“It’s crucial we stand up for animals both as individuals and as a society. That means strengthening important regulations under the Animal Welfare Act to meet this goal,” Rep.

An investigation by Wells Fargo proved fruitless, Webb wrote on Friday to the FEC. The fraud case has now been closed by the bank, Webb said.
Google s PAC is among dozens of political committees that together lost at least $2.7 million to thieves during the 2020 election, an Insider analysis of federal campaign-finance records showed.
