Seven jurors have been chosen for Donald Trump's New York City trial, and things are wrapping up for the day. The jury selection process will resume on Thursday until a panel of 12 New Yorkers and six alternates have been chosen. Trump's lawyers have had limited success asking for juror disqualifications because of anti-Trump social media posts.        The House has delivered its articles of impeachment against the Homeland Security secretary to the Senate. In February, Alejandro Mayorkas became the first Cabinet official to be impeached over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. All 100 senators will be sworn in Wednesday for a trial that isn't expected to last long.        Severe weather is hitting the nation's heartland. Heavy thunderstorms packing hail and high winds are expected to make their way across the Midwest today. Areas from Minnesota to Arkansas are under weather alerts with the risk of tornadoes in some areas.        Mexican authorities are identifying the body of the fourth construction worker recovered from the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Mexico's secretary of foreign affairs posted a statement on X, saying Carlos Daniel Hernández "represents our Mexican workers in the USA." Salvage crews found the body of Hernández on Sunday while removing pieces of the collapsed bridge from the Patapsco River.        Social media platforms are "not inherently suitable for youth," say top psychologists, and tech companies and lawmakers need to do more to protect kids' mental health. The American Psychological Association said Tuesday that endless scrolling and push notifications are particularly risky for young people whose brains are still developing. They're not as capable of pulling back from addictive experiences.        Monday's WNBA Draft is the most-watched broadcast of any kind for the league since 2000. Almost two-and-a-half-million viewers tuned in to see Caitlin Clark be selected with the first overall pick by the Indiana Fever. The Draft also marked the first time since 2008 that a WNBA telecast hit one-million viewers.
