It's been a week since Election Night, when we were hit by a flood of "affordability" posts on X by Democrats celebrating the blue wave. Sen. Ron Wyden posted simply, "Subpoenas." Sen. Ed Markey posted, "They are going to need to plant new forests for all the subpoenas we'll be printing." Congresswoman Analilia Mejia posted, "We’re going to toss out subpoenas like Mardi Gras beads." So much for cheaper groceries.
Rep. Sam Liccardo managed to get a giggle out of a reporter for the Bay Area NBC affiliate by telling him that it's a good thing that Stephen Miller will be getting a bigger office as White House chief of staff, because he'll need the room for all of the subpoenas the Democrats are going to send his way.
It’s good that Stephen Miller is getting a bigger office because he’s going to need it for all the subpoenas we’re going to send him. https://t.co/jiulHo8WcD

@RepLiccardo You just keep digging yourself into holes, actual lawyers have already warned you.

@RepLiccardo You can't actually subpoena anyone in the POTUS's office. It's amazing that you idiots don't know this. It's called executive privilege.

@RepLiccardo Based on what Sam?! You don’t agree with the policies. You have yet to articulate one reason to investigate Steve Miller He’s twice the man you are with 10X the knowledge of the Constitution.

@RepLiccardo Oh another tough guy threatening people. How ridiculous you all are

@RepLiccardo How large a trash can will he need?

@RepLiccardo Oh I cant wait to watch YOU challenge Stephen Miller. Hell eat your lunch and laugh doing it. Youre fucking with the wrong guy. Good luck. Lol

@RepLiccardo Subpoenas for what? Be specific, Sammy. This is going to backfire on you commie assholes.

@RepLiccardo You’re making a very large mistake, but please start printing and serving.

@RepLiccardo This is why Dems will be booted again in 2 years.

@RepLiccardo You're just proving that he's the adult in the room.

@RepLiccardo You are a fucking clown on a witch hunt. Fuck you and dems like you who view the office you occupy as the conduit to sabotage our country over your personal vendettas. Go fuck yourself, Sam.

@RepLiccardo Waste of paper. You know you have nothing. Political theater, it’ll shut down faster than an off-Broadway play.

@RepLiccardo What crimes has he committed or are you fishing for crimes?

@RepLiccardo Democrats have turned into the bunch of little bitches party. Doing great on affordability. 😂

@RepLiccardo You are going to learn that he will have no obligation to respond. Dems may want to learn a little about the constitution before popping off and making threats. When are we getting a concrete plan on lower prices?

@RepLiccardo Is there some evidence of wrongdoing?

@RepLiccardo For what? Enforcing existing laws on immigration that you clowns passed?

@RepLiccardo How does that help grocery bills and utility costs? Weird, you guys campaigned on those things, and now it’s all about your retribution crusade, instead. 🤔

@RepLiccardo Who is this little fascist?

@RepLiccardo Liccardo is the failed mayor who blamed Trump when left-wing rioters attacked Trump supporters at a rally in his San Jose. He’s worse than a partisan hack; he is an apologist for mob violence. No, I haven’t forgotten, and won’t forget, as I had to dodge the mob he wouldn’t stop.

@RepLiccardo Hey, are you reading any of these replies? Doesn’t look like you are doing what your voters asked you to do. Tick tock Sam. You’ll be replaced soon enough.
— oneWorldReply (@oneworldreply) November 10, 2026
@RepLiccardo So no plans other than obstruction and retribution?
— BluJ32 (@RHMF32) November 10, 2026
@RepLiccardo I’m sure he’s petrified. 🙄

Send all the subpoenas you want. Good luck getting around executive privilege.
