Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders: Two Liberals Aiming for the Same Target
Neither Ms. Warrenâs campaign nor that of Mr. Sanders will say at this point that they are deliberately eyeing each other, even though they are the candidates â out of more than 20 â who most represent the Democratic Partyâs left flank.
Here‘s what @TuckerCarlson last night extensively quoting and praising @ewarren‘s economic plan, contrasting it with the inability of the GOP to defend US workers because they‘re in servitude to the Koch Brothers, corporatism & libertarian economic theory

Warrenâs âEconomic Patriotismâ Plan Beats Trump at His Own Game
(04.06.2019)
âIf they can close up an American factory and ship jobs overseas to save a nickel, thatâs exactly what they will doâââabandoning loyal American workers and hollowing out American cities along the way.â
The senator then turns her fire on the politicians who abetted these betrayals â mocking their attempts to use âglobalizationâ as an alibi. âGlobalization isnât some mysterious force whose effects are inevitable and beyond our control,â she notes. âNo ââ âAmerica chose to pursue a trade policy that prioritized the interests of capital over the interests of American workers.â
In the last 40 years, corporations have squeezed everything they can out of workers while giving massive compensation to those on top. The result: half of Americans have virtually no wealth and live paycheck to paycheck. Weâre going to create an economy that works for all.

2020 Democrats will be tripping over each other in Iowa this weekend
And if the tone of last weekend‘s party convention in California is any indication, the speakers can also be expected to use their time to swipe at the frontrunners — either hitting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from the right, or jabbing former Vice President Joe Biden from the left. The shindig will also present yet another opportunity for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the rising progressive from Massachusetts, to highlight her message — which went over so well out west — and entrench herself among the top tier of contestants.

Kahol Lavan Goes AWOL
Also, back in April, neither Kahol Lavan chairman Benny Gantz nor leading party figure Gabi Ashkenazi bothered to attend the seminar for new MKs, meant to prepare them for working in the Knesset.
Taken together, these reports paint an unflattering picture of an amateurish, disorganized, lazy opposition party. Despite the military background of some of its leaders, formulating a strategy and pursuing it with determination and consistency doesnât appear to be the partyâs modus operandi.
U.S. Ambassador Says Israel Has Right to Annex Parts of West Bank

Germany braced for catastrophic Trump auto tariffs – which could create a perfect storm for Europe
US taxes on car imports could act as a massive jolt to the blocâs economy, wiping âŹ14.5bn (ÂŁ12.9bn) off GDP, according to analysis from investment advisers, Redburn. The firmâs economists believe a ânasty turnâ in EU-US trade tensions is coming, which when combined with market nerves over Italian debt, could shake the eurozone.
If the US presses ahead with tariffs, Germany, which relies on carmaking for a fifth of its manufacturing activity, could see 0.28pc shaved from its GDP alone, Redburn claims.
