In case you haven’t already caught the news about the stock market, and particularly, the stocks GME and AMC, there has been a lot of drama about it over the past couple of days.

To sum it up, A few weeks ago a Redditor on r/WallStreetBets noticed that a hedge fund had taken a massive amount of short trades against Gamestop. They convinced everyone on the thread to join forces and buy as much Gamestop stock as possible.

This made the price rise and the hedge fund’s short position started to lose billions. Their losses even surpassed the 13.1 billion that the hedge fund was worth.

Eventually, the hedge fund had to close their short positions and buy all the Gamestop stock back at much, much higher prices, sending the price even higher still. This is called a ‘short squeeze’. Now the hedge fund is declaring bankruptcy, and the Reddit thread is combing through other hedge funds with massive short exposure so they can short squeeze them into bankruptcy as well.

All of Wall Street is saying that the public joining together in this fashion should be illegal, but really they just lost at their own game to the masses.

So on Wednesday, multiple brokers decided that they were going to disallow the trading of those stock as well as a couple of others. Following suit, Robinhood and Webull decided to do the same.

Well, on Thursday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted,

”

This is unacceptable.

We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.

As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.”

Senator Ted Cruz happened to agree with what she said tweeting in response “Fully agree”…which caused her to lose her mind.

AOC went off on a tangent for him agreeing with her

“I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.

Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.

In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.”

“Oh, there’s anger? Now why would there be anger that Cruz amplified known lies about our election that fueled an insurrection that cost ppl’s lives? What does he think the logical response to his lies should be? A hug? Maybe there’s anger bc his actions deserve accountability.”

Oh, there’s anger?

This woman is so mind-blowingly dumb, that she equates challenging the electoral votes for a state and asking for an investigation is equivalent to trying to have someone murdered.

This is why we can’t get anything done in Washington.
