Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Washington state all hold primary elections today, and the outcome could make the path to the Democratic presidential nomination clearer than ever. The biggest contest of the day will be Michigan, which has 125 pledged delegates up for grabs. Joe Biden has a leg up over Bernie Sanders in the state, according to recent polls (though it's worth noting Michigan polls before the 2016 primary were inaccurate). Biden also enters the day with another big endorsement in his cap: former presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker. Today's contests are considered a do-or-die set for Bernie Sanders before the primary calendar shifts to more Biden-friendly states. Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio vote next week, all places where Sanders lost to Clinton in 2016's primaries. | |  | | Royals
Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex attended their last engagement as senior members of the royal family at the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey. The event was the first time Meghan and the Queen have been seen together since she and Harry announced in January they'd decided to step back from royal life, shaking the foundations of the royal family. Meghan and Harry will officially bow out as senior royals on March 31 and then enter a 12-month transition period as they work on establishing their nonprofit organization. | |  | | Horse racing
Twenty-seven prominent horse trainers, veterinarians and drug distributors have been indicted in a worldwide scheme to give racehorses performance-enhancing drugs to help them win. Prosecutors say the drugs and their effects led horses to injury, illness and, in some cases, death. Some involved in the scheme allegedly were tasked with getting rid of dead animals without properly reporting them. Trainer Jason Servis is among the defendants, and prosecutors say he "doped virtually all horses under his control," including Maximum Security, who crossed the finish line first at last year's Kentucky Derby but was disqualified for interference. Just to give an idea of how much money is at stake with such a scheme, Maximum Security recently won $10 million in the inaugural Saudi Cup. | |  |  People are talking about these. Read up. Join in.

The psychology of why people panic-buy toilet paper, of all things Yeah, what happened to the old milk-and-bread combo? Dolly Parton wants to be on the cover of Playboy for her 75th birthday Give the queen what she wants! A confused 'American Idol' contestant thought Pat Sajak and Justin Timberlake were judges on the show Timberlake, we get, but why did he think of Pat Sajak, of all people?

That's how many troops the US initially will leave in Afghanistan under the government's recent agreement with the Taliban. Withdrawal efforts began this week, with some 12,000 to 13,000 American troops still in the country. | | |  These proposals will help us to tell the story of people and places that for too long have been neglected or marginalized. | | |  | How the Madame Tussauds wax sculptures are made
Hyperrealistic sculpture videos are fascinating, but it's really hard finding one that doesn't open with someone popping in a fake eyeball. No one needs to see that first thing in the morning. Don't worry, though, this one's safe. (Click here to view.) | | | | |
