Washington Examiner: “‘EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt wants to roll back the clock on environmental protections and drag us back decades,’ said Natural Resources Defense Council president Rhea Suh in a note to supporters Saturday. ‘The best antidote to Pruitt’s illegal attacks on our environment? Federal court,’ she said. The group is preparing to file a number of lawsuits against Trump’s EPA, and is asking supporters to increase their financial contributions to support the coming court effort.

Looking forward to returning to your inbox Tuesday.

Image
MORNING MESSAGE Stanley Fritz, Jessica Wisneski Time to Hold Democrats' Feet to the Fire New Yorkers face grave threats as Trump and GOP lawmakers try to punish states that don’t endorse their divisive agenda. But there is a way we can survive this current crisis, and emerge stronger as a state and a country, if we stand together. It's time to heed what our communities have been saying for years, and hold Democrats’ feet to the fire. Trump’s Racist Outburst Threatens DACA Deal Immigration Talks Muddled Amid Trump’s Vulgar Comments. WSJ: “President Donald Trump questioned why the U.S. would admit people from ‘shithole countries’ Thursday, roiling discussions over a bipartisan Senate deal to protect young undocumented immigrants.

Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...

Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. BAKER'S CONVENTION REBUKE AND A HINT AT WHAT'S TO COME - Charlie Baker  may be the most popular governor in America, but some Republicans gathered in Worcester on Saturday at the GOP State Convention sent him a message: not everyone's on-board. The election of controversial anti-LGBT pastor  Scott Lively  - who delivered a speech rebuking Baker and in full-throated support of  Donald Trump  - appeared to play out as a proxy for many of the delegates still frustrated with Baker's lack of interest in the Trump train. The Lively-Trump connection was anything but subtle. Throughout the concourse and hall of the DCU Center on Saturday, many wearing red Make America Great Again hats al...
