Today’s Rundown:
- CANADA’S LIBERAL PARTY SELECTS MARK CARNEY TO SUCCEED JUSTIN TRUDEAU: Carney secured a decisive 85.9% of the votes in the party’s leadership election, defeating former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. He served as Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013, where he was lauded for steering the country through the global financial crisis. Subsequently, he became the first non-Briton to govern the Bank of England, holding the position from 2013 to 2020.
- HHS OFFERS ALL EMPLOYEES A $25,000 VOLUNTARY BUYOUT PACKAGE: The buyout proposal was disseminated via email to a wide range of HHS staff, encompassing agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This initiative aligns with President Donald Trump’s broader strategy to reduce federal government expenditures.
- MAGA WORLD TURNS ON SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT: The Justice has recently faced significant backlash from some of Trump’s supporters following her decision in a high-profile case. In a 5-4 ruling, Barrett joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s liberal justices to unfreeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid that the Trump administration had attempted to withhold.
- TRUMP APPOINTS LAURA INGRAHAM AND MARIA BARTIROMO TO KENNEDY CENTER BOARD: President Trump dismissed several existing board members, including chairman David Rubenstein and former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, citing a need for alignment with his vision for the arts. He appointed himself as chairman and installed Richard Grenell, a longtime ally, as interim president. This move finalizes the restructuring of the board.
- PENTAGON TO REMOVE ‘ENOLA GAY’ WWII PHOTOS FOR VIOLATING DEI GUIDELINES: The U.S. Department of Defense is undertaking a comprehensive removal of content related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across its platforms, following an executive order from President Donald Trump. This initiative has led to the flagging of over 26,000 images for deletion, with projections suggesting the total could reach up to 100,000.
- SOUTH CAROLINA EXECUTES FIRST PRISONER BY FIRING SQUAD IN 15 YEARS: On March 7, 2025, South Carolina carried out its first execution by firing squad in 15 years, executing 67-year-old Brad Sigmon. Convicted for the 2001 murders of his ex-girlfriend’s parents, David and Gladys Larke, Sigmon became the fourth person in the United States to be executed by firing squad since 1976, and the first since 2010.
- GENE HACKMAN AND WIFE BETSY ARAKAWA’S CAUSES OF DEATH REVEALED: Arakawa succumbed to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a rare but severe respiratory disease transmitted primarily through contact with infected rodent excreta. Hackman passed away from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, conditions exacerbated by advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Given his cognitive state, it’s plausible that Hackman was unaware of his wife’s preceding death and was unable to seek assistance.
- NEWSOM BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ALIGNS WITH PUBLIC OPINION ON TRANS ATHLETES: During the inaugural episode of his podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” he discussed the issue with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, stating that allowing transgender women to compete in female sports is “deeply unfair.” Newsom’s stance reflects this sentiment, potentially positioning him favorably among voters who feel the Democratic Party has moved too far left on cultural issues.
- BEN AFFLECK’S REACTION TO HIS SON WANTING $6,000 SNEAKERS SPARKS PRAISE ONLINE: Affleck recently attended the Got Sole sneaker convention with his 13-year-old son, Samuel, where they encountered a pair of Dior Air Jordan 1 sneakers priced at $6,000. Upon seeing Samuel’s interest in the expensive footwear, Affleck humorously remarked, “That’s a lot of lawns you gotta mow there,” highlighting the significant cost.
- ANORA SPENDS $18 MILLION ON MARKETING—THREE TIMES ITS PRODUCTION BUDGET: The film had a production budget of $6 million but invested $18 million in marketing, distribution, and awards campaigns—three times its production cost. This substantial investment contributed to the film’s critical and commercial success, grossing over $40 million worldwide and securing multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
