I never even heard about this movie did they promote it any?

unlike some, i think box office numbers are kind of interesting, perfectly natural to care about them. however, i don’t think WB thought this was going to make a bajillion dollars when they greenlit it. they knew it was a PTA movie. i think they think its okay if it loses money short term.

‘ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER’ is projected to lose Warner Bros. $100M after $140M global gross falls short of $300M break-even.

The $130M production plus $70M marketing and DiCaprio’s first-dollar gross seals the fate for the PTA-DiCaprio drama.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Man, they know the marches this weekend are going to be huge and full of everyday folks and create terrible optics for them and they are just going all-out with the dumb "soros-funded" stuff to try to limit the exposure their fox-bubble base gets to any of it

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger.

We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up.
I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."”

New from me: In March, FHFA director Bill Pulte made himself chairman of the board of Fannie Mae. But after, he did not file a required disclosure form tied to the role with the SEC—the same kind of paperwork error he has used to attack Trump's political foes. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily.

No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million.

Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.
