Jefferson City After Missouri Senate Democrats spent more than five hours filibustering a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors, the GOP-controlled Senate on Wednesday delayed a vote on the bill and adjourned for more than a week. The Senate will return later this month after a scheduled spring break. The decision to adjourn by party leaders caused confusion among rank and file Republicans. 'It was not anything that we discussed in our caucus meeting,' state Sen. Denny Hoskins, a Warrensburg Republican, told The Star after the decision to adjourn early.
