👋 Hi, It's Julius with Thursday's news. |
🎢 But first: What's it like to go on every Disney ride? An Atlanta engineer rode all 216 rides at the 12 Disney parks across four countries and three continents. Here's how he did it. |
Donald Trump indicted by New York grand jury |
A New York grand jury on Thursday indicted the former president on unspecified criminal charges . Although the charges were not made public, the grand jury had been investigating hush-money payments to two women who claimed to have had sex with him. Thursday's indictments mark the first time a former president has been charged criminally. Trump has already denied the charges, and previously said he wouldn't quit the 2024 presidential race if indicted. |
Batter up: MLB is back in action |
The long winter wait is over: MLB Opening Day has arrived. All 30 major league teams (including my beloved Dodgers) are scheduled to be in action today, meaning fans won't have to wait to see the return of familiar superstars and the debut of retooled teams. In addition to new faces in new places, we'll also see much-talked-about rule changes play out in regular-season games for the first time. Outside of the impact of the new rules, I'm really excited to see how Shohei Ohtani follows up on two historic seasons and a World Baseball Classic title. Follow updates on all of today's games. | New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge hits a home run in the first inning against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. Brad Penner, USA TODAY Sports |

Nine soldiers dead after Army helicopters crash in Kentucky |
Nine soldiers were killed after two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters crashed Wednesday night in Trigg County, Kentucky, to the west of Army base Fort Campbell, authorities said. The crash occurred during a "multi-ship" exercise using night vision goggles, Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the 101st Airborne deputy commander, said Thursday. Five people were in one helicopter while four were in the other, he said. Authorities declined to identify the soldiers who were killed until next-of-kin notifications are made. | Emergency responders are seen near a site where two military helicopters crashed Wednesday night.

Russia detains WSJ journalist on espionage charges |
The Biden Administration strongly condemned Russia's detention of a Wall Street Journal reporter on espionage charges Thursday and said it was working to provide American Evan Gershkovich with consular access. Russian state media said a Moscow court ordered the Gershkovich, 31, who faces up to 20 years in prison on espionage charges, held until May 29 pending investigation. Gershkovich is accredited to work as a journalist in Russia by the country's foreign ministry, the Federal Security Service said. He is the first reporter for an American news outlet to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia in decades.
