I agree, I'm glad to see some bipartisan support for holding big-finance to some accountability.

I'm not so glad with AOC's response to Ted Cruz which was literally: "Your help is not wanted on this. If you want to help you can resign."

So maybe not that bipartisan. I'm not a RH user either and have no standing in this. But I'm watching with interest and hope there's some action on this.

This is misrepresentation (of a tweet, you could have just quoted the entire thing!):

"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."

So to summarize: yes to working with Republicans, no to working with Ted Cruz, the most hated man in the senate.

You took AOC out of context, which is hard to do considering how short Tweets are.
