Hey guys! So, let's talk about what went down at the Congress session yesterday. Speaker Stanisław Małachowski kicked it off by saying that persistence is key and unfinished business should be tackled in future sessions.

Right off the bat, Secretary Jan Łuszczewski read a proposal that talked about stuff like military sharpshooters and treasury reports from the Cabinet of both Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus.

Then, Representative Dominik Szymanowski from Rawa Mazowiecka hit the spotlight. He said that although our Congress has been going on for a while (past its expiry date, some would say), folks back home are okay with it cause they're expecting good outcomes for our country. He also noted that we should keep an eye on foreign affairs, especially since there's buzz about troops being moved to Gdańsk which is kinda worrying, and he wanted updates on foreign matters.

Moving on, Representative Mateusz Butrymowicz pushed for a fund collection proposal that's been championed by our President. This turned into a debate about properly distributing taxes (let's call them "levies") among the states and counties—kinda complex stuff!

There was also some drama when Butrymowicz hinted that West Poland might not be playing fair with their grain supplies and selling grain over the border instead of keeping it in the country for the troops.

A hot topic was whether or not the cavalry can survive until the levies kick in, bearing in mind that military supply shortages are a real thing. Arguing about this went on for a good while, and some people really want to see the treasury records before making new tax decisions. Yup, trust issues.

Eventually, the Congress voted and decided that the levy was a go. Not everyone was thrilled about deciding with few members present, but most of them just wanna get stuff done and move forward.

Before they called it a day, news came in from the foreign affairs delegation, but they decided to share this juicy update next session due to time—classic cliffhanger move!

Alright, next update after Thursday's session—stay tuned!

P.S. Guys, don't miss the key fact here: amidst all the commotion and disagreements, peeps are really pushing for what they believe is best for the Union (even though what that "best" is can be pretty contentious). Plus, throwing back to the vibe of collaboration despite the growing pains of a young, complex system, kinda like what we see in modern politics, no? History rhymes, doesn't it? Stay smart, folks! 📚🤓
