The Missouri Senate’s more collegial atmosphere this year, after pointed infighting in recent years, collapsed on Wednesday. The Republican majority broke Democratic filibusters to place a new abortion ban before voters and passed a bill repealing sick leave protections approved by voters in November.

The governor's plan to convince the Chiefs and Royals to stay in Missouri hit a wall of resistance in the Senate — and was ultimately abandoned after Republican lawmakers cut off debate and forced through measures to ban abortion and repeal paid sick leave.

TV, the Missouri Senate ended its annual session on Wednesday without taking action on a bill to fund the renovation of the Chiefs' home venue — and to build a new stadium for baseball's Royals. The House of Representatives passed a stadium funding bill earlier in the week.
