President Trump's hush money trial is rolling on today, with two of the seven jurors already seated in the case removed from the panel. Trump watched as one was let go after being questioned about his arrest record and another was excused when she expressed concerns about her identity being made public. The New York criminal case will eventually have 12 jurors and about six alternates.       New York police are moving in to shut down an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University. The students built tents on a campus lawn Wednesday and refused to leave. The action comes after the president of the university faced a grilling by lawmakers yesterday on Capitol Hill regarding antisemitism on campus.        Republican Mike Johnson is facing threats to oust him as House Speaker as he proposes some controversial votes. Defying the conservative wing of his party, Johnson plans for House votes on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and a separate bill for the border. The conservative flank argues the border should be tied to Ukraine to force Democrats to vote for its passage.       President Biden is receiving a major endorsement from more than a dozen members of the iconic Kennedy family. The Kennedy family appeared alongside the president during a campaign event in Philadelphia today. The endorsement is a snub to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent run for the White House.       Less than one in 10 young Americans think the United States is headed in the right direction. That's according to a new poll from Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics. It says that just nine-percent of voters between 18-and-29 say the nation is generally going in the right direction.        Virginia is making it illegal for the NCAA [[ N-C-Double-A ]] to punish schools for paying athletes directly for their name, image and likeness rights. The law will go into effect July 1st after being signed by Governor Glenn Youngkin on Thursday. NCAA rules currently prohibit schools from signing NIL deals with their own players.
