Sponsorship, cosponsorship, and progression are factual records from Congress.gov. “Became law” and each bill's stage are facts about the bill, not a measure of the member. A cosponsorship is called withdrawn only when the source reports it; a relationship that simply drops off the current list is shown as historical, with no claim about why.
