Facebook is uniting both sides of the aisle with its alleged anti-competitive behavior.

On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 48 state attorneys general brought antitrust suits against the social media giant. Both are targeting the platform's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp.

Reacting to the news, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said: "Good."
