It appears that Trump has instituted sanctions on the US.
Not sure what else to invest in but it appears that shorting the dollar would be a good move.

Zelensky dismissed claims of $500B U.S. aid as "not serious," stating Ukraine received $67B in arms and $31B in budget support. He accused the U.S. of helping Putin break isolation via Saudi talks. He said that that the war costs $320B—$120B from Ukraine, $200B from allies.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Given that they capitalized in every Trump outrage during the election and folks just straight up didn't care, I honestly don't blame em.
They warned constantly about Project 2025. Nobody paid attention. The media gave Republicans a free pass.

Democrats' playbook for Trump 2.0: Tune out the noise and focus on economic issues
As Trump floods the zone in his first week in office, Democrats are departing from their "resistance" strategy in his first term and zeroing in on issues that cost them the last election.

Long story short, under Supreme Court precedent there is a border search exemption that means we have greatly reduced Fourth Amendment rights within 100 miles from the borders. Which happens to cover nearly two-thirds of the US population

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Okay well that sounds like a Supreme Court Justice colluding with the defense team of a former president* under multiple federal & state indictment so as to provide a path for manipulating legal proceedings which might fall under said justice's review. Seems REAL BAD.
