Progressives Unveil New Tactics to Counter Trump

Progressive Democrats are adopting a new strategy for dealing with a potential second Trump presidency by supporting his populist proposals that align with their goals, such as capping credit card interest rates and tackling corporate monopolies.

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported a slight 0.5% increase in total application volume, marking the first rise in seven weeks.

Women Stockpile Reproductive Health Supplies Ahead of Potential Trump Return

In response to concerns over potential restrictions on reproductive rights under a second Trump presidency, American women are increasingly seeking emergency contraception, abortion pills, and long-term birth control methods like IUDs and sterilization. Organizations like Aid Access and Wisp have reported significant surges in requests for abortion medication and emergency contraception following Trump's reelection. Despite Trump's moderate campaign stance on abortion, fears persist about possible legislative and judicial actions that could limit access to reproductive healthcare.

European Banks Prepare for Renewed U.S. Competition

European banks are facing increased competition from U.S. banks as a potential second Trump presidency could lead to financial deregulation in the U.S., benefiting American banks with tax cuts and relaxed regulations. This contrasts with Europe's strict oversight and low-interest rates, making it harder for European banks to compete. While some European banks have started to recover, the expected U.S. policy changes could widen the earnings gap further, prompting European banks to lobby for regulatory easing in Europe.
