Nice day, Duda, Ukraine.

What a beautiful day today. It's warm, 14 C, sunny and extraordinary cloud forms. My kind of day.

I had my three hour break but returned home early to work on our American Tax form. They are not due until June 15th but I wanted to get it done while Gabriela was with Joan and I was not interrupted.

I read that President Duda has revoked the priviledge for foreigners to declare asylum in Poland now.  Yesterday, before leaving for Rome, Andrzej Duda announced that he had signed the law on restricting the right to asylum. He emphasized that the law is necessary to strengthen the security of our borders and gives the government the opportunity to introduce instruments to limit migration to Poland.
“I have decided today that the so-called asylum law, as it has recently been discussed in the Polish public and political sphere, will come into force. I have signed this law and I believe it is necessary to strengthen the security of Poles,” the President of Poland said. He added that the law gives the government the opportunity to introduce instruments to limit migration to Poland, including applying for asylum in Poland.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine:

Wartime Ukraine says Signal is a fine messaging platform if you know how to use it and that Matt Waltz’s bomb-the-Houthis chat group was a bunch of noobies.

 Ukrainian military writer Petro Andriushchenko quoted the US publication Politico calling for Waltz to be sacked and opined: “It was reckless not to check who was in the chat. It was reckless to have that conversation on Signal. You can’t have that kind of recklessness as national security adviser…Mike Waltz is a complete idiot.”
