Now listen, we’re all for saving money around here. These are some seriously unprecedented times. We’ve spent the last 2+ years stuck neck-deep in a literal global pandemic that shut life as we know it down indefinitely. People lost their jobs, they lost their homes, they lost their families and security and savings accounts and safety nets.

No sooner than things started to even look as though they may be returning to some semblance of normal as far as the pandemic went, thanks to President Biden’s diligent hard work over the past year, we were suddenly tipped onto the precipice of the possibility of a literal third world war. Now we’re facing down massive inflation, skyrocketing fuel prices, and a sense of uncertainty that’s hard to bear.

But Stephen Miller was not one of the millions of Americans who were negatively, financially impacted by any of that.

Miller makes somewhere around $160,000 a year. He can afford many of the luxuries life has to offer. Yet, he’s apparently still on his mommy’s phone plan.

According to a new report from CNN, Miller is pushing back against a subpoena from the January 6th House Select Committee for his phone records, because his cell phone is on a family plan with his parents. Despite the fact that the committee is only requesting Stephen’s records specifically, the former Trump official is claiming that the subpoena presents a threat to his parents’ privacy.

CNN reports:

Former White House senior adviser Stephen Miller filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to block a subpoena for his phone records from the House Select Committee investigating January 6, becoming the latest among dozens of people who have gone to court to protect their information from Capitol Hill investigators. The committee has sought testimony from Miller as well, saying that he spread misinformation around the presidential election and pushed officials to change the results of the election.

According to the lawsuit seeking to block the phone records subpoena, Miller is on a T-Mobile family plan with his parents. While the committee is only seeking records related to Stephen Miller’s phone number, the suit says, Miller is concerned that T-Mobile ‘may respond to the Subpoena by producing data for other numbers assigned to the Family Plan Account.'”

Miller claims that the subpoena infringes on his privacy rights and is worded way too broadly. He states that it should not be allowed to go forward as the records in question contain personal communications with “medical professionals and family regarding his wife and new-born daughter.”

Says the guy who was all for brown kids being in cages.
