Good Tuesday morning, and happy Flag Day. WORTH THE CLICK: The front page of today's Orange County (Calif.) Register consists of photos of each of "THE FALLEN 49" from Orlando. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8fda959b624cc271217f849f6ce13b6511ed577fb541f395a6e63bdb7628f8c0

--"Late-night jokesters get serious about shootings in Orlando," by AP Television Writer Frazier Moore: "Seth Meyers ('Late Night') ... referenced Trump's tweet (which said 'Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism....'): 'I don't know who's been congratulating Donald Trump, but you may want to redirect your congratulations to the first responders or those waiting in line to give blood.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8fda959b624cc271e1be2bb764f85771d65fac9868e8eb7e40da90f636803a36

BREAKING -- Jake Sherman: "Speaker Paul Ryan will tell his Republican colleagues Tuesday morning that his political arm has raised more than $30 million for his party since he took the chamber's top job in October, a massive cash haul to help ensure the GOP keeps control of the House this year. Ryan (R-Wis.) will also tell House Republicans in a closed Capitol Hill meeting that he transferred $3.7 million to the [NRCC] in May."

INSIDE THE CAMPAIGNS - "Clinton braces for fight on Trump's terrain: The presumptive GOP nominee's singular focus on terrorism will keep the issue on the front burner for the foreseeable future," by Gabe Debenedetti, with Daniel Lippman and Annie Karni: "Clinton is matching him speech for speech, interview for interview ... Recognizing Trump's ability to swallow news cycles whole ... the presumptive Democratic nominee came well-prepared for the political aftermath of the worst shooting in American history ...

"She immediately neutralized one of his prime attacks by ditching her reluctance to say 'radical Islam,' and sought to corner the real estate developer into a conversation about specifics. ... In past presidential elections, Republican nominees have prospered in times of concern over national security and terrorism. But Clinton's experience as secretary of state has Democrats less alarmed than they might have been by the prospect of a fight on Trump's wheelhouse issue." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f70781a342104e2ac8e53a567788d46ad15a62e34989c7a7a

LINGO - WashPost p. A 14, "Trumpism: A personality-fueled movement resonating in an era of anxiety - He reoriented the axis of politics and discourse, forcing others to adjust," by Karen Tumulty and Bob Costa, with Abby Phillip: "Trump is betting that his brand of politics will be just as compelling in a general election against the ultimate Democratic establishment figure. ... At the same time, Trump can sound open and inclusive on some issues. He blends a modern Manhattan sensibility with his old-school Queens demeanor. ...

"Clinton has begun to borrow some of this techniques - for instance, frequently phoning into television news shows lately." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f000708d9c7fa15ec1b878ae613b6e6f2586194d33dd821a2

--ROGER STONE, "It's time America got some answers about Huma Abedin" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0fdbff5911e1282e4b053eb9949e79c49da508d6568b0a7cdf

TOP TALKER - "Trump revokes Post press credentials, calling the paper 'dishonest' and 'phony,'" by Paul Farhi: "Trump was referring to an article that posted online Monday morning that was headlined, 'Donald Trump seems to connect President Obama to Orlando shooting.' The article was the most-read on The Post's website at the time. Its original headline, which Trump accurately cited in his Facebook post, was changed about 90 minutes later. The newspaper changed it on its own, before Trump's complaint. ...

"In a statement, Post Executive Editor Martin Baron said: 'Donald Trump's decision to revoke The Washington Post's press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press. When coverage doesn't correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished. The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along - honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically and unflinchingly." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0fddcb9e868b773b842328738e0fd3a641fdd9f2b4051fc95e

ORLANDO AFTERMATH ... "Orlando attack may rekindle encryption fight," by Martin Matishak: "Photos posted on social media showed Mateen holding what appeared to be a Samsung phone, which may have lacked the iron-clad security of the Apple iPhone that frustrated the FBI's investigation into the San Bernardino shootings. But it's still possible he might have used one of a growing array of encrypted apps - such as the Facebook-owned WhatsApp - designed to keep people's communications safe from prying by governments and criminals." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f81dcceec56067d167d17ef87ed45ed4633707d6b6ed6e2da

--USA Today banner, "POLICE DEFEND RESCUE BLITZ: Officers may have shot club patrons," by Arek Sarkissian of Naples Daily News: "Orlando Police Chief John Mina and other law enforcement officers offered new details about the shooting, including the possibility that some victims may have been killed by officers trying to save them. ... 'all part of the investigation.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f9c0fa9e861433800b8134aa91af13dccc485d881ef51aefb

--WashPost A1, above fold, "THE SHOOTER: Mateen said to be patron of club he terrorized," by William Wan in Fort Pierce, Fla., and Anne Hull in Orlando: "Kevin West said he was in the parking lot at the Pulse nightclub at 1 a.m. Sunday when he recognized Omar Mateen walking in. The men had met more than a year ago when Mateen reached out to West on Jack'd, a dating app for men.

"They then lost touch until three months ago, when Mateen made contact again, mentioned that he would be in Orlando soon and suggested meeting for a drink. West had also seen Mateen at Pulse multiple times before." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0fdd0ab7441f883db7cbb013a9e7776dcb2c486c0b1548de9f

--Daily Mail, "Mateen was gay, says ex-wife and former friend: Orlando terrorist used homosexual dating app and visited Pulse at least a dozen times": "Mateen's first wife ... told [N.Y.] Daily News his family [thinks] he murdered the 49 because he was in turmoil about who he really was - not because he was an Islamic extremist. ... [Her fiancé said] Mateen had 'gay tendencies' and had been called gay in front of her on several occasions by his father. ...

"She had told the FBI that he was unstable, and that she didn't believe he was part of a terrorist group ... 'The FBI asked her not to tell this to the American media.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0fb32b1932780e513059a3ff5b14de07ae3a64c331990a8cf4

WHAT BROOKLYN IS READING -- "Trump was accused of destroying email evidence in lawsuit 10 years ago," by USA Today's Paul Singer (tease at top of 1A, with story inside): "In 2006, when a judge ordered Donald Trump's casino operation to hand over several years' worth of emails, the answer surprised him: The Trump Organization routinely erased emails and had no records from 1996 to 2001. The defendants in a case that Trump brought said this amounted to destruction of evidence." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0fd0e675875230ba53f8a070c529fcc08a4b84691e5b3bef48

CLICKER -- "70 Photos of Donald Trump for His 70th Birthday" -- The first pic: "Young Donald J. Trump. The caption on his August 1, 2013, Facebook post: 'Who knew this innocent kid would grow into a monster? #TBT'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f7363c6867b60ac9c15a40abd662cf44b2da790ba2c8a70a2

SARAH HURWITZ PROFILE -- "What's on Michelle Obama's mind? Meet the speechwriter who puts it into words," by WashPost's Krissah Thompson: Sarah "Hurwitz, the first lady's head speechwriter, has written for the Obamas for eight years and for Michelle Obama exclusively for nearly seven. The two have worked so closely together that nearly every word the first lady has spoken in public has been written or edited by Hurwitz. ... The 38-year-old Harvard Law School grad is an Obama original, one of the few remaining staff members who joined the White House straight from the 2008 campaign. She started that cycle, though, as Hillary Clinton's chief speechwriter."

DIAZ/ROE/CONANT INTERVIEW -- "These three campaign gurus for Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have had some time to reflect on their loss to The Donald. And do they ever have stories to tell," by HuffPost's Sam Stein: "It's been roughly 40 days since Donald Trump became the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republican Party, and the mere fact of it hasn't come to feel any less weird, or any less scary. It also means that the three people I had coffee and pastries with last Wednesday morning-Danny Diaz (Jeb Bush's campaign manager), Jeff Roe (Ted Cruz's campaign manager) and Alex Conant (Marco Rubio's communications director)-have been able to process what the hell happened.

"Well-compensated, highly intelligent and very publicly defeated, each one of them is still angry, both at Trump and at the media. Each one of them has theories about how we got to this very disconcerting place in American political history. And not one of them is prepared to vote for Trump." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f7af2cd33e356bc109c9e784e9897b87d81e97bc9713f9c1d

"A source from the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign said there was 'panic everywhere' at signs that the referendum may be slipping away, although a senior Remain campaign source insisted that it was still on track to win. ... There are concerns about the lack of a ground operation." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0fae3bb6e516113f92ae2d7211f9db6634cf9c5dc2888e9c97

--WSJ A1, bottom of page, "As 'Brexit' Gains Favor, Global Markets Swoon," by Riva Gold: "Britain has been among the best performing of the major European economies in recent years, and many economists say a vote to leave the EU would hit investment hard-and possibly deliver a shock to consumption and growth overall. ... A polling barrage [toward 'Leave'] began late Friday ... On Monday, the dominoes fell onto Japan." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f9ee1ae6a10c842a41980bba1c5683d3187b6feba86a13093

--IF YOU READ ONLY 1 THING ... ALAN MURRAY, editor of Fortune, in his intro to today's Fortune CEO Daily, with subject line, "Sleepwalking to Disaster": "Underlying these trends is a general revolt against the elite -- with business leaders as well as political leaders included in that tent. That's the real lesson of the Brexit vote, as well as the rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in the U.S.

"And it's probably the biggest challenge leaders of large global companies face in the years ahead. They need to find a way to restore the public's trust in their businesses and in the global economic system, or see that system continue to erode." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=c014bc198f67ad0f2fec7b30bc974ca08cdfbadfc2f0a850234926d464b17ffa
