Update (1145ET): GME shares are ripping back higher after being halted numerous times (but remain down on the day)...

GME is halted down 56% this morning after topping $500 briefly in the pre-market...

So, is it over?

Speaker Pelosi spoke up as the shares crashed saying that "she understands the Biden admin is looking at Gamestop" and added that she will be "reviewing the Gamestop issue."
