SWARTHMORE, Pa. (AP) — The dean of students at Swarthmore College has resigned, weeks after students protested the school's handling of sexual assault claims. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports H.

The United States and its Gulf allies say they have slapped new sanctions on the leadership of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hizballah militia, targeting its top two officials.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats, joined by three Republicans, pushed through a measure Wednesday intended to revive Obama-era internet rules that ensured equal treatment for all web traffic, though opposition in the House and the White House seems insurmountable.
