The MAGA pillar is resigning
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on social media that she is resigning from Congress. — I have too much self-esteem and dignity, I love my family too much and I don't want my beloved district to have to endure a painful and hateful primary election. “It's being run by the president we all fought for, just to fight and win the election while the Republicans are likely to lose the midterm elections,” she said.
When asked about calling Mamdani – a self-described democratic socialist – a communist, Trump said the mayor-elect “has his views,” but added that “everyone changes,” just as he himself changed his views after coming to power. He also denied that Mamdani, the first Muslim mayor of New York, was a jihadist, contrary to what Republican politicians accused him of.

What starts today in Poland?
Sybiha talked to Sikorski
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy Andriy Sybiha talked with Radosław Sikorski on Friday. He posted a post on social media afterwards: “I emphasized that European countries, and especially Poland, as a reliable ally and neighbor of Ukraine, must be involved and play an important role in peace efforts. I appreciate Radek's advice, views and suggestions, as well as Poland's support for Ukraine,” he wrote.
What awaits us on Saturday?
Today, the pilot of the “wReadiness” program, i.e. universal defense training, starts. This is the first initiative in Poland that allows every adult citizen to acquire skills necessary in an emergency situation – from first aid to cybersecurity.
The ceremonial inauguration of the program with the participation of the Deputy Prime Minister and the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, will start at 9.30 at the 16th Airborne Battalion in Krakow.
A two-day summit of the G20 group, bringing together the world's largest economies, will begin in the morning in Johannesburg, South Africa. For the first time, the G20 summit is being held without the participation of the leaders of the three most powerful countries in the group: the USA – Donald Trump, China – Xi Jinping and Russia – Vladimir Putin. The United States – host of the next summit in Florida – is boycotting the meeting as President Donald Trump accuses authorities in Pretoria of discrimination and persecution of the white minority.
US opposition threatens to undermine South Africa's chosen agenda for the summit, which was to focus on issues such as the impact of climate change on developing countries, the debt burden of poor countries and widening global inequality. According to the media, it is difficult to expect any progress regarding the conflict in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine or customs policy. It remains an open question whether a joint final declaration will be issued.
