CHRISTIAN TOTO: ‘Anti-Trump’ ‘Anniversary’ Bombs, Media Blames You-Know-Who.
The dystopian thriller follows a tight-knit family navigating a totalitarian takeover of the U.S. The film stars Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler, and it made an embarrassingly small amount over the weekend.
Think $260,000 in roughly 800 theaters/screens. Even by modern flop standards, that’s a low figure. So what happened?
The far-Left TheWrap.com pins the blame on, you guessed it, President Donald Trump.
Or just maybe Lionsgate knew they had a stinker on their hands and decided against spending tens of millions promoting it to audiences that wouldn’t have cared anyway.

BUBBLES POP: OpenAI Races to Quell Concerns Over Its Finances.
Sarah Friar, OpenAI’s chief financial officer, faced widespread online pushback after she raised the prospect of government aid for the company at a Wall Street Journal technology conference on Wednesday. OpenAI has embarked on a deal spree to build computing infrastructure to power A.I. development, and Ms. Friar said the company wanted to find creative ways to finance its ambitious — and expensive — plans.
“This is where we’re looking for an ecosystem of banks, private equity, maybe even governmental, the ways governments can come to bear,” Ms. Friar said at the conference in Napa, Calif., adding that it would be “the backstop, the guarantee that allows the financing to happen.”
The last thing the AI industry needs is more money shoveled into it.

Her comments set off concern amid rising unease over whether an industrywide A.I. spending frenzy can be sustained. OpenAI, Meta, Google, Microsoft and other A.I. companies are pouring billions of dollars into building data centers and related infrastructure to power the development of the technology, with some of the companies increasingly turning to creative financing deals to fund the expansions.
Critics have said many of these deals are circular chains of financing, with chipmakers, data center providers and A.I. labs trading cash and stock back and forth with no immediate promise of a return on investment. It also remains unclear if A.I. products can generate large enough revenues to justify the costs of the infrastructure boom, leading to fears of a potentially dangerous bubble.
Late Wednesday, Ms. Friar said in a LinkedIn post that using the word “backstop” had “muddied the point.”
“I was making the point that American strength in technology will come from building real industrial capacity which requires the private sector and government playing their part,” she wrote.
And the government “playing its part” wouldn’t be a backstop, how exactly?

THAT’S NOT ALLOWED, HE’S A MINORITY DEMOCRAT: Mamdani Interview Ended by Staffer After Reporter Asks Uncomfortable Question.
IT’S DIFFERENT NOW BECAUSE REASONS: Top Democrat changes his tune on eliminating filibuster under Trump compared to Biden.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., avoided answering whether he would support eliminating the filibuster, as he did under President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
Raskin was asked by CNN’s Dana Bash about President Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding several Republican losses nationwide Tuesday night and the ongoing government shutdown.
“One of the things that he has been talking about for the last couple of days more intensely is getting rid of the filibuster. That’s actually something that you wanted to do when Joe Biden was president. Things weren’t getting through the Senate. So is that an area where you agree with him?” Bash asked.
“Look, we don’t need a procedural fix at this point,” Raskin answered.
“We” only need it when the Democrats do.
STAY FROSTY:
People are talking about this exchange for a million different reasons.
But maybe the biggest practical takeaway is being overlooked:

I THINK IT MEANS SOMETHING THAT THEY’RE ASKING THIS QUESTION IN THE NEW YORK TIMES: Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace? It certainly has leftists’ panties in a wad.
The thing to remember is that feminism doesn’t address the needs and desires of women as such. It addresses the needs and desires of a certain subset of upscale educated women. Perhaps coincidentally, women’s happiness on the General Social Survey has fallen steadily since feminism got traction.
MOST HILL AIDES FAVOR FILIBUSTER: In something of a shocker, four-fifths of congressional aides interviewed expressed support for preserving the Senate filibuster. The big majority was evident among aides representing both major political parties, according to HillFaith.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Gosh, Whatever Will We Do Without Nancy Pelosi? “Despite the derision I heap upon her, I always give Pelosi the credit she deserves. In her two stints as Speaker of the House of Representatives, she was one of the most powerful people to ever hold the position. She got people to give up their careers to get Obamacare passed. After the shellacking that the Democrats took in the 2010 midterms, a lesser politician would have been kept away from party leadership forever. She clung to power so firmly that she was once again Speaker Pelosi eight years later.”
BUMMER: With government shutdown impacting FAA, commercial space launches from Florida get curfew. It’s more like a reverse curfew, really: “It is hereby ordered that, beginning at 6:00 a.m. EST on November 10, 2025, and until this Order is cancelled, Commercial space launches and reentries will only be permitted between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. local time,” according to the emergency order released yesterday.

ANTISOCIAL MEDIA: Bombshell report exposes how Meta relied on scam ad profits to fund AI.
Documents showed that internally, Meta was hesitant to abruptly remove accounts, even those considered some of the “scammiest scammers,” out of concern that a drop in revenue could diminish resources needed for artificial intelligence growth.
Instead of promptly removing bad actors, Meta allowed “high value accounts” to “accrue more than 500 strikes without Meta shutting them down,” Reuters reported. The more strikes a bad actor accrued, the more Meta could charge to run ads, as Meta’s documents showed the company “penalized” scammers by charging higher ad rates. Meanwhile, Meta acknowledged in documents that its systems helped scammers target users most likely to click on their ads.
“Users who click on scam ads are likely to see more of them because of Meta’s ad-personalization system, which tries to deliver ads based on a user’s interests,” Reuters reported.
Internally, Meta estimates that users across its apps in total encounter 15 billion “high risk” scam ads a day. That’s on top of 22 billion organic scam attempts that Meta users are exposed to daily, a 2024 document showed. Last year, the company projected that about $16 billion, which represents about 10 percent of its revenue, would come from scam ads.
