Good Tuesday morning. It's 27 days to Cleveland, 34 days to Philly, and 140 days to Election Day.

--GOP convention announces new officials: "Longtime GOP campaign operative Ryan Price leads the team as Director of Caucus Operations ... David Urban is Deputy Director of Caucus Operations ... Ryan O'Dwyeris the Director of Caucus Logistics ... John Ullyot is the Director of Communications ... John Wagner [is] Deputy Communications Director ... Amber Smith [is] Press Secretary ... W. Kirk Bell [is] Director of Regional Satellite and Radio Media."

SIREN - "Trump getting crushed by Clinton money machine: The presumptive GOP nominee reported just $1.3 million in cash on hand," by Isaac Arnsdorf and Ken Vogel: "Trump's campaign started the month with a paltry $1.3 million in cash - a mere fraction of Hillary Clinton's $42.5 million war chest ... Even the defunct campaigns of Ted Cruz and Ben Carson had more cash on hand than Trump's. ... The filings detail campaign finances covering the month of May, during which Trump locked up the GOP nomination ... Trump raised just $3.1 million from donors ... [AP: Clinton's campaign raised more than $26 million in May.]

"The May FEC report showed just 69 people on payroll, to Clinton's 685. And the Trump campaign's spending offered no signs of building a national campaign infrastructure. The biggest expenditures included $350,000 for the use of Trump's private jet; $493,000 to rent Trump facilities such as Mar-A-Lago, the Trump winery, and two of his golf clubs; and $208,000 on hats. By comparison, the campaign spent only $48,000 on data management and $115,000 on online advertising." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=49084dbaf01a60099698f15eab1ddfb67060ccc79634f0106c61df2567889269 ...

--N.Y. Times 1-col. lead, "TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS IN DEEP HOLE ON FUND-RAISING: NEARLY BARE WAR CHEST -- Clinton Had $41 Million More on Hand at Start of June," by Nick Confessore and Rachel Shorey, with Agustin Armendariz and Nick Corasaniti: "The Trump campaign has not aired a television advertisement since he effectively secured the nomination in May and has not booked any advertising for the summer or fall. Mrs. Clinton and her allies spent nearly $26 million on advertising in June alone, according to the Campaign Media Analysis Group ...

"Trump's cash crunch marks a stark reversal from the 2012 presidential campaign, which seemed to inaugurate a new era of virtually unlimited money in American politics ...

"Trump has defied conventional wisdom before ... And Republican officials believe they are well prepared to compensate for Mr. Trump's late start. The [RNC] has more than 500 field staff members on the ground in swing states, far more than in 2012, and a robust digital and data operation." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=49084dbaf01a6009213a073a8e8e930e409e7f935ab7b4dff54b9526cbc83f84

IF YOU READ ONLY 1 THING - "How Lewandowski finally ran out of lifelines: Trump's ousted campaign manager was a champion in-fighter, but ended up surrounded by enemies," by Ken Vogel and Ben Schreckinger: "Lewandowski's survival strategy began to backfire this month. ... [H]e was called into one of the executive offices at Donald Trump's campaign headquarters in Manhattan's Trump Tower on Monday morning for the final time as campaign manager ... He'd grown increasingly reckless in his power struggle, taking on the candidate's own family and [RNC] chairman Reince Priebus. ...

"So when Lewandowski was informed in a meeting with Trump's adult children that he was being relieved of his dream job running the first-time candidate's presidential campaign, the career GOP operative didn't argue. Lewandowski emerged from the executive office to find security waiting, and they watched him as he packed up his things, then escorted him out of the building." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=49084dbaf01a60090c4eaf4d4dc782fc3a401ad1862ac7ab5fc82bc6870134e7

--GABE SHERMAN in NYMag.com, "After Months of Loyalty, Trump Finally Decided to Fire His Campaign Manager After a Bad Answer at a Meeting": "[T]he children peppered Lewandowski with questions, asking him to explain the campaign's lack of infrastructure. ... 'Where are we with staffing? Where are we with getting the infrastructure built?' ... their father grew visibly upset as he heard the list of failures. Finally, he turned to Lewandowski and said, 'What's your plan here?' Lewandowski responded that he wanted to leak Trump's vice-president pick. And with that, Lewandowski was out." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=49084dbaf01a60091a0dd9cce77d204e85bf1fde39ab6aeacc6abdf53d7dc0d3

ENEMIES LIST-- WashPost Style front, top of col. 1, "Trump's blacklist turns out to be a bit gray," by Paul Farhi (online: "What actually happens when Trump blacklists a reporter"): "Reporters from affected organizations have to wait longer to enter Trump's events [on a public ticket] ... Reporters banned by Trump get their credential requests turned down via a robo-email ... that says: ... 'During the 2016 Presidential Primary race, the Donald J. Trump Campaign fully recognizes and respects all media but due to various venue sizes, media space, and safety, we must limit the number of credentialed media and give priority to our national and local outlets.

HAPPENING TODAY -- "Clinton plans to rip Trump on economy," by Gabe Debenedetti in Columbus:"In a strike at the presumptive GOP nominee at one of the most politically vulnerable points of his campaign, Clinton is set Tuesday to use Trump's public policy pronouncements and private business record to paint him as too dangerous to oversee the American economy.

Clinton will delve into his public pronouncements and his own record as a businessman." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=49084dbaf01a60096f23cdac5529cf4cda5bf402f87ff834bc98c518dab2270d

** A message from the 2016 KIDS COUNT Data Book from the Annie E. Casey Foundation: The Annie E. Casey Foundation's 2016 KIDS COUNT Data Book finds today's youth - Generation Z - are healthier and completing high school on time despite facing mounting economic inequality and increasingly unaffordable college tuition. Aided by smart policies and investments in prevention, a record number of teens have avoided making bad choices. The Data Book, which focuses on key trends in child well-being in the post-recession years, measures and ranks states in several areas of child well-being. This year, Minnesota earned the top spot again, while Mississippi stayed at the bottom. The Casey Foundation
 offers recommendations for how policymakers can ensure all children are prepared for the future, based on this country's shared values of opportunity, responsibility and security. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=49084dbaf01a6009dba17c04edec263066d60861a84dbc9c6c2d308772ec4179 **
