With headlines dominated by reports of the government shutdown, migrant caravans approaching the U.S. border and the volatile situation in Venezuela, some topics seem to have faded into the background.

But new hashtags on social media platforms like Twitter have seen some trending as people began to question the whereabouts of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The absence of the 85-year-old Supreme Court justice from the public eye has many, like conservative actor James Woods, wondering #WheresRuth?

Ginsburg’s last in-person appearance when she heard arguments at the Court was on December 6, after fracturing her ribs in a fall the previous month. Later in December, Ginsburg underwent surgery to remove two cancerous growths from her lung. As the new year arrived, the ailing justice then missed Supreme Court arguments for the first time in her 26 years on the Court, sending the left into a panic that she could soon retire, leaving President Trump with an opportunity to appoint his third Supreme Court justice.

Fox News added to the meltdown when a graphic aired last week incorrectly stated the justice had died.

‘Fox & Friends’ scrambles to apologize after showing graphic saying Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead — she’s not! https://t.co/LWypJzE921 pic.twitter.com/EeGqn0Pf28 — Conservative News (@BIZPACReview) January 21, 2019

Apologies were issued for the “technical error in the control room,” but one couldn’t ignore the fact that a graphic is even available as if on stand-by.

Naturally, the assurances that Ginsburg is recovering well and working from home have not been enough to assure liberals who are now demanding proof that RBG is alive and well, launching the hashtags #WheresRuth and #ProofOfLife.

How long will ‘journalists’ ignore our missing 85-year-old Supreme Court Justice? Reporting where Ruth Bader Ginsburg is, her current condition and expected plans is not an assault on decency–it is their job.#WheresRuth — Muzamil Zameer (@ZameerMuzamil) January 28, 2019

So the #WheresRuth thing is trending, a people believe she’s dead and Ik there was a “false” report of her death. Now I believe it’s possible she’s dead and they’re covering it up like some say, but answer to me this, why? — Christian (@realbearbaugh) January 28, 2019

There does seem to be a press blackout on RBG. I am beginning to think that I need to see some proof of life. #WheresRuth #WeekendAtRuthies — George Finley (@GeorgeFin) January 28, 2019

Some have even questioned if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delaying the State of the Union address by Trump could be related to keeping attention away from what could be Ginsburg’s empty seat at the event.

Nancy will to anything to avoid showing #ProofOfLife for RBG — keith jones (@keithojones1) January 25, 2019

That’s why they’re delaying the SOTU address. #ProofOfLife — Joe Rizzo (@JpRizzo) January 28, 2019

#WheresRuth – At this point, I would probably need to see @realDonaldTrump deliver the SOTU from her bedside, to convince me that this isn’t a Dem stalling tactic. — professional hater (@dr_mario_XXX) January 28, 2019

Twitter users flooded the platform with the burning question even as Ginsburg’s scheduled events have been canceled while she recuperates.

Where’s Ruth? I mean. When FLOTUS Melania wasn’t seen for a few days, the press was speculating and calling her a liar about her own medical care! #TellUsTheTruth #WheresRuth — Super Elite MAGA Brat (@ChiefFabulous) January 22, 2019

There’s legitimately people on Twitter now using the #ProofOfLife hashtag saying that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is really dead and the Democrats are covering up. ….. I have no words. — Loki (@GameUntilYouDie) January 22, 2019

I think this one is better tbh. More finished. Not mine so don’t give me credit for this masterpiece ? pic.twitter.com/FEw4u2Wpui — Gustavo (@GMedina2000) January 28, 2019

@CapitolPolice @FBI @DHSgov We need a welfare check on Ruth Bader Ginsburg & proof of life. Is she REALLY coherent & cognizant? We are being told she is doing her bench duties from home, yet other reports say she is in a medically induced coma or dead. PLEASE follow up on this! — ??WWG1WGA??

?If she were a #Conservative SC Justice the #FakeNews media would be camped out in front of her home waiting for #ProofOfLife BUT since she’s a liberal we’re supposed to just take the #DeepState‘s word for it? No! #RGBWhereYouBe #WheresRuth #WheresRBG #wheresruthbaderginsburg — Lucia ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (@ClassicLucia) January 28, 2019
