Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is urging House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to call on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to immediately retract and apologize for a tweet in which she falsely said to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) “you almost had me murdered” and suggested he was “trying to get me killed.”
“It has come to my attention that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a tweet a few hours ago in which she accused Senator Ted Cruz, in essence, of attempted murder,” Rep. Roy wrote to Pelosi on Thursday.

Robinhood said in a later post that starting Friday, it planned to allow limited buys of these securities.
