You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here

Sanders is still trying to block Clinton's game

It's late. Hillary Clinton and the delegates are totally ready to get it on. But there's one dude who just won't take the hint, even when his crew is headed for the door. Yep, Bernie Sanders went from statesman to "surly teenager" by not conceding Tuesday night, one columnist says. For all his complaints about a rigged process, by any meaningful metric Sanders came up short: delegates, pledged delegates, raw votes, number of states won and number of swing states won. Still, Clinton celebrated the history she made as the first woman to clinch a major party's nomination, cutting a path for a new generation of women, just as politicians like Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro did before her. Or, as Stephen Colbert said: "It sends a powerful message to all women that ... you, too, can be vilified as an unlikable Machiavellian crone."

They have at least something in common: Being billionaires

In the other party, Donald Trump will meet up with Charles Koch (only one of the biggest financial players in Republican politics), USA TODAY has learned. But it may not be a lovefest. Koch has called Trump's comments about a judge's heritage "racist." (Of course, that didn't stop Paul Ryan.) Trump isn't stepping back from those comments, but he is trying to move past them, scheduling a series of fundraisers and speeches designed to unify the GOP. How is the general election stacking up? This interactive electoral map let's you decide it right now.

Sharapova will have to sit this one out — maybe for good

Maria Sharapova won’t be seen in pro tennis in the near future after she was suspended for two years for a positive test for meldonium at the Australian Open. Sharapova has maintained she took the drug for medical reasons. The tribunal deciding the punishment placed the blame with her for failing to reveal her use of the drug, which also led USA TODAY Sports columnist Christine Brennan to call her a “world-class cheater.” Should Sharapova’s appeal of the penalty fail, she'd be eligible to play again in January 2018. Could she return at the age of 30? Tennis experts are skeptical.

Hobbits are real

Turns out J.R.R. Tolkien got it partly right. A species of miniature beings distantly related to Homo sapiens once lived on the Indonesian island of Flores. This we knew. Now, an international team has unearthed fossils of Frodo's ancestors that may explain why they were so small: extreme dwarfism. Not everyone buys this theory, though. What would settle the matter? More halfling bones.

America's soda obsession may finally be over

Super-size that Evian. A new report found that Americans are on track to drink more water than soda by early 2017. The good news: Americans have cut trillions of calories from their diets that used to come from sugary, carbonated drinks. The bad news: Most of us are still overweight.
