Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Why Christians Wake Up Before Sunrise to Celebrate Easter
- On Easter morning, many Christians gather before dawn to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the son of God, as the sun rises. March 31 marks Easter Sunday this year for the majority of Christians worldwide and the tradition of sunrise services.
- Easter celebrations are not fixed to a specific date, but move between March 22 and April 25 based on a lunar calendar calculation. The biblical symbolism of the Easter worship of the early risers is rooted in the New Testament Gospels.
- It is unclear if the Moravian Church was the first to hold Easter sunrise services, but their annual tradition dates back to 1732. Moravians are known for their brass and wind instrument trombone choirs that accompany the Easter services.
- In addition to the traditional liturgies, the Easter sunrise service includes a silent procession to the Salem Moravian Graveyard, also known as 'God's Acre,' ending among the graves of past generations. Other Easter service traditions include Easter vigils and services in various styles at different locations.

npr.org/2024/04/09/1243778467/for-communities-near-chemical-plants-epas-new-air-pollution-rule-spells-relief
Quick Glance: New EPA Rule Mandates 218 US Chemical Plants to Reduce Toxic Emissions
- A new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency will require over 200 chemical plants nationwide to reduce toxic emissions likely to cause cancer. This rule advances President Joe Biden's commitment to environmental justice by providing crucial health protections for communities burdened by industrial pollution from ethylene oxide, chloroprene, and other dangerous chemicals.
- The rule will significantly decrease emissions of chloroprene and other pollutants, impacting the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana, the largest source of chloroprene emissions in the country. Democratic Representative Troy Carter hailed the new rule as "a monumental step" to safeguard public health and the environment.
- The EPA will cut over 6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually and implement fenceline monitoring to address health risks in surrounding communities, promoting environmental justice in Louisiana and other states. Environmental activists see the rule as a victory for environmental justice, representing a significant step towards clean air and safe communities.
- Focusing on toxic emissions, the rule provides protection for communities that have suffered from underregulated emissions. The introduction of fenceline monitoring for six toxic air pollutants is crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency. This rule marks a significant stride towards a more just and equitable environmental protection framework.
