Donald Trump Jr. and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agree on this 1 thing
No, that's not a pig that just whizzed by your window. Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are in full agreement when it comes to Robinhood's decision to stop allowing the trade of GameStop and other stocks.
Reddit users teamed up earlier this week to buy up GameStop stock, sinking hedge funds that profited from shorting the stock. Most of that trading happened on Robinhood. But on Thursday morning, the free trading app shut down GameStop purchases, as well as a number of other flailing companies such as Nokia and BlackBerry. The decision got immediate pushback from Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive congressmembers, with Ocasio-Cortez saying she'd support a House hearing on the matter.
