The power of the @SEC_News Chairman & @SECEnfDirector cannot be overstated; that power has been used to protect entrenched #WallSt power for years. That must change. Gensler cannot appoint #WallSt apologists/lawyers/bagcarriers to top SEC positions or there will be consequences

Mooney sounds like he's reading a statement written by Robinhood defending PFOF and zero-commission trading. "Increased participation by retail is a positive development" - obviously. But you don't need commission-free trading for it, and you don't even need PFOF for 0-comm.
