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 upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- 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: Billions of Underground Wonders in 'Cicada-Geddon', Largest in Centuries
- Billions of evolution's bizarre wonders, red-eyed periodical cicadas with pumps in their heads and jet-like muscles in their rears, are about to emerge in numbers not seen before, possibly for decades and centuries.
- Crawling out from underground every 13 or 17 years, with a collective song as loud as jet engines, the periodical cicadas are nature's kings of the calendar.
- This spring, an unusual cicada double dose is about to invade a couple parts of the United States in what University of Connecticut cicada expert John Cooley called 'cicada-geddon.'
- The numbers that will come out this year - averaging around 1 million per acre over hundreds of millions of acres across 16 states - are astonishing. Easily hundreds of trillions, perhaps even quadrillions, Cooley stated.

Quick Glance: ‘Breaking Royal Norms: Meghan’s Autograph Controversy
- During a visit to a children's hospital in Los Angeles, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, posed for Polaroid photos with kids and autographed them, sparking controversy as it goes against royal protocol of not giving autographs.
- In contrast, reports revealed that Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, was not allowed to sign during a surprise visit last year, highlighting the restrictive nature of royal life.
- The persistence of outdated rules, like the ban on giving autographs, sheds light on the conservative nature of the palace and the challenges of modernizing royal practices.
- Meghan's actions serve as a reminder of the unrealistic and artificial constraints of royal life, showcasing the struggle to break free from traditional practices that no longer hold contemporary relevance.
