Good morning Her Campus! With a break-neck news cycle, there is no possible way for you to stay on top of every story that comes across your feeds — we’re all only human, after all.
But, life comes at you fast. So grab a cup of coffee and settle in for this quick and dirty guide to stories you might’ve been sleeping on (like, literally. It’s early.)
Hillary Clinton SLAMMED President Trump’s UN Speech
ICYMI, President Trump’s speech to the UN, in which he nicknamed Kim Jong Un “rocket man,” was, um, interesting — and Hillary Clinton was among those who weren’t fans.
“I thought it was very dark, dangerous, not the kind of message that the leader of the greatest nation in the world should be delivering,” she told Stephen Colbert during her appearance on The Late Show. Instead, she explained what she thought he should have said — as if we needed one more reason to wish things turned out a little differently last November.

Republicans Are Threatening to Let Obamacare Fall Into “Chaos” If It’s Not Repealed, So That’s Great
After multiple failed attempts to pass new healthcare bills and replace Obamacare, GOP legislators are now just threatening to let health insurance markets fall into “chaos,” which would mean rising premiums and, eventually, the collapse of Obamacare, BuzzFeed News reports. While many Senate Republicans have been working on a bipartisan effort with Democrats to stabilize insurance markets for the next year or two, Senate Health Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander said on Tuesday that those talks were ending — which is basically in line with Trump’s campaign promise to let Obamacare fail if it couldn’t be replaced.

Instagram Has a New Feature That Allows You to See Who Follows You & It’s About Time
Instagram has released an update (only on Androids, for now) that allows users to view whether someone is following them when looking at their page — FINALLY! (It’s not like we’ve been asking for this for ages or anything.) Now if they could just give up on the so-called “algorithm” that ensures everyone sees my pictures three days later, that would be great.
