“I do not consent to the subpoena” is the reason we have the entire concept of a subpoena.
11 House Republicans send letters to 13 telecom companies vowing to "pursue all legal remedies" if they comply with the Jan. 6 committee's records request. "Please be advised that the undersigned do not consent to the release of confidential call records or data," it concludes.

Put yourself in, say 1992 or even 2012. Imagine a Harvard-educated member of Congress casually labeling opponents as pedophiles. We’ve gone insane.
The White House, House Dems, & usual pedo grifters are so out of touch with the American people that rather than present ANY PLAN or urgency to address the nationwide baby formula crisis, they double down on sending pallets of formula to the southern border. Joe Biden has NO PLAN.

@dcherring I'm conservative. I got a notable part of my college education reading National Review in the library. I wrote for The Daily Caller for years. I'll never vote GOP again until the party purges every vestige of Trumpism and its disgusting racism, demagoguery and love of autocracy.
