This is the organization Trump is trying to destroy
@svaboda and @RFERL are playing an important role in getting out the news. For those who don't know: These are native journalists, broadcasting in their own language, working for a news service that has US funding but is politically independent and thus credible.
This describes the Trump administration's assault on their independence, which fortunately has not yet been completed

So here we are, at the end of the Polish presidential election campaign. What themes has the ruling party chosen to debate, at this moment of international crisis? Here is one: Trzaskowski, the opposition leader, will "fulfill Jewish demands."
here is another: Gay rights are an "ideology worse than communism"

Exit polls for the first round of the Polish elections are in. The incumbent (just back from the White House) has 41.8%.58% voted for opposition. In the second round he faces Rafał Trzaskowski, mayor of Warsaw. Any outcome still possible.
In any case, Trump's blessing turned out not to be a knock out punch
