President Trump is slated to visit Puerto Rico tomorrow, nearly two weeks after Hurricane Maria devastated the island. Puerto Rico’s 3.5 million residents still have nearly no electricity and dwindling supplies of food, fuel and fresh water. San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz has begged the federal government for more help, warning, "We are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy." For more, we speak with Juan González, Democracy Now! cohost, former staff writer at the New York Daily News and author. His new book is called "Reclaiming GothamBill de Blasio and the Movement to End America’s Tale of Two Cities."
