Donald Trump avoided impeachment. But another game is brewing in Congress... (translated)

Trump's war with Iran has already cost the USA 38 billion dollars... Each subsequent month adds another 3 billion, more expensive energy, higher inflation, and diminishing ammunition supplies. "America First"? (translated)

The government wants to allocate 4 billion PLN from the tax on extraordinary profits of companies to reduce fuel prices... The previous law was sent by the president to the Constitutional Tribunal. The question is simple… will he sign it or block it again? #CPN #Fuel (link in the comments) (translated)

230 million dollars in losses. Venezuelan oil, cryptocurrencies, and Polish money. This is not a movie scenario… it's a bill for a state operating like a casino. The transaction was conducted by Samer Awad, head of Orlen Trading Switzerland. Daniel Obajtek was the president of the entire Orlen at that time. Who is responsible for this? (translated)

Democracy rarely dies in one day... First, institutions weaken, then accountability disappears, and finally, people get used to the fact that their voice doesn't matter... Today is the International Day of Democracy… not a celebration of victory, but a warning signal... (translated)

One can criticize the Union. One can argue about its policy. But numbers cannot be shouted down... In the first seven months of 2026, as much as 74.8% of Polish exports went to EU countries. We sold goods worth 718.7 billion PLN there, achieving a trade surplus of 204.3. (translated)

Trump announced a "deal" that no one has confirmed... Zelensky responded clearly: Ukraine will stop striking Russian energy when Russia stops destroying Ukrainian energy. Peace is not about disarming the victim... (translated)

Russia doesn't have to immediately cross the border with tanks... First, it sends drones, saboteurs, and disinformation... checking how long we will pretend that nothing is happening... (translated)

Russia is testing how far it can go... And some of our politicians still do not understand that the time for small politics is over... (translated)

Clothes already cost 108 dollars... 60% more than last year. The guilty have names... Putin set Europe on fire with war. Trump set the Middle East on fire, and now demands that Ukraine save Russian refineries. We will all pay for their inflated egos... at the pumps and in stores... (translated)

50 million euros for the next military aid package for Ukraine. And very well! This is not a gift for Kyiv... it's an investment in Poland's security. Every Russian tank destroyed in Ukraine won't head our way. Aid costs. Surrender would cost many times more. (translated)

€360.6 billion deficit of the EU in trade with China. In 2025, the deficit increased by 15%, and in the first half of 2026, it rose by another 9% year-on-year. The problem for Europe is not that China produces too much... The problem is that Europe produces too little of what the world wants... (translated)

Good morning on Thursday... Today we celebrate World Suicide Prevention Day... Not everyone who smiles still has strength. Not everyone who is silent wants to be alone... You don't have to be a psychologist or know the perfect answer to notice another person... Sometimes (translated)

A Pole attacked a Ukrainian citizen for no reason. "He punched him in the head, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground"... Such is the effect of hate speech... (translated)

Russia was preparing a drone attack on a German airport... while Lavrov threatens Europe. At the same time, far-right politicians argue that sanctions should be lifted and that we should "make a deal" with Moscow. Putin is not proposing peace... he is testing how much fear and naivety he can find. (translated)

Good morning on Wednesday... Today we celebrate the International Day for the Protection of Education from Attack. War takes away homes, safety, and loved ones from children. An attack on a school also takes away their future... A building can be rebuilt. It is much harder to rebuild a child's trust in... (translated)

American peace envoys left Kyiv... a few hours later, Russia attacked the city with missiles and drones... Two people died. Blocks, a school, and a clinic were damaged. Putin once again showed how he understands negotiations: the world talks about peace, he responds with fire. (translated)

Alice Weidel, the leader of AfD, wants to close the borders, deport migrants, and defend the "traditional family"... She herself lives in Switzerland, is creating a family with a partner born in Sri Lanka, and is raising two adopted sons... There's nothing wrong with that... What is disgusting is something else: for (translated)

Good morning on Tuesday! Today we celebrate International Literacy Day. According to the latest UNESCO data, at least 739 million adults worldwide still cannot read or write. Two-thirds of them are women. Reading is much more than just the ability. (translated)

First, he was considered a pest. Later, he was ruthlessly exterminated. He was only given protection when it was already too late. Today marks 90 years since the death of the last known Tasmanian wolf. The story of its extinction serves as a reminder that humans can very quickly destroy something. (translated)
