Bernie Sanders vs. a Clinton loyalist

A blowup over the weekend pitted Mr. Sanders and his presidential campaign team against Neera Tanden, a former aide to Hillary Clinton who is now the president of an influential think tank, the Center for American Progress.

Mr. Sanders’s team remains convinced that the Democratic establishment worked behind the scenes to deprive him of the party’s nomination in 2016. The new dispute reflects an ideological division among Democrats, between a legacy Clinton organization and a liberal wing trying to move the party to the left to harness the energy of younger voters.

Yesterday: Mr. Sanders disclosed 10 years of tax returns, which showed that his earnings shot up after his first presidential bid. He and his wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, reported income that topped $1 million in 2016 and 2017, lifted by proceeds from his books. Here’s how his returns compare with those of other Democratic candidates.

President Trump has fans in China

Mr. Trump has referred to their country as “our enemy” and “a major threat,” but some of China’s intellectual and business elite are semi-seriously cheering on the U.S. president as he confronts a country that they feel is on the wrong track.

True reform would have to come from within China, but if its trade dispute with the U.S. forces the Communist Party to step back from the economy, it might also have to loosen its grip over the rest of society.
