With great sadness, we received the news of the passing of Eva Schloss (née Geiringer), an Auschwitz survivor.

Eva was born on 11 May 1929 into a Jewish family in Vienna. In 1938, her family fled to Belgium and later to the Netherlands. She lived in the same apartment building in Amsterdam as Anne Frank. The two girls, only a month apart in age, were sometimes playmates between the ages of 11 and 13.

In 1942, both girls went into hiding in an attempt to evade the persecution and arrest of Jews in Amsterdam.

In May 1944, Eva’s family was captured by the Germans after being betrayed by a double agent within the Dutch underground and deported to Auschwitz. Her father and brother did not survive. Eva and her mother were barely alive when they were liberated by Soviet troops.

After the war, they returned to Amsterdam, where they reconnected with Otto Frank, whom Eva’s mother later married.

Eva eventually settled in London, where she married Zvi Schloss. She authored several books and was a co-founder of the Anne Frank Trust in the United Kingdom.

Eva Schloss passed away on 3 January 2026.

Ruben Gallego's son was upset today and told MVP Harris: "I'm sorry you didn't win."

The interaction that followed is what a true leader does. She even took a minute to give him her VP coin and a little side pep talk. 🥹

@jswhalen1 Yikes. I feel like it’s okay for people to advocate for their teams. This is a new system and people were always going to criticize things as they roll it out. I’m a Bama fan through and through and agree that we didn’t earn our way in this year. But, trash? Come on.

I've been involved in winning presidential races and races that lost. One common thread is that everyone seems to have a reason why you won or lost which usually reflects a personal perspective or agenda.

So here's mine: I think VP Harris ran a very good campaign that operated at a high level. She had a great convention, crushed Trump in a debate, and put on a series of big event rallies that were the best I'd ever seen.

As a Republican operative, I spent years pointing out flaws in the Democratic Party and I'm not here to say it doesn't need to go through a period of questioning and self-reflection. Those are much larger questions than one election and one campaign. But the Republican party is an anti-democratic movement, attacking the pillars of American democracy from elections to the judicial system.

I understand those who say that if there had been a "normal" Democratic primary, the results would have been better. Maybe. But think about it. In modern political history, every time a sitting VP has run for the nomination, that VP has won. Perhaps it would have been different this time and the eventual nominee would have emerged stronger for the process. But more likely there would have been a bloody primary fight that left the nominee broke and trying to patch together a fractured party to face a Republican party that has become Donald Trump's party. In all probability, VP Harris would have won that primary and been in a weakened and vulnerable position when it was finally resolved in May or June.

I would say to my Democratic friends to go through this post-election process with open minds and hearts but never doubt that the Democratic party is the only pro-democracy party in America. No one will have a position in Trump's administration who is not an election denier adhering to the Big Lie. That's toxic to a country's sense of self and the damage will take a generation to repair, if it is possible to heal.

Losing an election does not mean that you were wrong and they were right. It means you lost an election. I grew up in Mississippi watching my parents back candidates opposed to segregation. When those candidates lost, and they did for a long time, my parents didn't question if they were on the right side. They didn't ask themselves if the majority who supported segregation had proven the justness of their cause by winning.

The mid-terms start after the Super Bowl. It will likely be a good election for Democrats and then the 2028 presidential race will be upon us. After a loss, the days seem long but the months will pass quickly. Reflect, rest up, but come back prepared to fight. Fight not because victory is assured but fight because not to fight is to give up. And if we do that, we no longer deserve to call ourselves Americans.

Today, so much is on the line.

On one hand, we have HIM, a felon, a comfortable liar, an impeached president, a misogynist, and a non-leader who doesn’t care about anyone, but the top 1%...which excludes over 300M Americans.

And on the other hand, we have HER, Kamala Harris, a proven leader, a knowledgeable, lifelong civil servant for the people, and a compassionate human being with the strength to lead and navigate our complex government who puts the needs of all Americans first….a candidate with a detailed plan to take us forward.

What does a new way forward look like, you ask?
1. Cut Taxes for Working People
2. Lower Food and Grocery Costs
3. Lower Health Care Costs
4. Lower Prescription Drug Costs
5. Lower Energy Costs
6. Lower Costs by Protecting Consumers from Fees and Fraud
7. Help Americans Buy a Home and Afford Rent
8. Invest in the Small Businesses that Drive Growth, Innovation, and Jobs
9. Invest in American Innovation and Industrial Strength Powered by American Workers
10. Create Security and Opportunity for Workers and Build a Care Economy
11. Strengthen Opportunity in Communities Across America
12. Protect Americans’ Ability to Retire With Dignity
13. Make Our Tax Code More Fair and Promote Growth

My personal favorite - She supports all women having agency over their bodies and reproductive functions - from wellness care, to abortion, to IVF treatment. I mean, for this, she had me at HELLO!

So, take a hard look at what’s on the table. If you don’t exercise your power, you forfeit your right to complain or have an opinion.

VOTE TODAY AND LET’S GO FORWARD!
