Hey folks, here’s the lowdown on today's Congressional rendezvous where writing history is the daily grind! The Speaker, Stanisław Małachowski, kicked things off by discussing how the Houses of Congress are trying to make sessions more efficient. Jan Łuszczewski, a Congressional Secretary, got called on to read a project that could revamp the whole operation.

Michał Mniszech, the Polish-Ukrainian Interior Secretary, underlined the necessity of smooth Congressional operations. Without proper order, even the purest intentions for the good of The Union go to waste.

Next up: Prince Sapieha gets real about politics. From the troublesome liberum veto (yeah, that ancient rule that let any rep nix a whole law with a single vote) to new ways of holding Congresses, it’s all about making solid ground for future laws. He even gave kudos to the energetic youth getting politically active. There’s a new law in town: Representatives can't accept foreign bribes or let sneaky intrigue sway their judgment.

Antoni Czetwertyński, a senator from Peremyshl, reveled in his appointment, pledging allegiance to The President and highlighting concessions restored to Lithuania-Belarus. There’s a collective air-kissing of The President's hands by the Senate, showing their appreciation for his efforts.

Then, Sołtyk, the representative from Krakow, suggested that every law in The Union needs some work. He wanted to dust off some old laws and mix in a few new touches that vibe with current affairs.

Jan Łuszczewski, the Secretary, read proposals: daily Congressional sessions, decisions on military and foreign affairs, and keeping legislative proposals organized and focused.

Albin Skórkowski from Sandomierz adamantly advocated for tackling the financial and military issues first before we can move forward with other reforms.

There’s talk of gratitude for regaining Polish-Ukrainian prerogatives, the significance of the moment, thanking the Big Man - The President - and the urge to launch with the government reform from Tadeusz Błędowski, a rep from Chernihiv.

Finally, The President himself, Stanisław August Poniatowski, popped by. He's all up in feelings, seeing everyone on the same page about government reforms. Still, he’s also got his eyes on the procedures. Today's proposals for better Congress operations had to be shelved for another day. Things were so intense; they called it a day and pushed the next session to tomorrow at 10 a.m., once again reinforcing tradition and looking forward to a more organized future.

That's a wrap for today! Expect more political fireworks tomorrow as they hammer out the blueprints for the government’s future. Peace out.
