Lawyers in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial on Thursday selected 12 jurors who will assess his guilt or innocence over the coming weeks in a case stemming from a hush-money payment to a porn star. The defense and the prosecution still must select alternate jurors for the trial, the first ever in which a former U.S. president is the defendant.

By the end of day thee of Donald Trump 's hush money trial, twelve prospective jurors had been seated and sworn in including one woman who described the ex-president as 'selfish.' The jurors had survived a questionnaire, a 30-minute grilling by prosecutors, followed by another 30 minutes of probing by the defense and two jurors from the day before being dismissed. Some potential jurors had their social media posts scrutinized or been glared at by the former commander-in-chief. Others were pressed over whether they could truly remain impartial.

Students at a Utah middle school staged a walkout to protest their peers who identified as 'furries,' asserting they were biting and scratching people. The hours-long protest took place outside Mt. Nebo Middle School on Wednesday. It was triggered by a petition demanding a stricter dress code, though some middle schoolers reported the offending students were physically attacking other people. A 'furry' is anyone with a strong interest in anthropomorphic animals, and enthusiasts often don full-body animal costumes. However, district PIO Seth Sorensen told DailyMail.com the concerns - and rumors circulating online - were 'completely untrue.'

'We were encouraged not to make a big deal out of it and definitely not to tell other families. I couldn't continue to be silent on it.'

Ian Golash, the social studies department chair at Chief Sealth International High School, was placed on leave last week according to the district.

After considering his answers for a few seconds, the teacher responds, 'Yes', and later adds that: 'I think resistance against Israel is justified.'

US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall was stumped when he was quizzed about military overspending by Florida Congressman Mike Waltz, who slammed 'exorbitant' costs for regular items. Waltz used a bag of bushings, small engine components typically costing around $100, to question why the military was spending $90,000 a bag for them. 'This is literally driving us out of business,' he said. 'The interest on our debt alone is now exceeding, for the first time in American history, the entire defense budget.'

Angry Chicago residents blasted Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson during a meeting on Wednesday as he tried to get $70million in taxpayer's money to go toward the ongoing migrant crisis in the city. One woman, dressed in a red MAGA cowboy hat and a 'Chicago RED' t-shirt slammed Johnson and said: 'We need that money in my neighborhood, we need that money on my block.' Johnson has long defended the city's sanctuary policies as $30million has already gone toward the crisis. Other concerned citizens said that they will vote Johnson out of office if he continues to use the money on migrants.

She has since called the tantrum 'the worst moment' of her life, and revealed that she stayed in her house for a month after the fit went viral.

For Ben Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner, it was a celebration of both an ending and a beginning. During a memorial service earlier this month for Garner's father in Charleston, West Virginia, the pair also publicly endorsed their 15-year-old child's new identity. Their daughter, christened Seraphina Rose, now goes by Fin and uses the pronoun 'they'. They were wearing a dark suit and tie, and sported a distinctly unfeminine buzz cut. After making an introduction ('Hello, my name is Fin Affleck'), Fin read a Bible passage in a service that, somewhat ironically, celebrated a grandfather who Garner has previously said was so 'conservative' that she and her sisters weren't even allowed to get their ears pierced.

Another $1.7million in foreign currency was also swiped, taken from a cargo plane that had just arrived from Zurich, Switzerland. Footage shows members of the nine-person group loading it all into a suspect's truck, as cops on Wednesday revealed six of them have since been arrested. Holding the press conference in front of the same truck a year removed from the incident, authorities framed the theft as an 'inside job.' They also revealed three of the men, among them a former Air Canada employee, remain on the run.

An ex-NASA physicist tells DailyMail.com that space junk could strip Earth's atmosphere - as Starlink becomes an 'unplanned geoengineering experiment.' Her new study draws on recent estimates that Elon Musk's SpaceX is currently burning up over 2,755 lbs (over 1.3 tons) of its wireless internet satellite debris into Earth's atmosphere every hour - creating a metal layer of 'conductive particulate' in orbit. Although she notes it is an 'extreme case,' such a layer of charged metal dust could lead to 'atmospheric stripping' akin to the ancient fates of Mars and Mercury

The 40-year-old man was stretchered away from a sea cave called Charco El Tancon in Puerto Santiago in northern Tenerife on Monday afternoon, having sustained 'serious injuries' to his legs. Footage of the brutal injury that emerged overnight showed a group of men believed to be friends of the holidaymaker counting down from five before he launched himself into the air. But the man leapt too far, overshooting the sea and smashing feet-first onto the rocks surrounding the pool dozens of feet below. The witnesses could be overheard reacting in shock and terror as the unfortunate jumper made contact with the rocks before rebounding into the water with clear signs his injuries included at least one broken leg.

Women are taking to TikTok to share their experiences with at-home abortions using pills. Multiple women have taken to social media to share 'day in the life' vlogs documenting the process of terminating their pregnancy at home and offering advice to other who plan on doing so. Sunni, who goes by @justsunni on TikTok, said she decided to share the lighthearted vlog because this is the type of video she was looking for beforehand. 'Have an abortion with me,' she begins her 'Abortion Vlog' as she twirls around her kitchen as 'bright, gentle, spring jazz piano' music plays in the background.Sunni is not the only TikToker to share a vlog-style video of her abortion. An account @plancpills shared footage of a girl named Elise uploaded footage of her 'self-managed abortion.' A report released in March by reproductive health firm Guttmacher Institute showed that there were 1 million abortions in the US in 2023, the equivalent of 16 per every 1,000 women.
