Today is Yom Hashoah, or #HolocaustRemembranceDay . My grandfather's mom & two older brothers (kids on left and right) were killed by the Nazis in Treblinka. My grandfather Nico (bottom kid) & other siblings survived. None of them are alive today to tell the story. But I will.

Alcaldesa @ClaudiaLopez , le ofrezco datos para su consumo que puedan informar sus declaraciones. Usando datos del 2019, los Venezolanos son 3% de la población pero son responsables por 2.3% de los crímenes violentos. En Bogotá la situación es similar.

It's a no brainer for countries, including the US, to welcome Ukrainian refugees. They will bring very much needed dynamism to the economy, by creating firms and creating jobs. Thanks @Boris_Sanchez for having me this morning.

I understand, the first instinct of listening to any #POTUS -not just Trump- calling for democracy in #Venezuel is a pleasant one, because... well, finally it is about time! But let's face it, this was not a speech for #Venezuela but for #Trump2020 campaign 1/4

On the #Caravan story. First, this is NOT illegal migration. Everyone know they are coming, they will reach the border and they will (potentially) ask for asylum. That's not illegal. Asking for asylum is a right they have. 1/5

On Israel and Palestine... I don’t have anything smart to say besides sharing I’m really sad seeing all the pain of regular people suffering and dying at the hand of extremists... and I’ll leave at that.

Growing sick and tired of so-call-progressives who are now the first line of defense of a cruel dictatorship that created the worst humanitarian crisis & the largest refugee flows this hemisphere has seen. I'm not sure what that is called, but progressiveness? Definitely not.
