stepped foot out of the doctor’s office, I noticed a strange writing on my car. The words “Hope She Was Worth It” were written all over the left side of it.

“What the hell?” I muttered, heart pounding.

I turned to Natalie, she was as confused as I was. “What could this be? Did someone mess up with the wrong car?” I thought to myself.

Natalie then tied to defend herself, assuring me that she had nothing to do with that message, and that she wasn’t the one who wrote it.

We got inside the car and headed home, but the thought of that message hunted me.

That evening, Natalie spent the night at her parents. I tried to rest and sleep for a while, but I couldn’t. Instead, I got outside and started rubbing the paint the message was written with off the car.

Then, I heard footsteps approaching, and a familiar voice said, “Don’t bother thanking me, you’re welcome.”

I froze.

When I lifted my head I noticed my best friend, Adrian.

“Adrian, what is going on?” I asked, confused.

It was then that Adrian decided to share something with me. Something about Natalie.

It turned out that on the day of our engagement party, she disappeared for quite some time. I was busy with the guests and had a few drinks, so I didn’t notice she was absent. While I was unaware of what was happening, all of my friends did notice Natalie sneaking from the party. Glances were exchanged, but no one dared to say anything to me.

“I did this because I thought Natalie would tell you about that night once she read the message on the car,” Adrian said.

I didn’t want to believe what he was saying, but I was determined to get to the bottom of the story, so I confronted Natalie the following day.

As of Adrian, he said he didn’t believe my marriage would last, but now that we were trying for a baby, he knew I was there to stay, so he wanted me to know the truth about my wife.

Pexels

When I mentioned the message in front of Natale, she tried to assure me that it was just a random act of vandalism, but I knew it wasn’t.

Eventually, when I asked her about the night of our engagement, she burst into tears and confessed she was scared and wanted to leave for good. The thought of getting engaged and getting married was overwhelming. At the time, she wasn’t even sure if I was the one for her.

But, she didn’t cheat on me, and I decided to trust her.

I wouldn’t let that night define the rest of our lives.

NYU President of College Republicans Steps Down After Barron Trump Remark

By
Bryan Seal
-

I was surprised to see the headline “NYU College Republicans resign” suddenly trending, but it turns out their chapter president, Kaya Walker, stepped down after her controversial comments about Barron Trump. Barron, now a freshman at NYU’s Stern School of Business, was described as an “oddity” on campus by Walker during a recent interview. She also mentioned a professor’s offhand remark that he “doesn’t really belong here,” likely referencing the university’s progressive bent.

What Prompted the Backlash

Walker’s remarks didn’t sit well with fellow Republicans—especially the national College Republicans of America (CRA). They felt the conversation about Trump’s 18-year-old son was unnecessary and out of line. The CRA stepped in, noting that Vanity Fair might have framed the quotes unfairly, but still deemed Walker’s comments “inappropriate.” As a result, NYU College Republicans resign became the headline when she handed in her resignation last week.

CRA’s Response and Invitation

The CRA, which broke from tradition by endorsing Donald Trump early in the primaries, released a statement reaffirming their support for the former president. They also extended a personal invite for Barron to join them, calling him “the future of the conservative movement.” The group’s president, Will Donahue, added that Barron has shown “resilience” and “courage,” qualities they believe fit well with the organization’s mission. Even with NYU College Republicans resign in the news, CRA insists the situation won’t derail their commitment to the Trump family or conservative ideals.

Where Things Stand Now

Walker’s resignation leaves the NYU College Republicans searching for a new chapter president. Meanwhile, Barron continues his studies, drawing attention mostly because of his famous last name and occasional run-ins with students and professors. While it’s unclear how this resignation will affect campus politics, one thing’s for sure: public remarks about high-profile figures—even fellow students—can carry big consequences in the ever-charged political climate.

What Tom Hanks Really Said on SNL That Sparked Backlash

By
Bryan Seal
-

I was surprised when the Tom Hanks SNL controversy flared up, with Republican viewers especially annoyed by his latest sketch on the 50th anniversary show. The performance included a callback to Hanks’s “Black Jeopardy!” character named Doug, originally from a 2016 SNL episode. Doug was portrayed as a Donald Trump supporter, complete with a MAGA hat. And this time around, the skit reignited arguments on social media over political stereotypes and comedic boundaries.

Revisiting the Sketch

In the original “Black Jeopardy!” scene, Doug avoided shaking host Darnell Hayes’s hand—played by Kenan Thompson—and casually suggested a spin-off called “White Jeopardy!” during the exchange. The new tribute saw Hanks revisit that same persona. Once Doug got a correct answer, Darnell offered a handshake, only to have Doug decline, uttering an awkward “oh no no.” Then Doug quipped about creating a version of the show tailored for white participants. This little snippet ignited the Tom Hanks SNL controversy among Republican viewers who felt singled out.

Social Media Outrage

Some conservative fans took to social media to say Hanks mocked them and labeled them all as “slobs.” One user claimed the entire bit was a desperate attempt to poke fun at half the country. Another vowed to boycott Hanks’s films in the future. Critics argued that the reference to “White Jeopardy!” implied SNL was ridiculing millions of Americans. Despite the backlash, plenty of viewers saw it as standard political satire—especially given SNL’s long history of skewering current events. Even so, the Tom Hanks SNL controversy underscores how divisive political humor can be nowadays.

Trillions of Treasury Payments Are Missing Key Tracking Codes

By
Bryan Seal
-

I was stunned to learn that DOGE reveals missing Treasury codes for a whopping $4.7 trillion in federal payments. According to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Treasury had an optional field known as Treasury Access Symbols (TAS). The big issue? Trillions of dollars were paid out without those codes, making traceability nearly impossible. DOGE praised the Treasury for requiring these codes moving forward, hoping it will shed light on exactly where all that money goes.

Staggering Figures, Surprising Solutions

The revelation came on Feb. 17, when DOGE reported that these missing codes caused huge gaps in financial tracking. Treasury Access Symbols are meant to denote which fund or account a particular payment belongs to, so you can imagine the confusion when DOGE reveals missing Treasury codes for such a massive sum. Meanwhile, DOGE also pitched a plan to do away with paper checks to save taxpayer money—citing an estimated $750 million in annual savings. They claim that, in fiscal year 2024 alone, the Treasury processed around 116 million paper checks.

Ongoing Legal Battles

Led by Elon Musk, DOGE is an advisory commission created under President Donald Trump to sniff out potential government downsizing and cost cuts. However, their reach hasn’t gone unnoticed. Several Democratic lawmakers and labor unions are arguing in court that DOGE’s access to federal systems is unconstitutional. Despite that, DOGE reveals missing Treasury codes has rattled Washington, with the agency claiming it uncovered $55 billion in potential savings through contract cancellations, fraud detection, and more.

Agencies Under the Microscope

Not everyone is thrilled about DOGE’s approach. Some argue that it’s less about efficiency and more about pushing a political agenda. Still, the group ranks USAID first among agencies with the highest contract savings, followed by the Department of Education and the Office of Personnel Management. And though attorneys general from 14 states are suing to limit Musk’s authority, Trump insists Musk must have presidential approval before making changes—something the president says is firmly in place. That hasn’t stopped headlines like “DOGE reveals missing Treasury codes” from sparking public debate about the real cost of government inefficiency.

Big Plans Ahead

Musk and DOGE say they’re determined to press on, insisting that “the people voted for major government reform.” Whether you see them as heroes of accountability or disruptors to the status quo, one thing’s clear: the staggering $4.7 trillion missing identification codes highlight the scale of potential financial chaos. If nothing else, it’s a stark reminder of how vital transparency is when billions (or trillions) of taxpayer dollars are on the line.
