Former President Trump's hush money criminal trial in New York City has found its 12 jurors. Now six alternates must be selected. That process resumes later this morning.        A retaliatory strike against Iran has been launched by Israel. U.S. officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations inside Iran, with no word yet on whether there were any casualties. Several explosions were reported near an airbase in the Iranian city of Isfahan, home to a number of sites linked to Iran's nuclear program.        Google CEO Sundar Pichai [[ pih-chai ]] is speaking out after employees were arrested for staging a protest against Google's ties with Israel and 28 were recently fired in connection with the protest. Pichai said that while Google encourages vibrant and open discussion, the company's polices and expectations are clear.       Taylor Swift's new album has finally dropped. The first single off the "The Tortured Poets Department" is called "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone. Swift has also released a short clip of her new video for the song which is set to debut at 8pm Eastern       Netflix is announcing that it will stop reporting its quarterly subscriber numbers. The streaming service said in a letter to shareholders this week that membership is "just one component" of the company's growth. Netflix said it's "focused on revenue and operating margin" as its main indicators of performance.       Thousands of employees at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee are wrapping up voting today for unionization. Governor Bill Lee has joined governors from five other states opposing the union. Pro-union supporters believe the UAW will help improve safety and wages.
