By Ryan Heath ([email-masked]; @politicoryan) and Daniel Lippman ([email-masked]; @dlippman)

Good Friday morning from Brussels where we're still in shock and from Washington which is just now waking up to the big news. THE BREXIT EARTHQUAKE HAS ARRIVED.

-- The UK has voted to leave the European Union

-- David Cameron will resign as prime minister (most likely taking effect in September)

-- The Bank of England is vowing to do whatever it takes to stabilize swooning markets

-- European populists in France and Netherlands are calling for referendums

London is in shock this morning. The UK capital voted by a margin of two to one to stay in the European Union and as voting finished at 10 p.m. UK time, all signs indicated a narrow win for the status quo. As late as 3 a.m. the two camps were running at 50.01% for Leave and 49.99% for Remain, before the Leave campaign raced to a lead of more than one million votes. The vote now stands at 51.9% for Leave, 48.1% for Remain with 100% of votes counted.

--AP's Jill Lawless and Raphael Satter in London: "It's often said that David Cameron is a lucky politician who has seemed to coast through politics on instinct and charm during a career that has culminated in six years as British prime minister. On Thursday, his luck ran out. In calling a referendum on Britain's membership in the European Union, Cameron made a gamble that sank his career - and set his country on a course to leave an international alliance it joined more than 40 years ago. ... Brexit was a rare but fateful miscalculation for a politician who has a reputation for thriving under pressure and astutely judging political risks." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094cc24fc7338f69fc9b937aa83b8fc02a2bd5c97940b92085e3

TRUMP "Statement Regarding British Referendum on E.U. Membership," emailed at 5:26 a.m. Eastern: "The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples. They have declared their independence from the European Union and have voted to reassert control over their own politics, borders and economy. A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense. The whole world is more peaceful and stable when our two countries - and our two peoples - are united together, as they will be under a Trump Administration.

"Come November, the American people will have the chance to re-declare their independence. Americans will have a chance to vote for trade, immigration and foreign policies that put our citizens first. They will have the chance to reject today's rule by the global elite, and to embrace real change that delivers a government of, by and for the people. I hope America is watching, it will soon be time to believe in America again."

TRANSATLANTIC TSUNAMI: Politico's Joe Schatz in London and Morning Money's Ben White: "British voters didn't just shock the world and the financial markets by voting to leave the European Union hours ago: They also ignored President Barack Obama, handed Hillary Clinton a potential economic burden and injected new energy into the populist currents roiling politics on both sides of the Atlantic." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094c1ea77b9e2e3bfa31375fc021c3e804146a41d30cbd795c50

SIX TAKEAWAYS ON BRITAIN'S SHOCK VOTE: David Cameron and George Osborne will pay for defeat, Labour faces turmoil - and UKIP's Nigel Farage is triumphant. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094c8fa4e6d3a60e364978b12eb9d2804c6fbaf6abded29d7ef6

ECONOMIC MESS THIS MORNING: The British pound fell off a cliff overnight, losing 18 cents against the dollar, to hit its lowest level since 1985 until recovering to $1.37, down 8 percent. Per Reuters, London's FTSE dropped 6 percent in early trading, while other major European markets were down between 7.5 and 11 percent. Japan's Nikkei lost 7.9 percent. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094cc421380ad7a7fefa06b0220b57150e62d04d42d72e848763

CONSTITUTIONAL MESS: Two-thirds of elected members of Parliament support EU membership. Scotland and Northern Ireland also voted clearly for Remain, putting Scottish independence again in the political frame.

--"Moody's Says Brexit is a 'Credit Negative' for UK ratings" - Reuters/London: "'This outcome heralds a prolonged period of policy uncertainty that will weigh on the UK's economic and financial performance,' it said in a statement. 'Heightened uncertainty will likely dent investment flows and confidence, weighing on the UK's growth prospects - a credit negative for the UK sovereign and other UK debt issuers.'"

--JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank may have to relocate between 1,000 and 4,000 employees.

BRITAIN REACTS ...

--David Cameron: "I think the country requires fresh leadership ... It would not be right for me to be the captain that steers our country to next destination."

--Nigel Farage: The man widely seen as the architect of the referendum called for nothing less than the unwinding of the EU, and a bank holiday in the meantime for June 23 as 'independence day.'

--FT: "Sixty years of European statecraft has gone into reverse."  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094c74fe0948d775c98052147ab3ea981900d98ee106419436e8

FELIX SALMON on Fusion, "With a single vote, England just screwed us all": "The Leave campaign might have paid superficial lip service to the idea of a global Britain with more room for Bangladeshi immigrants, but make no mistake: this was a racist campaign that ended up causing both death and disaster." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094c87b641ce463a9c077982cebaef771ff9b2929e45107454a7

EUROPE REACTS ...

--European Council President Donald Tusk, whose job is to forge consensus between Europe's 28 national leaders: "this is not a moment for hysterical reactions"

--Germany's Foreign Ministry has tweeted that this is "a sad day for Europe" and that the news from Britain are "very sobering." Chancellor Merkel: Germany has a "special interest and special responsibility" in European unity succeeding.

--Marine Le Pen, the French populist party leader, said on Twitter that "freedom has won."

STAT DU JOUR: 66% people who left school at 16 voted for Leave. 71% of those with university degrees voted to Remain.

GENERATIONAL DIVIDE: A YouGov survey Thursday showed a clear young-old divide: among 18-24 year olds, 75% voted to remain. For 65+, 61% for leave.

SCOOP -- "Clinton's State Dept. calendar missing scores of entries," by AP's Stephen Braun: "[S]cores of names and events [are] missing from Clinton's historical record of her daily activities as secretary of state ... The AP review of Clinton's calendar - her after-the-fact, official chronology of the events of her four-year term - identified at least 75 meetings with longtime political donors and loyalists, Clinton Foundation contributors and corporate and other outside interests that were either not recorded or listed with identifying details scrubbed. ... The names of at least 114 outsiders who met with Clinton were missing from her calendar."http://apne.ws/28Rdf3h

INSIDE THE CAMPAIGNS -- "Clinton's cash stockpile strategy: Her top fundraisers face an unexpected obstacle: Big donors who worry Donald Trump might not be the GOP nominee," by Annie Karni: "There's no evidence that Trump is considering dropping his presidential bid, and it's unlikely Republicans will dump him as the party nominee. But Clinton's well-heeled supporters are nevertheless worried by the prospect of running against anyone other than him. 'That's all anyone's worried about,' said a Clinton donor who attended a fundraiser in Manhattan last week. 'People wanted to know from her, "what do you think the odds are that Trump's not the nominee."'"

POLITICAL FALLOUT from yesterday's big SCOTUS immigration ruling from top Playbookers:

JOHN WEAVER: "If Hispanic turnout increases because of the issue, that is obviously very good news for Secretary Clinton. Hard to imagine Mr. Trump hasn't already squeezed out the support he's going to get from his position and tone."

STEPHANIE CUTTER: "I think you'll see a well-organized effort in presidential battleground states - and especially in targeted Senate races in Florida, Arizona and Colorado - to drive the vote. It's more than a net negative for Republicans."

GOP SENATE AIDE: "Look, Republicans win in the short-term. It's another feather in their cap when it comes to beating back Obama's executive overreach. The base is thrilled. But make no mistake, it helps Democrats, too. They're playing the long game here and clearly have an edge."

SARAH ISGUR FLORES: "I think the biggest political impact is that it reenergizes the 'this election matters because of SCOTUS' mantra for both sides. As high as the negatives are for Trump and Hillary, the Dem and Rep base are even more horrified of the other side's nominee picking that 5th vote."

2016 PLAYERS -- "Prominent GOP Neoconservative to Fundraise for Hillary Clinton," by Foreign Policy's John Hudson: "Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a co-founder of the Project for the New American Century, will speak at a Hillary for America fundraiser in Washington's Logan Circle neighborhood on July 21."  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094c83fcca37b03a56b036271b694d1d52d9aabe18e2a138150b ...

-- JASON ZENGERLE in GQ, "Don't Mess With Neera Tanden, Hillary's Twitter-Loving, Self-Appointed Secretary of Defense": "A longtime supporter of and advisor to Hillary Clinton, Neera Tanden is expected by many to play a key role in any future Clinton administration-maybe even as Hillary's White House Chief of Staff. In the meantime, she's taken on a self-appointed role as one of Clinton's most pugnacious defenders on Twitter. ... [O]n social media @neeratanden has been taking swipes at everyone from Bernie Bros to Shailene Woodley."  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094cc8b46c45ed65009ab52088400b65a238275ac9546f7e9ecc

--"Donald Trump finally hires Ohio campaign manager," by Cincinnati Enquirer's Chrissie Thompson: "Bob Paduchik, who ran George W. Bush's two successful presidential efforts in Ohio, will serve as state director for the presumptive GOP nominee. Paduchik had worked for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign during the 2016 primary. ... Paduchik also ran Sen. Rob Portman's 2010 campaign."  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094cedde0cf10d92fbf43a2aa8df013eabb9770ef51aa1dc0dde

THE BEST LINES from last night's "District of Comedy Roast of James Carville," at the Kennedy Center hosted by Bob Saget with other comics and politicos joining in the fun. (SPOTTED in the crowd: JMart and Betsy Fischer Martin.) Paul Begala: "Mary and James have America's most famous mixed marriage. She's a devout Republican; he's a reptile. ... People ask me all the time the secret to their marriage. Simple: they're both hopelessly in love with the same man."

S.E. CUPP: "James, you're an old, bald, angry, white guy from the South - how are you not a Republican?"

BILL CLINTON sent in a video: "I tried to pass comprehensive health care so James can see a real doctor, rather than continuing to self medicate on Maker's Mark and coffee."

REV. AL SHARPTON: "James, you've been sitting here all night while a bunch of mainly white people say terrible things about you, humiliate you, diminish you. Welcome to MY life."

JAMES CARVILLE: "If I can get serious for a moment ... being up here makes me think of what America is supposed to be. Cause where else can we have me, James Carville, whose ancestors owned slaves, sitting on the same dais with Al Sharpton...who's never worked a day in his life."

So it is ... experimenting with video interviews to open up the field to entry-level roles and turn up candidates who aspire to a long-term career in banking, rather than a short stint. Goldman said Thursday that its recruiters will no longer conduct first-round interviews for summer positions on campus at elite schools like Harvard, Yale and Stanford University."

DESSERT -- "Barnes & Noble Opens a New Chapter in Food and Drink," by WSJ's Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg: "During an investor conference on Thursday, the bookseller said the concept stores it's unveiling in fiscal 2017 will feature cafes offering wine and beer in spaces that will be double the size of its typical cafes. The retailer is also throwing its hat into the competitive restaurant business, a strategy that some independent booksellers have successfully embraced. In addition to its traditional cafe fare, Barnes & Noble will offer a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, together with waiter service at the four new stores." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=8260d31e00b7094cc6a5e7647dd7eb76f127f91e7b8783ec820862be28ec7c9f

** 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=8260d31e00b7094cbeb07c9063f756277f379c8c7e544f54608f8a76c335fc45 **
