    One year ago today #HurricaneMaria made landfall in Puerto Rico. The storm's deadly & destructive wake was followed by staggering inaction, mismanagement, & denials by Trump & his administration.

        The President has not accepted culpability & instead chooses to blame others for the storm's consequences rather than take action to help Puerto Rico rebuild.https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/national/a-year-after-hurricane-maria-a-puerto-rican-town-is-still-in-upheaval/?utm_term=.865b2a4a4f2a …

        On this anniversary my thoughts are with all those still recovering & displaced by the storm. I call on Trump to honor the victims, help still struggling evacuees, & establish proper preparations for future storms.

        I don't think some in power really consider our Puerto Rico brothers and sisters as U.S. citizens, resulting in inaction and actual increased deaths, very sadly. @SenBlumenthal

        Houston here. You obviously have never experienced a cat 4-5 hurricane. A fact: until logistics and coms are established, you are on your own. So you'd better be prepared or you're screwed. Simple stuff: the Navy can't deliver aid to an island if the ports/airports are closed.

        Check your facts Houston, this administration sat on it's hands. I don't care what the infrastructure was before the storm but there's only one reason the island is still without power and water in many places. Crazytown is running the show.

        The "staggering inaction and mismanagement" came from the democratic run government of Puerto Rico. Just have a discussion with someone that was there and saw what was going on before using this disaster as a Trump attack. Chat with @GeraldoRivera for a reality check!

        It doesn't? U.S. Coast Guard and Puerto Rico National Guard facilities are located in PR. Muñiz Air Base (the C-130 Fleet) and the U.S. Army's Ft. Buchanan. What does that have to do with the PR government leaving DELIVERED supplies to rot in their warehouses?
