WaPo: FEMA removes statistics about drinking water access and electricity in Puerto Rico from website
As of Wednesday, half of Puerto Ricans had access to drinking water and 5 percent of the island had electricity, according to statistics published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on its Web page documenting the federal response to Hurricane Maria.

By Thursday morning, both of those key metrics were no longer on the Web page.

FEMA spokesman William Booher noted that both measures are still being reported on a website maintained by the office of Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, www.status.pr. According to that website, which is in Spanish, 9.2 percent of the island now has power and 54.2 percent of residents have access to drinking water. Booher said that these measures are also shared in news conferences and media calls that happen twice a day, but he didn't elaborate on why they are no longer on the main FEMA page.

”Our mission is to support the governor and his response priorities through the unified command structure to help Puerto Ricans recover and return to routines. Information on the stats you are specifically looking for are readily available" on the website maintained by the governor's office, Booher said.

The statistics that are on the FEMA page, as of Thursday afternoon, include these: There are now 14,000 federal workers on the ground in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, up from 12,300 earlier in the week. All airports, federally maintained ports and post offices are open. More than 30 miles of roadway have been cleared, up from about 20 miles earlier in the week. About 65 percent of grocery stores have reopened, along with nearly all hospitals and dialysis centers. And 64 percent of wastewater treatment plants are working on generator power.

This is so goddamn pathetic. Putting pressure on others to shut up about a life or death situation just so his shit opinion can be more unchallenged. This self imposed dicksuck party Trump puts on is getting old.

If not, it's business as usual and we are fucked.

Disgusting, criminal trash is all this administration is.

Edit: we need to Detrumpify once this administration is over. Everyone that served in it needs to go to trial for crimes against humanity.

Probably the most interesting thing about all this is the same people obsessed with conspiracies and government cover ups would drive right on by something like this and claim, "Now you're just being paranoid."

Does anyone else feel that what's going on in PR is some of the most fucked up stuff from this entire administration and barely any attention is being payed to it?

Why isn't this headlining? Between this and the dozen other things they altered and removed from websites, it's clear this administration is built on lies and deceit. This is wrong. This is criminal. Someone do something for crying out loud.
