HILLARY STRATEGERY -- JOHN PODESTA, chair of Hillary campaign, to Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday": "I think the card we're going to play against Trump is that he has always been for himself. He's a self-aggrandizer at the expense of literally thousands of people. And when it comes to Trump University what we learned this week was even his own employees called it a fraudulent scheme."

BREAKING - "Trump shifts position on Libya," by Kyle Cheney: "Trump reversed himself again on Libya on Sunday, saying in an interview that he would have authorized a 'surgical' strike to take out Muammar Qadhafi, after months of telling voters the U.S. would be better off if the dictator were still alive. 'I didn't mind surgical. And I said surgical. You do a surgical shot and you take him out,' Trump [told John Dickerson] on CBS' 'Face the Nation.'

"It's his latest reversal on a crucial element of the Obama foreign policy. ... Trump told Dickerson: 'I was for something, but I wasn't for what we have right now ... I wasn't for what happened. ... I mean look at with Benghazi and all of the problems that we've had. It was handled horribly. ... I was never for strong intervention. I could have seen surgical where you take out Qadhafi and his group.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c768f2a16556d2be4b44893abe2d7459b5ccead4ef5c123fd835

TRUMP to Dickerson, on Paul Ryan: "He's most appealing. He's a good man. He wants good things for the country. We will agree on many things. We're not going to agree on all things. But we're going to agree on many things."

--On whether he sees yourself as implementing Paul Ryan's agenda as president, or Paul Ryan implementing the Donald Trump agenda: "I think it's going to be a compromise, honestly. I can see a compromise."

SUNDAY BEST ... TRUMP, interviewed by JAKE TAPPER for CNN's "State of the Union" (anchoring from L.A., just yards from Dodger Stadium), on who is to blame for violence at his rallies: "It's very important -- the people that are causing the problem, they're not my people. The people that are outside, they're thugs and they're agitators. They're bad people. I think they're sent by the Democrats."

TAPPER: "Do you have evidence of that?" TRUMP: "Well, they have the Bernie signs."

MO ELLEITHEE -- founding executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, and HRC and DNC alumnus -- posts on Facebook: "Thirty-three years ago, when I was 10 years old [in Newton, N.J.], I wrote a letter to Muhammad Ali asking him for his autograph. Seven months later, I received a response in the mail written on the back of my original letter. 'Service to others is the rent we pay for our room in the hereafter.' Rest in Peace, Champ."

--MO's letter (on notebook paper, in extremely neat printing): "Dear Mr. Ali, I am 10 years old and in the 6th grade. You and I have a lot in common. You love boxing and I love boxing. You are Moslim, I am Moslim. You're name is Muhammad Ali, my name is Mohamad Aly Elleithee. Is there something you did not do in your career that you wish you had done? What was the first thing you did when you became Heavyweight Champion of the world? Could you please send me your autograph? For your convenience I am enclosing a self-addressed stamped envelope. Thank you for reading my letter. Sincerely yours, Mohamad Aly Elleithee." Mo's letter http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c768ab34302b853f9c811a2176f2c69d50ea67d77b5c0b990f8b

THE NARRATIVE - San Jose Mercury News lead story, "Voters will decide Tuesday if [Clinton] will battle Trump with a limp, or spring in step," by Matthew Artz in Oakland: "In a fitting final chapter to a surreal primary season, California has gotten all the pomp and histrionics of a high-stakes race -- capped off by Thursday's street fights outside a Donald Trump rally in San Jose -- even though the two presidential nominating contests have effectively been over for weeks." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c768c8b0d12e4e4e5c5b7aed1e7d3b725647d0f3300f04fc1950

GET SMART FAST - L.A. Times A1, below fold, "Deportations divide activists: Democrats aren't far apart on immigration, but some Sanders backers hold a grudge," by Kate Linthicum: "[A] group of Latino advisors to Bernie Sanders ... are vocally critical of President Obama and his party's record on immigration. [These] Sanders supporters frequently mention the record number of deportations carried out under Obama's watch ... Their prominence in Sanders' campaign underscores how much the race between the Vermont senator and Hillary Clinton has become entangled in ... a long-running battle between Obama and his party's left wing over immigration enforcement."

AP FOR MONDAY PAPERS - "lslamic State kills dozens of its own in hunt for spies," by Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Bassem Mroue: "[D]ozens of IS members [were] killed by their own leadership in recent months in a vicious purge after a string of airstrikes killed prominent figures. Others have disappeared into prisons and still more have fled, fearing they could be next as the jihadi group turns on itself in the hunt for moles ... The fear of informants has fueled paranoia among the militants' ranks. ... IS 'commanders don't dare come from Iraq to Syria because they are being liquidated' by airstrikes." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c768ecd3d8fcbd9f444a507cc50335b3f9a7893a6435b479039c

TOP TWEET -- @JamesFallows: "It's 48 hrs since HRC ripped pending GOP nominee as unstable, unprepared, ignorant, etc Not aware of *any* GOP figure rising to rebut."

INSIDE THE CAMPAIGNS -- "Trump campaign pays women less than men," by Boston Globe's Matt Viser: "The women who work for Trump - who account for about 28 percent of his total staff - made an average of about $4,500 in April ... The men made nearly $6,100, or about 35 percent more. The disparity is slightly greater than the gender pay gap nationally. Of the 15 highest-paid employees for that month, only two were women.

"The women working for Clinton - who account for 53 percent of her total staff - took home an average of $3,710. The men made slightly more, at $3,760. ... Trump ... appears to have only three campaign workers who are Hispanic and none are in the top reaches of his campaign. Trump in April had at least four black employees." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c7689f7ad65023ccc747a27cd71a8afcb262cbf7fba5df90075f

DAILY DONALD -- "Tale of Trump and partner in Azerbaijan real estate project," by AP's Jeff Horwitz: "Trump often talks of hiring the best people and surrounding himself with people he can trust. In practice, however, he and his executives have at times appeared to overlook details about the background of people he has chosen as business partners, such as whether they had dubious associations, had been convicted of crimes, faced extradition or inflated their resumes. The Trump camp's screening skills ... would only become more crucial if he won the White House." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c768d52832a8fae76577167c2430f0d5a618903542a8f90dfe27

FIRST LOOK - SEAN SPICER memo, "2383 Or Bust": "While Hillary Clinton will try to claim she's the presumptive nominee, it's worth remembering the DNC has been adamant that superdelegates don't officially count toward a candidate's pledged delegate total until they vote at the convention in July. That means according to the DNC's own rules, if Hillary Clinton doesn't hit 2383 pledged delegates after Tuesday's contests, any attempts to anoint Hillary Clinton the presumptive nominee will be premature." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=e328fe092a13c768a08c83c3036835f950fa25016f491406fe826faa3a2a1bc3

** A message from the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI): Hurricane Season is officially underway. Home, auto, and business insurers are committed to assisting policyholders in need, quickly and efficiently. Insurers have a strong track record following even the most devastating of natural disasters. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, insurers settled more than 130,000 flood claims, with only one percent of claims going to litigation. The private insurance sector paid more than 1,500,000 million Sandy claims from all other insured losses, with less than one percent going to litigation. But there is still work to be done. Insurers are looking at new tools and methods to
improve our response after natural disasters. The industry also is working with Congress to make improvements to the flood insurance system. Building safer, stronger, more resilient communities is a goal for us all. We are all in this together.
