Worth noting:

Despite an amendment to the Oregon Constitution designed to prevent it, 10 Republican senators staged a 6-week walkout. They returned on June 15 after Democrats and Republicans reached a compromise. The parties agreed to the ease provisions in HB 2002, the reproductive health care bill, and dropped a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to same-sex marriage, abortion, and gender-affirming care. Also dropped were more stringent controls on gun possession. As a result, in the remaining 10 days before sine die, several significant bills were passed as modified, including a state budget for the next two years.

Pisses me off that these regressive assholes are still able to manipulate the system enough to prevent progress.
