Facebook/Donald Trump President Trump has claimed Mark Zuckerberg told him he was "number one on Facebook" when the two "had dinner the other day." Trump dialled into conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh's eponymous radio show on Monday, where he discussed his social media reach, as well as the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who he described as "a terrorist." Zuckerberg and Trump have met on multiple occasions previously, both publicly and privately. The Facebook CEO refused to...

“This is state terrorism,” Zarif said of the killing of Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force.

Daniel R. DePetris Security, Middle East The all-stick, no-carrot approach remains entrenched U.S. strategy. Last night should have served as a wake-up call that bankrupting the Iranian economy, moving thousands of additional troops into the Persian Gulf, and settling on a list of absurd demands is a loser. Iran’s ballistic missile attack on two U.S. military bases in Iraq was a double-edged sword. The strike was both provocative and calculated—provocative because the missile barrage was a...

Make Europe Relevant Again Authored by Sigmar Gabriel via Project Syndicate, It is increasingly clear that the European Union was not built to be a global actor. The EU is a strictly European idea, designed to bring peace and prosperity to a region ravaged by centuries of incessant war.

It seems that barely a day goes by without some new impeachment updates, and the last 48 hours have been absolutely no exception — with articles officially being presented to the Senate, and Giuliani associate Lev Parnas appearing on the scene to make some damning new implications about Trump.

A light holiday schedule led to a quiet week atop the Associated Press men's college basketball poll. Gonzaga remained at No. 1 for a second straight week, receiving 63 first-place votes from a 65-member panel in the poll released Monday. No. 2 Duke and No. 3 Kansas each had one first-place vote, with Oregon and Ohio State rounding out the top five.

Maryland men’s basketball has so much potential this year. There’s an easy solution to Maryland basketball’s inconsistent offense. Maryland men’s basketball is one change away from becoming one of the best teams, and possibly the best team, in college hoops. The nation’s 11th-best defense is paired with just the No. 20 offense, a ranking that understates how gruesome the team can look trying to score. The fix to this problem is apparent.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had sought to give a speech condemning the U.S. assassination of Qassem Suleimani.

Iranian leaders vowed revenge. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has told 4,500 sailors and Marines they might be called on to support a military operation in the Middle East. The United States and Iran...

We should all worry about war with Iran, but we should also worry about how it may be stopped. If our military leaders tell their commander in chief they will not follow his order to strike Iran or elsewhere, as indeed we might hope they will, we will have had a total change in our long tradition of military subservience to civilian leadership.

Late Thursday, as news unfolded about President Donald Trump’s order to kill top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani—a move many Democrats have warned amounts to a reckless act of war—Republicans and war hawks began celebrating.

Breaking: The Trump Administration has committed some crimes, probably! According to a new report from the Government Accountability Office, the White House budget office broke the law at Trump’s direction after freezing $400 million in military spending to Ukraine last year.
