Last week, Lauren Boebert’s cynically-named “Pet and Livestock Protection Act” passed the House of Representatives on a narrow, largely party-line vote. Five Democrats broke ranks and voted for it (Gleusenkamp Perez – WA, Cuellar – TX, Gonzalez – TX, Costa – CA, and Gray – CA), while four Republicans broke ranks and voted against it (Fitzpatrick – PA, Buchanan – FL, Van Drew – NJ, and Fine – FL).
