Hey friends, today's congressional session was buzzing with energy; it's like there's a real sense of urgency. With threat levels at an all-time high, we're seeing major moves toward bolstering the Union's financial and military standing. Our Speaker, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, kicked things off, pointing out how yesterday's session marked a significant moment, with many Representatives offering portions of their own wealth to fund national defense.

Lithuania-Belarus' contributions were especially notable, represented by Speaker Kazimierz Sapieha. Despite previously held sessions where little was accomplished, hope was restored as the Representatives from Lithuania-Belarus proposed hefty contributions to the Union's defense fund.

There was a bit of back-and-forth regarding whether these financial offerings should be deducted from permanent revenues, with some Senators, like Senator Jacek Jezierski from Łuków, raising concerns about setting a precedent for future taxation. But after much debate and discussion, the contribution plan from Lithuania-Belarus was unanimously adopted.

Following this, Internal Affairs Minister Michał Mniszech representing Poland-Ukraine called upon representatives to sign the agreed-upon proposal. It seems like we're witnessing a profound moment of unity and sacrifice where everyone's coming together for the greater good. There was a feeling that these offerings could set an important precedent. It's clear everyone's deeply invested in the idea of 'by the people, for the people'—putting personal assets on the line to ensure the nation's safety.

On a separate note, Representative Stanisław Kublicki from Latvia had some interesting points regarding the Union's financial prosperity and sources of revenue that could benefit the nation.

What's clear from today's gathering is that national security is the top priority, with a big focus on financial solutions to ensure adequate defenses. The sense of patriotism and duty to the homeland was, frankly, quite stirring. It's not every day you see politicians offering up their own cash to fund an army, right?

Session's adjourned until Thursday, 10 AM. Stay tuned for the next update from our nation's capital, and let's hope the momentum for progress continues.
