Unbelievable. #GeniusLeonsis shot this ad in the arena they are trying to dump. Those are the streets of DC that you can see out the windows. That takes some cajones. A $300M upfront giveaway to a billionaire. Hours long traffic backups. It’s not a monumental opportunity. It’s a

Monumental wanted 8k parking spaces. Alexandria only gave them 2500. Believe Monumental's numbers on what's necessary. Which means this is a mess from the get-go. @justindotnet (mayor of Alexandria) says most people will just take Metro and buses to the games. Uh, no. Be real.

What was most interesting in making this ad is that you’re seeing not just the actual stairs Joe Biden’s dad climbed and not just the actual bedroom. You’re also seeing THE bed that his dad sat on to talk with a young Joe Biden. It’s still there. Honored to help tell this story.

ICYMI: Our new ad features Joe Biden’s working-class roots and the values that define him. It is those values that guided Biden as he led the Recovery Act, which saved us from an economic disaster after the Great Recession. We need that leadership today.

Trouble is, every reporter wants to be the one who nails Spicer with a gotcha. Maybe they should realize they're stronger together, too.

I am so sad to learn of the passing of Joe Slade White. Joe was one of the true greats of political ad making who was incredibly generous with his talent, his wisdom and his heart. I will forever miss our conversations and was honored to call him my friend. Godspeed, Joe.

Among my favorite ads I’ve ever gotten to make, these “Job Interview” ads for Bill Richardson are right at the top. @GovRichardson was one of a kind and his willingness to poke fun at himself was legendary.

This is my least favorite ad of the year so far. I'm supposed to think the guy's "an a**hole" because he doesn't curse?? That's nonsensical. The campaign is trying to tie him to Trump, but here he is decidedly un-Trumpian. And don't get me started on the ad having zero substance.

. @GovWesMoore should take careful note of how fickle #GeniusLeonsis is. A billionaire with his hand out is no friend. And taxpayers won’t want to pony up hundreds of millions for another Temple of Ego.

With no good reason when DC is willing to GIVE him a half billion dollars. It’s irrational hatred for the city that MADE him. #GeniusLeonsis is far from it.

@MarkZuckerman This was awful to watch. We were there and it went silent for however long it took to stabilize him. You don’t see injuries like this in baseball and it took the life out of the ballpark. The game, which was already meaningless except for the prospects, became exceedingly sad.

THIS is what #GeniusLeonsis and @GlennYoungkin have been hiding. This arena would be a #MonumentalMistake . With $75 parking, Del Ray will be overrun with scofflaw parkers. And GW Parkway and Rt. 1 will be a nightmare. The idea of a single line of Metro is also a joke. #Scam

I wish he hadn't switched Kamala's name with Trump's at the beginning of this press conference because he's been doing well ever since. But if you only follow Twitter, you wouldn't know that. Incredible nitpicking by reporters that never would have been done without the debate

I always find it interesting when Democrats design their logos with the same font as Trump Tower. They must think it’s a strong font. It’s a subliminal linkage to @RealDonaldTrump , which can hurt with base turnout. @ElissaSlotkin should rethink this.

@TwoWheelsDC @HeyJayJRogers The most active runway is 100 yards away. Same difference. It's incredibly stupid to think you can have outdoor events there. That and the blaring horns from cars stuck in traffic on Rt. 1 (the only road in and out of there) will make for a REALLY great concert experience.
