What to know now:
1. Orlando shooting: Some 24 hours after the attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the bodies of the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in American history were being removed. Omar Mateen opened fire on some 300 patrons in the nightclub, stopping in the middle of the attack to call authorities to say he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Mateen, firing an AR-15 rifle and a handgun, continually fired as he moved through the crowded club. According to witnesses, he spoke with some victims, telling them to stop using their phones. By the time Mateen was killed by SWAT members, 50 people were dead and at least 53 were wounded.
2. Sanders, Clinton to meet: Bernie Sanders is set to meet with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday. According to Sanders, he wants "to get a sense of what kind of platform she will be supporting, whether she will be vigorous in standing up for working families and the middle class, moving aggressively in climate change, health care for all, making public colleges and universities tuition-free." On ABC's "This Week," he told George Stephanopoulos he did not think Clinton could lead a "political revolution" – a phrase that has been used to describe his campaign. Sanders says he believes it is unlikely he would be asked to be Clinton's running mate.
3. Apple WWDC: Apple will hold its Worldwide Developers Conference this week. Fans of the iPhone and Macs will get a sneak peek at what's new coming in the fall. One rumor is that Siri, Apple's digital assistant, could start working with third-party apps. The security of the iPhone is likely to be another topic discussed following Apple's fight with the FBI over access to the contents of the iPhone of one of the killers in the San Bernardino terror attack late last year.
4. Tony Awards: The play 'The Humans' won the Tony Award for best play Sunday night, and the cast of "Hamilton won nearly everything else. "Hamilton," a play that celebrates the life of Alexander Hamilton, won 11 Tonys, including Best Musical. The ceremony saw several presenters and winners reference the shootings in Orlando that happened earlier in the day (see Lin-Manuel Miranda's speech below).
5. Stanley Cup: The Pittsburgh Penguins won hockey's Stanley Cup Sunday night, seven years to the day after last winning the NHL championship. The Penguins beat the San Jose Sharks 3-1 to earn their fourth title. Sidney Crosby was named series MVP.
And one more
The Golden State Warriors could win the NBA championship as Game 5 is set for Monday night in Cleveland. If they beat the Cavaliers, they will be doing it without the services of Draymond Green. Green has been suspended for the game after he "made unnecessary contact with a retaliatory swipe of his hand to the groin" of Cavalier star LeBron James after the two got into a dustup during Game 4 last Friday. The game is set to begin at 9 p.m. ET.
In case you missed it
