Oregon GOP senators' walkout hinders progress on gun safety and healthcare legislation.

Republican state senators in Oregon were absent from the chamber for the second day in a row, denying a quorum and delaying discussions on gun safety, reproductive health, and gender-affirming care legislation. The GOP leadership claimed that the lawmakers were protesting the lack of plain language in bill summaries. The Democratic Majority Leader called on the absent senators to "do your job" and referenced a constitutional amendment that disqualifies legislators from reelection if they have 10 unexcused floor absences.
