        It took a WEEK for Dirty Trump to send USNS Comfort. And it'll be another week before it arrives. Unconscionable.

        USNS Comfort is stilled moored to the pier in Norfolk. They did not prepare. Negligence all the way up chain of command.

        Would be great if some of the $700 Billion just approved by Senate in Defense Auth Bill were also directed towards funding this war as well.

        I am really horrified by this. Tragedy bc of disaster is bad enough but this was preventable. All of it. Shame on whoever is responsible

        It's criminal. Read up on Jonas Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Marine_Act_of_1920 … Trump could have lifted that before the storm even hit PR.

        You got 7 stars in the WH between McMaster and Kelly. But they know jackshit about Logistics. Or maybe because the people in PR are brown.

        Maybe we, #PuertoRico, should seek help from Canada? Since Trump obviously is doing nothing

        If you have surplus insulin or diabetes supplies, donate through http://ifl-us.org . People without refrigeration need your help.
