12/05/2019 Tweet - "Lights remain off. Jobs never returned. And President Trump continues to stand in the way of Puerto Rico by illegally withholding critical recovery aid. It's un-American. And this administration's damage must be stopped."
12/05/2019 Tweet - "Since its very first days, the Trump administration has treated Puerto Rico with disregard and contempt -- actively looking to stop their recovery after an unprecedented hurricane close to leveled the island."
09/20/2019 Tweet - "Two years after #HurricaneMaria, there are still 30,000 houses in Puerto Rico covered with blue tarps. Two years, and Americans are STILL living in roofless homes and experiencing power outages. Puerto Rico needs justice. #2añoshuracanmaria"
