A #TXSen scoop —

You know that play by Democrats to boost MJ Hegar in Texas?

Senate Majority PAC announced a $8.6 million investment.

But in reality, Democratic donors have been pitched on a $28 MILLION buy in Texas.

We saw the confidential memo.

Facebook co-founder Dustin MOSKOVITZ has put at least $20 million into the super PAC Future Forward.

It& #39;s Moskovitz& #39;s single biggest play yet in the 2020 cycle.

And it& #39;s a bet by the billionaire that what matters more than anything else is late TV ads. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/10/20/21523492/future-forward-super-pac-dustin-moskovitz-silicon-valley">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...

Dustin Moskovitz& #39;s team — led by @otis_reid — has read the academic literature closely and concluded that TV ads really do work.

And so they& #39;ve been telling allies throughout the year that they wanted to spend big money on TV — very late in the cycle.

The super PAC Future Forward has $106 million booked on television over the last six weeks of the election, per @Ad_Analytics.

That& #39;s almost four times as much as the next biggest pro-Biden super PAC.

A pretty crazy amount. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/10/20/21523492/future-forward-super-pac-dustin-moskovitz-silicon-valley">https://www.vox.com/recode/20...
