We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.
This is who we are now.

RAJU: You said Monday Israel was determined to act in their own defense with or without US support. You also said if Israel fired upon Iran, they would retaliate against US. But Trump said it was him who forced Israel's hand. So why are you & POTUS not on the same page?

I am worried that this is both presented and enjoyed by too many as some sort of a ⦠reality show. People are literally dying. The war is expanding without the objectives being clearly defined. We can pretend that military capabilities are limitless⦠on tv shows they certainly are.

LIEU: Did Liam Ramos commit a crime?
NOEM: He did not commit a crime. His father abandoned him
LIEU: I believe you're not telling the truth. School officials said there were people saying they could take care of Liam, and a federal judge rejected your claims
LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime?
NOEM: She did not. She's with her family
LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release
