Inquiries into freezes should not be limited solely to Robinhood. This is a serious matter. Committee investigators should examine any retail.
Ocasio-Cortez said, “I’m feeling extraordinarily encouraged. And I think that the significance of President Biden’s executive orders communicates a lot.

But it also really signifies a good-faith openness and relationship to those activist communities that you had mentioned, these grassroots communities and organizations, on the ground workers, etc., scientists, saying, we are not going to be resistant to grassroots movements, but we are going to collaborate and work with grassroots movements all across the United States to make sure that we are creating as many jobs and as much justice as possible as we fight to save our planet.”
