On Tuesday, the Republican-led Florida Senate passed a bill that will bar children from attending drag shows even in cases where parents approve.If officials deem the performance to be, “lewd,” organizers and performers could be fined and even face criminal charges, including jail time.Democrats and LGBTQ advocates said the language is too vague. They are concerned it will make businesses fearful of hosting drag shows and even encourage cities in Florida to deny permits for Pride parades.The bill will appear next in the house for a final vote.9 times the Lib Dems demanded a recall of parliament (and didn’t get it)

LONDON — Few things in British politics are certain — but you can always count on the Liberal Democrats to demand a parliamentary recall.The centrist, anti-Brexit party is at it again this week, with a push for parliament to be recalled from its Easter recess in the wake of strike action from junior doctors.As the fourth-largest party in the House of Commons, attention can be hard to come by — meaning the eye-catching ask can help the party “cut through” in the crowded Westminster bubble with an easy-to-understand, headline-grabbing demand.Let POLITICO run you through all the times in recent years that the Lib Dems asked for — but didn’t manage to get — parliament’s early return from recess.Bollocks to Brexit (and summer recess)August 2019: Remember Brexit? The Lib Dems certainly do — they made stopping it their raison d’être in the early years after the U.K.’s vote to leave the EU.It was in that spirit that the party, then led by Jo Swinson, co-s...Iran in secret talks with China, Russia to acquire sanctioned missile fuel

China and Russia are in advanced secret talks with Iran to replenish the Islamic Republic’s supply of a key chemical compound used to propel ballistic missiles, diplomats familiar with the matter say, a move that would mark a clear violation of United Nations sanctions and possibly help Moscow replenish its depleted stock of rockets. Tehran has held concurrent negotiations with officials and government-controlled entities from both countries, including the state-owned Russian chemical maker FKP Anozit, to acquire large amounts of ammonium perchlorate, or AP, the main ingredient in solid propellants used to power missiles, said the diplomats, who requested anonymity in order to discuss confidential information.In Beijing, Iranian diplomat Sajjad Ahadzadeh, who serves as Tehran’s “technology counselor” in China and the broader region has led the talks to acquire AP, according to the diplomats familiar with the matter.

Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.”In the last few months, five different European leaders have traipsed to Beijing, trying to convince Chinese President Xi Jinping to see the world their way. But except for some contracts benefiting their firms, each has returned to Europe empty-handed.French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen were the latest to make the journey last week. Their goal was to convince Xi to help broker an end to the war in Ukraine or, as Macron put it, to “bring Russia to its senses.”The Chinese president demurred.Blaming NATO for the “crisis,” Xi was angry and annoyed when his European interlocutors brought up the war in Ukraine, saying he would talk to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy only when the “conditions and time was right.” And given that Moscow only recently reiterated that the co...Elisabeth Borne: Macron’s fall gal

PARIS — France’s Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has stayed in power longer than her only female predecessor — but her days as Emmanuel Macron’s chief lieutenant might be numbered. In the early 1990s, the premiership of Edith Cresson, the only other woman to have led a government in France, lasted just 10 months and ended in turmoil. April marks 10 months since Borne was appointed prime minister: According to a government adviser who spoke to Playbook Paris, the French president could not afford to fire Borne until now because the optics of another female prime minister beating Cresson’s unflattering record would be too damaging. It’s anyone’s guess now when Borne will be shown the door, or whether she will manage to save her job by weathering the political crisis, ahead of a crucial decision on the legality of a contentious pension reform expected Friday by the country’s Constitutional Council. After the Macron-Borne duo at the helm of the Fifth Rep...Latest news
