Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? If that question is starting to make you feel nostalgic, there’s a pretty good reason why—the first Twilight movie hit theaters 10 years ago. And yes, you are getting old.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the year your biggest celebrity crushes became sexy teenage monsters, over 450 movie theaters in the United States will be holding four screenings of Twilight at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 21, and Tuesday, October 23. I don’t know about you, but my pre-teen self is already getting so hype.

According to MovieWeb, the screenings will also include an introduction by director Catherine Hardwicke and a sneak peek of the special feature, "Twilight Tour...10 Years Later," from the upcoming release of a boxed sex of all five Twilight saga movies. So yeah, it looks like the universe is preparing you to relive your greatest high school vampire/werewolf fantasies.

Although it doesn’t feel like much time has passed since the Twilight phenomenon was sweeping the nation, a lot has changed since that magical time in our lives. Bella Swan’s house in Forks, Washington (which is actually in St. Helens, Oregon) has recently gone on sale for $349,000, TeenVoguereports. And earlier this year, Kristen Stewart reunited with Mackenzie Foy, who played Bella and Edward’s daughter Renesmee, at a Chanel party. According to Elle, the young actress is now 17-years-old. (I knew children of vampires grew up unusually fast, but this is ridiculous.)

Only a few months until we get to transform back into the Twihards we truly are by the light of the full moon.

All you mystery lovers better hold on tight, aVeronica Mars revival may be coming to Hulu. Better yet, Kristen Bell will still be the face of the series and creator Rob Thomas is also in on the revival. Yay!

According to Entertainment Weekly, "several elements of the deal are not yet closed but a revival has been quietly in the works for months between studio Warner Bros. and Hulu." Despite Bell's other endeavors, such as The Good Place, she is committed to the series.

That's all we know for now, though, unfortunately. I wish we could figure out how the series will play out, whether it will be an all new plot or a continuation of the old, but we have nothing aside from those couple of facts. I can't help but be excited though, because I'm sure it will be good regardless. 

To refresh your memory, Veronica Mars was centered on a teenager named Veronica, aka Kristen Bell, who is a sleuth turned private investigator working for her father. I would imagine the plot would be the same, but only time will tell. I can't wait to see what happens with this plan and hopefully we will know much sooner rather than later. 

Until then, you can catch me re-watching the original series in its entirety.

We all know how hard it can be to get over an ex, but it can be even worse if you have to see them every day after the split. Whether you work together, go to school together or even just happen to be close family friends, it can be hard to ignore the fact your ex is always there. If you’re not sure how to get over your former prince charming, here’s a few things you can do to get them out of mind even if they’re not necessarily out of sight.

Keep yourself busy

One of the best ways to get over any ex is to distract yourself by doing things you love to do. Whether it’s getting more involved in school organizations or learning a new hobby, investing your time into other interests is not only an effective distraction, but it can also be extremely productive. When you delve into something you really love, you’ll find that it no longer becomes a distraction, but a newfound happiness. By putting your happiness into an activity rather than a person, you’ll be able to ensure you’re in control of your emotions.

Shaylee Butler, a senior at the University of Arkansas, couldn’t agree more. “I’ve found that working out was a great outlet for me,” she shares. “Focusing my attention on myself rather than other people not only helped me mentally, but also physically.” Investing your time into things that can better you as a person is a healthy way to get your mind of the pain that inevitably comes with any breakup.

Keep it short and simple

Whether you ended on bad terms or good terms, you always want to keep the communication to a minimum. It’s always good to stay polite and have a little small talk here and there, but for your own sake, it’s better to keep it at just that. You never want to show your anger or resentment by ignoring them or simply being rude to them. It’s important to be the mature one and accept that things simply didn’t work out. On the other hand, you don’t want to keep your conversations deep and lengthy because it could lead to lingering feelings. After any breakup, it’s nearly impossible to become best friends right after. You always want to make sure to wait until the feelings are gone to become friends.

Doan Nguyen, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina, says that keeping it short and simple is the way to go. “I’ve found that just a simple greeting is the best way to get over them,” she says. “By sticking to simple greetings and surface level small talk, we can still be civil without leading on any lingering feelings.” We agree that continuing conversations as if you are still dating is dangerous territory!

Don’t look for them

We all know the feeling of looking for your crush in a crowded room. However, when it comes to looking for a ex in a crowded room, all it does it make things worse. Most of the time you’ll just find yourself overthinking about every single move that they make. The less you see them, the easier it’ll be to get your mind off of them. In situations where they’re always in the same place as you, it’s a good idea just to keep your eyes from straying in their direction.

Elyza Bailey, a junior at the University of Texas at Austin, says that this can be a big help. “I’ve realized that if I’m constantly worrying about what they’re doing, I’ll never get over it,” she says. “Even when you’re in the same place as your ex every day, you don’t always have to see them.” Now that’s what we call strength.

Surround yourself with people who care about you

Whenever you’re going through a rough patch, the people you surround yourself with is really important. Especially when you’re faced with seeing an ex every single day, the best way to get over them is to surround yourself with people who love and care about you. Whether it be friends or family, being around people who make you happy is a great way to keep your mind off of a former relationship.

Haley Acord, a senior at the University of Texas at Arlington, agrees this is super important. “It’s amazing how much just having your friends around you to laugh with can help in situations like these,” she explains. “Even when I was in the same room as my ex, I was so busy laughing with my friends that I didn’t even notice him there.” Well, that’s certainly the goal!

Focus on yourself

When it comes down to it, the only way to really get over your ex in a healthy way is to take the time to focus on yourself. With all the time you spent in a relationship, we know how hard it can be to be on your own. However, the best part about a break up is the fact that you’ll come out of it so much stronger. It’s important to remember you’ll never truly be alone. You’ll always have friends and family to lean on while you learn to grow more and more as an independent person.

Season three of Stranger Things may have been delayed until 2019, but as the cast and showrunners begin to drop hints about what to expect, the anticipation is only building. 

Most recently, Millie Bobby Brown teased details about the continued evolution of her character Eleven's ~look.~ In season two, Eleven went from wearing whatever nondescript clothes Hopper (David Harbour) could find after taking her in, to jet black eye makeup and punk ensembles. As Eleven put it, she looked "bitchin'."

As for the future, viewers can look forward to more fashion transformations. "Eleven's style has escalated," Brown told E! News. This makes sense, too, seeing as how the Stranger Things crew will be entering high school. 

Even more exciting is what to expect with Eleven and her Mike, otherwise known by their 'ship name, "Meleven."

"It's the summer of love, which means definitely more romance between our lovely couple ‘Meleven," Brown said. The two left off kissing at a school dance at the end of the second season. 

But there's no Hawkins without a little horror. "Obviously we have to add some Stranger Things mystery into it and it definitely gets very deep and scary," Brown said. 

Harbour also spoke to E! News, revealing what little details he could. "This season they just came up with this arc and this idea that's so original and so new and so fun," he said. "What I can tell you is this, like you see season one you see season two, and we're playing with the same alphabet of these '80s epics, but we're kinda throwing out the model again and sort of expanding these characters in ways that you wouldn't expect them to go in, so that's what I love about it, is that you have these characters in this show that is clearly working and yet the Duffers are continuously interested in exploring the limits and taking risks and we take a lot of risks this season so there's a lot of new relationships that get set-up and a lot of new devices and a lot of new cinematic influences."

With new relationships, comes new characters. Jake Busey and Cary Elwes have reportedly joined the cast, along with Maya Hawke, who will play Robin, Steve's (Joe Kerry) co-worker at the mall.

Hopefully Steve's new job doesn't take away from his duties as a babysitter. 

President Donald Trump is no stranger to spelling mistakes. From "covfefe" to "unpresidented," he's made a number of gaffes, namely on Twitter. While most people have attributed these continual mistakes to Trump's seemingly poor writing skills, others dismiss them as typos. Some have even hypothesized that he intentionally misspells words. Chris Evans has his own idea, though — and it definitely makes sense. 

He shared his theory after Trump sent a tweet on Monday with — yep, you guessed it — a spelling error. "Disgraced and discredited Bob Mueller and his whole group of Angry Democrat Thugs spent over 30 hours with the White House Councel," Trump wrote. The randomly capitalized words aside, he obviously misspelled "counsel."

On the bright side, "councel" is slightly closer to being correct than "council," which Trump tweeted back in March.

Evans quoted the tweet, thus presenting his take on #spellgate. "I was trying to comprehend how in the world a man, even as moronic as you, can misspell a word he probably reads fifty times a day," Evans wrote. "But then it dawned on me, you probably only HEAR the word."

He continued, "You don't read shit. And we all know it." 

Seeing as how Trump reportedly likes his intelligence briefings filled with pictures, Evans' theory certainly seems to check out. Plus, he's Captain America — our real president.

At a rally in West Virginia on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump criticized ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro's recent announcement that the network would not be televising the national anthem ceremonies before NFL games on Monday nights this season. 

"You’re proud of our country, you’re proud of our history, and unlike the NFL, you always honor and cherish our great American flag," Trump told the crowd of supporters. "It was just announced by ESPN that rather than defending our anthem, our beautiful, beautiful national anthem and defending our flag, they’ve decided that they just won’t broadcast when they play the national anthem. We don’t like that."

ESPN excluding the anthem on Monday nights isn't anything new, though. "We generally have not broadcasted the anthem and I don’t think that will change this year. Our plan going into this year is to not broadcast the anthem," Pitaro said. "Again that could change. It’s unpredictable what could happen in the world but as of now, we’re not. We have communicated that back to the NFL. They have not asked but as [a] courtesy and good partners we have let them know what our plans are."

Trump's comments come as the NFL, football fans, players, and others continue to debate kneeling during the national anthem.

"So while the players are kneeling, some of them, not all of them at all, you’re all proudly standing for our national anthem," Trump told everyone at the rally. 

The president later doubled down on his criticism of ESPN in a campaign email — with "SPINELESS decision" as the subject line — to his supporters. "Just after we heard a sitting governor trash America, ESPN has now decided it will no longer play the National Anthem before Monday Night Football," the email read. "If 'America' is too offensive for anyone in our country, then what are they doing in America?"

He then asked for signatures on a petition he started, which is attempting to persuade the network into airing the anthem. "I'm calling on you to join me in denouncing this SPINELESS surrender to the politically correct liberal mob," the email continued. 

However, ESPN isn't the only network that's planning to not air the national anthem live this season. CBS Sports will take a similar approach, Fox Sports will only show the anthem during special broadcasts (such as Veterans Day), and NBC Sports is undecided. This is typically what these networks have done in past years, though. 

After weeks of searching, twenty-year-old Mollie Tibbetts' body was found by police on Tuesday. Authorities have since arrested Christhian Bahena Rivera for first degree murder. It’s believed that Rivera has lived in Poweshiek County for more than four years as an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. Now, Rivera’s immigration status has become a topic of debate on social media and in the news cycle. 

The coverage of the murder of the Iowa College student and Rivera's immigration status has mainly caused conservatives to voice their disdain for immigration. USA Today reported that Trump called the US' immigration policy “a disgrace” and asked at a rally on Tuesday about whether or not his supporters had heard about the “illegal alien” from Mexico. “You saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman,” Trump said. “Should have never happened.” 

Prominent conservative voice Candace Owens took to twitter to write, “Leftists boycotted, screamed, and cried when illegal immigrants were temporarily separated from their parents. What will they do for Mollie Tibbetts? What did they do for Kate Steinle? They will NEVER see their parents again.” 

Some of Tibbetts' family have taken to their own social media to ask people to stop using Rivera as an excuse to group together immigrants as a whole. 

“Please remember, evil comes in EVERY color,” Tibbetts' aunt Billie Jo Calderwood wrote Tuesday night on Facebook. “Our family has been blessed to be surrounded by love, friendship and support throughout this entire ordeal by friends from all different nations and races. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”

A girl named Sam Lucas, who claims to be Tibbetts' second cousin, also responded. “hey i;m a member of mollie’s family and we are not so fucking small-minded that we generalize a whole population based on some bad individuals," she tweeted. "now stop being a fucking snake and using my cousins death as political propaganda. take her name out of your mouth.”

I think that we can all learn from this that it is incredibly important to remember that we can’t characterize an entire group of people because of one person’s actions.

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.)

Michael Cohen Subpoenaed In NY's Trump Foundation Investigation

Just a day after President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to tax fraud and other charges, he was served with a subpoena by investigators for the state of New York as part of their probe into the Trump Foundation. Officials are trying to determine whether Trump or his charity violated state law or lied about their tax liability. The president allegedly "illegally tapped his Trump Foundation to settle legal disputes, help his campaign for president and pay for personal and business expenses, which included spending $10,000 on a 6-foot (1.8-meter) portrait of himself," The Associated Press reported. The suit against him is seeking $2.8 million in restitution, among other penalties. 

The subpoena was issued to Cohen because he has "information of interest to both state and federal prosecutors," his attorney said on CNN's Cuomo Prime Time. 

If New York's tax department finds evidence of criminal activity, state Attorney General Barbara Underwood could take over the case and pursue criminal charges — along with the release of Trump's tax returns, the AP reported. Trump wouldn't be able to pardon anyone charged with a state crime related to the investigation, either. 

Dems Want To Halt Brett Kavanaugh's Nomination Because Of The Cohen News

Senate Democrats have been vocal about their disdain for Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and after Cohen pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts on Tuesday, they're really pushing back. First, on the Senate floor, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "In my view, the Senate Judiciary Committee should immediately pause the consideration of the Kavanaugh nomination."

Then, on Wednesday, Senator Mazie Hirono (Dem-Hawaii) announced that she was canceling her scheduled meeting with Kavanaugh because of Trump being implicated in a hush money scheme with Cohen, The Hill reported. "I am canceling, I will be canceling, my appointment with Judge Kavanaugh because I choose not to extend a courtesy to this president who is an un-indicted co-conspirator ... of meeting with his nominee," she said when speaking to reporters. Hirono added that Kavanaugh is simply "a nominee who is being nominated because the president expects him to protect [Trump]."

Senator Richard Blumenthal (Dem-Connecticut) was also outspoken about even considering Kavanaugh. "The President of the United States has been implicated in a criminal plot to violate campaign finance laws & influence the outcome of an election. Under no circumstances should we be considering his nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in just one week,"he tweeted. "Kavanaugh hearing must be immediately postponed so Judiciary Committee can continue vital investigation of Trump campaign criminality & obstruction of justice."

Other prominent Democratic senators, such as Cory Booker, issued similar calls for a delay in the nomination of Kavanaugh. Before Cohen pleaded guilty, Dems had been primarily concerned with the lack of transparency from his time as the staff secretary in the George W. Bush administration, CNN reported. 

Republicans aren't buying any of it, though. This was made clear after Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley issued a statement through a spokesperson: "Justice Breyer's confirmation occurred when President Clinton's records had been subpoenaed by a grand jury. Obviously, we are nowhere close to that situation today. Calls to delay the hearing are just the latest tactic from opponents who decided to vote 'no' weeks ago and are frantically looking for anything that sticks. The hearing will begin as planned on September 4." 

Plus, Senate Republicans don't need the support of the Democrats. They can confirm Kavanaugh without a single Dem vote. 

The EPA's Report About Its Own Climate Plan Showed That Thousands Could Die

On Tuesday, the Trump administration released details about the Environmental Protection Agency's upcoming climate plan, which will replace the one that President Obama implemented. A major talking point for Trump during his campaign was his promise to roll back the Clean Power Plan, and he began doing so just two months after taking office when he signed an executive order to demolish emissions rules for power plants, methane leak limits, and more policies that Obama implemented to curb climate change. There's also, of course, Trump's withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate accord. 

However, Trump can't just get rid of the CPP — he's still required by law to regulate carbon dioxide — so the EPA's new plan, dubbed the Affordable Clean Energy proposal, will serve as a regulator on greenhouse gas limitations. It may come at a cost, though. The administration's own analysis revealed that the plan "could lead to as many as 1,400 premature deaths per annual by 2030, up to 15,000 new cases of upper respiratory problems, a rise in bronchitis, and tens of thousands of missed school days,"The New York Times reported. The new rules would also reverse all of the expected health gains — prevention of deaths, and reduction of the number of missed school days — from Obama's Clean Power Plan. 

For the most part, the Affordable Clean Energy proposal prioritizes the coal industry. "We love clean, beautiful West Virginia coal," Trump said at a West Virginia rally on Tuesday. "And you know, that’s indestructible stuff. In times of war, in times of conflict, you can blow up those windmills, they fall down real quick. You can blow up pipelines, they go like this," he said as he made a hand gesture. "You can do a lot of things to those solar panels, but you know what you can’t hurt? Coal." 

What to look for...

Twilight and Veronica Mars on a screen near you, since both are coming back in different ways. 

Arsenic is a poison. Black widow spiders definitely poisonous. But who knew that coconut oil is also poisonous? I sure didn’t. According to adjunct professor of epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Karin Michels, the go-to health food for millennials is “pure poison.” 

In Michels lecture titled “Coconut Oil and Other Nutritional Errors” at the University of Freiburg in Germany, she said consuming coconut oil poses a major health risk. According to Business Insider, she even called it “one of the worst foods you can eat” and said it was “pure poison” because of its saturated fat content.  

She went on to say that no study proves the health benefits of coconut oil, and that it increases risk of heart issues. The video of the lecture, which was posted on YouTube in July, has since amassed close to one million views and has caused a major debate online.

Coconut oil has been a controversial debate for years now. The tropical oil has become a staple for wellness trends like keto and Whole30. It’s claimed to be a “miracle food” that can help you to lose weight and even lower your cholesterol. According to USA Today, though, the American Heart Association advised against the use of coconut oil in 2017 because the saturated fat can contribute to heart disease. The American Heart Association data reports that 80 percent of the fat in coconut oil is saturated. As USA Today reports is way beyond the amount of saturated fat in butter, which is 63 percent. So while not exactly “poisonous”, it still can cause a ton of damage to your body. Michels says in her lecture that the saturated fats in coconut oil can clog our coronary arteries. 

According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, they found that those who regularly ate products high in saturated fats like cheese and whole milk were at no higher risk of a heart attack, stroke or other illnesses than those who don’t consume those type of products. 

Is it time for us to close the lid on the coconut oil craze? Possibly, but more research really needs to be done before we all willingly give up our go-to coconut oil jars. It’s all about moderation, I guess. 

Since the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, activists and survivor David Hogg has become a well-known figure and major advocate for gun reform. So it seems only fitting that the 18 year-old is vying for a seat in Congress when he turns 25. 

In a New York Magazine interview, Hogg told the publication that he plans to run for Congress as soon as he is eligible (though he on-the-record thinks age limits are some real BS.) 

“I think I’ve come to that conclusion,” he said. “I want to be at least part of the change in Congress.”

After the shooting that left 17 dead in a matter of 6 minutes, Hogg became an unofficial spokesman for his classmate, where he made multiple television appearances days after. Hogg and fellow activist Emma González  became leading voices in the gun reform movement, to which they’ve received harsh criticism and even death threats. 

The Parkland students launched “March For Our Lives” Washington DC rally in March that sparked nationwide anti-gun violence protests. They then launched a nationwide voter registration summer bus tour.

According to The Daily Dot, Hogg, who graduated in the Spring, plans to take a gap year in order to focus on the midterm elections. Hogg told New York Magazine, it is one part in his seven-year plan. He also plans to go to college in the fall of 2019, and then take time off for the 2020 presidential campaigns. 

I’m definitely interested to see how his political platform shapes up in the next few years. 

The Justice Department announced on Tuesday that Jakiw Palij, a 95 year old former Nazi concentration camp guard, has been deported to Germany. 

Palij worked as guard at the Tranwniki Labor Camp in then German-occupied Poland, according to CNN. Tranwniki is one of the largest mass killings site of the Holocaust. The ex - Nazi immigrated to the US in 1949 and became a citizen in 1957. According to the White House, he had lied to US immigration about his involvement in World War II to gain citizenship. For most of the post-war years, he ended up living in Queens, New York. 

In 2001, Palij reportedly confessed to the Justice Department that he worked at the concentration camp. Two years later, his U.S. citizenship was taken away and a judge order for him to be deported. 

“By helping to prevent the escape of these prisoners during his service at Trawniki, Palij played an indispensable role in ensuring that they later met their tragic fate at the hands of the Nazis,” the Justice Department’s statement says.

That was more than a decade ago. For years, he lived in the US before being sent back to Germany this week. CNN reports that Palij said he was coerced into serving as a Nazi guard because his family was threatened. The government still said that lying about his involvement was grounds for removal. But until now, no European countries wanted to take him. 

“The United States will never be a safe haven for those who have participated in atrocities, war crimes, and human rights abuses,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a statement on Tuesday. “Jakiw Palij lied about his Nazi past to immigrate to this country and then fraudulently become an American citizen. He had no right to citizenship or to even be in this country.”

There was a major diplomatic struggle over which country would take responsibility for Palij’s actions. Since no one claimed him, Palij was allowed to remain in the U.S for so long. According to NPR, both Poland and Ukraine would not take Palij because they thought it was Germany’s responsibility. Palij was born in a part of Poland that used to be Ukraine. Germany refused to take him before as his alleged crimes happened on foreign soil. 

CNN reports that Germany is “unlikely” to be prosecuted because of not enough evidence. 

My three best friends from high school all have tattoos, and so far I’m the only one who hasn’t gotten one yet. It’s going to be pretty hard to justify not having one after they see the matching ones Selena Gomez got with her three best friends over the weekend.

Selena documented the process in a series of Instagram posts from inside the tattoo parlor. “#4,” she captioned “Part 2” of the series, “because these women have stayed by my side for 7 years.”

The squad donning the matching numerals is composed of Selena, Ashley Cook, Courtney Barry (whose 26^thbirthday celebration prompted the tattoos), and Raquelle Stevens, who according to Selena “had an actual panic attack.” (I don’t blame Raquelle—I’d be terrified!)

Selena continued the heartfelt captions with a birthday tribute to Courtney. “The way you handle life's most confusing moments is indescribable and graceful.”

As made apparent by her social media posts, Selena has been devoting this past summer to spending time with her lady friends and diving into new creative pursuits. She recently published a series of photos of herself chilling out on a boat, and then followed up by going on Instagram Live and talking about some upcoming projects. Her new album is “sounding amazing,” she says, and she also shared that her favorite track is called “Rare.”

Selena and her friends exemplify how we need a good girl squad to support us during the good times, the bad times, and any time at all. I am slightly more convinced to get matching tattoos with my own girl squad after this. But only slightly.

I haven’t worn a bra in four years. I mean, I’ve worn a bra, it just wasn’t a “real” bra (you know, the ones with the cups and the underwire and the padding). Instead, I’ve worn exclusively bralettes and I’ve loved every second of it. But I do feel like I’m missing out on something.

Mostly out of pure laziness, combined with the fact that I’m never able to find a bra that I like, I’ve resorted to wearing something that’s basically just more stylish sports bra. I’ve never found a traditional bra that was comfortable (seriously, who ever thought underwire would be comfortable?), affordable (I don’t have $100 to spend on something nobody will ever see) and wasn’t cheetah printed or covered in bows. So consequently, I have an arsenal of bralettes that I wear every day. I can’t even remember the last time I broke out my only “real” bra. As a result, I have absolutely zero clue what bra size I am, and have no desire to go into a store and be measured in order to find out.

I used to be pretty comfortable living in my blissful braless ignorance, but then entered Harper Wilde.

Basically the Warby Parker of bras, Harper Wilde takes all the discomfort and stress out of shopping for these dreaded boob-holders. For free, you can order three bras of your choice to try on in the comfort of your own home—so no awkward moments of being measured in department store dressing rooms. Similar to clothing subscription services, you keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

What’s even cooler than the service, though, are the bras themselves. Harper Wilde took all the complains that women (especially the bra-averse ones like me) have about typical bras, like discomfort, confusing sizes and excessive frills, and did the exact opposite. They have three simple style options, The Base, The Boost and The Flex, and they’re made from the most comfortable fabric ever—they honestly feel like pillows for your boobs. And have seriously amazing design elements (hello, front-adjustable straps).

I was lucky enough to be able to try some on for myself, and my whole perception of bras has changed. After trying all three styles, it was hard to pick a favorite. But if I had to choose just one, it would have to be The Base. It was so light and comfortable that I felt like I was wearing nothing, but still felt completely supported.

All my bra dreams have finally come true. Harper Wilde made every single one of my bra fears irrelevant.

• I don’t have to try them on in the store

• There’s no pokey or painful underwire

• They feel like more of a pillow than a boob-cage

• They adjust in the front so I don’t have to ask someone to help me (always awkward)

• There’s no unnecessary bows or frills that show through clothes

• They’re only $35

• And they donate to The Girl Project, helping to give young women access to education (#LiftUpTheLadies)

If all that isn’t enough to change my bralette-dependent ways, I don’t know what will. But I’m pretty sure I’ve already been converted.

From K-Pop's catchy tunes to K-Beauty's obsession with perfect skin, Korean trends are really having a moment right now – and K-Style isn't being left out. From off-the-shoulder tops inspired by music videos to oversized denim jackets that are all the rage in true Korean street style, we’ve found some effortless K-Style fashion trends that you need to try immediately. Prepare to be obsessed.

1. Off-the-shoulder tops

We can’t talk about K-Style without talking about the hottest music genre right now, K-Pop. One of the styles that often can be spotted in K-Pop, whether on stage or in videos, is off-the-shoulder tops.  According to Keoni Nguyen, a senior at Rutgers University, a perfect example of this trend is in the music video for TWICE’s “Dance the Night Away.” Their off-the-shoulder tops in the music video are perfect for a casual look – or even a vacation look – when paired with some cutoff denim shorts and sandals.

2. Puffed sleeves

According to Who What Wear, puffed sleeves are a K-Style trend to watch out for. The puffed sleeve trend is the perfect mix of sweet, classy and professional. Pair a white chiffon puffed sleeve top with a nice black skirt and some simple jewelry for a super stylish look to rock at the office.

3. Suspender dresses

If you search images of Korean style, the suspender dress will be one of the first things that comes up. Honestly, we're not surprised – it’s so stylish and easy to wear! Suspender dresses are basically long skirts with thick straps on top, making it super easy to pair with your favorite t-shirt. Plus, this outfit is perfect for piling on accessories like layered necklaces, cool hats and fashionable sunglasses.

4. Statement earrings

Keoni also mentions statement earrings as a style trend seen in K-Pop, especially in Apink’s music video for “I’m So Sick.” Statement earrings are the perfect addition to any wardrobe because they’re so versatile. From big, colorful baubles to sleek, geometric shapes, you can find statement earrings to match any vibe. 

5. Oversized denim jackets

When thumbing through pictures of Korean street style looks, oversized denim jackets seem to be everywhere. They're an amazing way to add some cool-girl style to any outfit, whether that’s paired with cutoffs during the summer or layered over a hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans in the fall.

You’re going to be the most stylish person in your friend group with these K-Style trends in your closet.

Rumor has it that Zendaya ~might~ get casted as Ariel in Disney's live-action version of the 1989 animated classic The Little Mermaid. Again, let's emphasize ~might~ because neither Zendaya nor Disney has commented or confirmed our mermaid dreams quite yet.

But that doesn't mean we're not hyped about the idea of Ariel as a woman of color.

In her interview with Maire Claire's September issue, Zendaya admitted that, "I always tell my theatrical manager, 'Anytime it says they’re looking for white girls, send me out. Let me get in the room. Maybe they’ll change their minds.'" This is the kind of rebellious cause we want and need to change the stereotypical movie industry perspective. Zendaya's Disney background has already set her up for a lead role, but her mindset also resembles Ariel's, "But who cares? No big deal" attitude.

Either way, we all want to see strong, independent women of color become a part of our worlds. So go ahead and sign Ursula's contract, Zendaya, because we all want to hear your voice sing about thingamabobs and plenty more.

Federal prosecutors have reportedly granted immunity to David Pecker, a longtime friend of President Donald Trump and the CEO of American Media Inc. (AMI), the parent company of the National Enquirer, in exchange for information on Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime personal attorney, The Wall Street Journalreports.

Cohen pleaded guilty on Tuesday to eight counts, which included campaign finance violations stemming from hush money agreements made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, who both claimed to have had affairs with Trump.

In a federal courthouse earlier this week, Cohen admitted to making those payments “in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office,” referring to Trump.

As part of the deal, Pecker has agreed to provide information relating to the payments made to Daniels and McDougal in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, as Cohen and AMI allegedly cooperated in coordinating the payments, The Huffington Post reports.

Daniels received $130,000 for the rights to her story regarding her alleged affair with Trump, and McDougal received $150,000 from AMI for the exclusive rights to her story. AMI, however, never published McDougal’s story.

In the criminal information charging document filed Tuesday as part of Cohen’s guilty plea, prosecutors allege that a person identified as “Chairman-1,” who is believed to be Pecker, “in coordination with MICHAEL COHEN, the defendant, and one or more members of the campaign, offered to help deal with negative stories about Individual-1's relationships with women by, among other things, assisting the campaign in identifying such stories so they could be purchased and their publication avoided.”

The criminal information also stated that “Chairman-1 agreed to keep COHEN apprised of any such negative stories.” According to court documents, Cohen and Pecker agreed to suppress these negative stories about Trump just two months after he announced he would run for office.

After securing immunity, Pecker told prosecutors that he worked with Cohen on the hush money agreements for Daniels and McDougal, and said Trump knew about the deal all along, a source told ABC News.

Because of the deal with prosecutors, Pecker, as well as AMI Chief Content Officer Dylan Howard, will avoid criminal charges.

ABC News reported in April that the search warrant executed by federal investigators at Cohen’s home, hotel and office for documents belonging to Cohen that included specific mentions of AMI, as well as his work for Trump, such as secret deals with mistresses.

Pecker has long considered Trump a “personal friend” and the National Enquirer drew criticism during the presidential campaign for endorsing Trump for president, HuffPost reports.

As for now, Cohen is scheduled to be sentenced in December.

President Donald Trump addressed the issue of impeachment for the first time publicly on Thursday, warning about the consequences of removing him for the presidential office.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump warned that the “market would crash” if he were impeached, questioning why Democrats would even would even considering going down that course in the future.

“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job,” Trump said in the interview, which aired Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”

“I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see -- you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse,” Trump added.

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s guilty plea earlier this week implicating Trump may have raised the prospect of more congressional probes into the president’s conduct, particularly if Democrats are able to gain control of Congress following the midterm elections. But for now, few lawmakers are discussing impeachment.

Democrats, and many Republicans, are holding off the talk of impeachment while special counsel Robert Mueller continues his investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, ABC News reports.

“If something comes out that is clear and convincing and impeachable, I think members will act,” Rep. Tom Cole, a member of the House GOP leadership, told CNBC Wednesday, adding that it was “too soon” for Congress to start an impeachment probe.

“We need to know the facts and the law before we decide upon a remedy,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal told ABC News. “It has to be a remedy that the American people will be supporting because ultimately the decision will be made not only in the courts but also the court of public opinion.”

“The way I look at this is let Robert Mueller do his job and let’s wait for the report to come out,” Rep. Cheri Bustos, a member of Democratic leadership, said. “Should it show that laws were broken, we understand full and well that there’s not anybody who is above the law.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has urged the Democratic caucus to not push for impeachment, and said that any eventual effort should be bipartisan.

“The Special Counsel’s team and the prosecutors in New York are conducting thorough and professional investigations, and they must be allowed to continue free from interference,” Pelosi wrote to her fellow Democrats on Wednesday. “As November rapidly approaches, we must also stay focused on delivering our strong economic message to hard-working families across America.”

Pelosi also told House Democrats in a conference call on Wednesday to ignore the scandals surrounding the White House, including Cohen’s guilty plea and Omarosa Manigault Newman’s tapes.

However, there is some concern privately among Republicans that if Democrats take control of Congress in November, they will go after Trump.

“The idea of an impeachment is frankly a sad attempt by Democrats, it’s the only message they seem to have going into the midterms,” said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. “It is another great reminder why Americans should support other like-minded candidates like the president.”

There have, however, been attempts to bring forward articles of impeachments, including from Rep. Al Green. Green said he has not ruled out presenting another set of impeachment articles if none of his colleagues do so following Cohen’s guilty plea.

“The president of the United States is now directly implicated in a criminal conspiracy, numerous members of both his campaign and administration have been convicted, pleaded guilty to felonies, or are ensnared in corruption investigations, and the Judiciary Committee has real work to do,” Rep. Jerry Nadler said.

Impeachment, however, does not seem to be on the horizon anytime soon. Even some of Trump’s toughest critics have said that there is currently limited evidence for a convincing case for impeachment.  

Beloved ‘Lazy Town’ star, Stéfan Karl Stefánsson, has passed away. The 43-year-old, who played Robbie Rotten on the show, had been battling bile duct cancer for the past two years. "Per Stefan's wishes, there will be no funeral. His earthly remains will be scattered in secrecy in a distant ocean,” his wife, Steinunn Olina wrote on Facebook.

Although you may not have seen the show, you may recognize Robbie Rotten from the Lazy Town song “We Are Number One” that became a viral meme in 2016. According to News Cult, the meme surged in popularity when Lazy Town staff set up a GoFundMe page for Stefánsson to help cover the costs of his cancer treatment. When the Internet became aware of the effort, they managed to raise close to $170,000 from spreading remixes and parodies of the song.

For those of you who were not lucky enough to grow up with 'Lazy Town,' the show follows 8-year-old Stephanie on her adventures through the Lazy Town where she tries to motivate the rather inactive population (hence the name ‘Lazy Town’) to engage in physical activity, Stefánsson’s character, Robbie Rotten, the villain in the children’s series, tries to stop Stephanie and her sidekick’s, Sportacus, schemes, preferring to remain lazy instead.

Stefánsson shared updates on his treatment and progress on social media but announced this March that the cancer had returned and this time “was inoperable”, writes BBC. A Turner spokesperson, the company that owned Lazy Town, expressed their condolences. "We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Stefan Karl's passing. He was an original and talented performer who was deeply loved and brought joy to many people's lives. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time."

We all love a captivating romantic comedy. Whether you're currently navigating singledom, in a long distance relationship or you're in the awkward pre-DTR limbo with your situationship, rom-coms are an evergreen genre because they're so relatable to nearly everyone. Beyond bringing our favorite young adult novel to life, To All the Boys I've Loved Before brings long-overdue and healthy representation for Asian Americans in the romantic genre (and most other genres for that matter). 

Let's face it though: If you haven't watched To All the Boys I've Loved Before starring Lana Condor, you clearly need to update your binge-watching queue or your ex finally revoked your Netflix privileges. Rude, but this is the necessary wake up call you need to get your own Netflix account (because it's a vital, albeit small, first step to adulting). If, for whatever reason, you need more motivation to see this film, which will destroy any lingering realistic expectations you had for your future significant other, we spoke to TATBILB's filmmaker, Susan Johnson. 

Beyond talking about what inspired her to take direct this film and the magic behind ~those~ innately magical moments, Johnson talked about how she got started as a filmmaker and how we can support women creators. 

Her Campus: What inspired you to direct To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before?

Susan Johnson: I just thought it was a joyful book and a joyful script. It made me happy, and I could relate to Lara Jean’s journey. I’m the middle of three girls, first of all, I have three sisters. And I am also Lara Jean a little bit in that I to prefer to hang out on my couch and watch movies, instead of going out and, you know, participating in the world. So both of those things really resonated with me in reading the script and exploring how to change Lara Jean’s life and my own. You know, you always have to find a common love and in anything you're trying to do. And those were the things that worked for me.

HC: Absolutely, I think Lara Jean’s character, both on screen and in the book, is a very relatable one that anyone can find something about themselves in her.

SJ: For sure, or want to be. Or find why they want to be like her.

HC: Definitely. What were some of the challenges you underwent while filming this movie?

SJ: One was making sure we were staying true to the fact that the sisters are Asian American, and we want to stay true to that in the book. Jenny specifically wasn't going to make the movie and unless we stayed true to the ethnicity of the girls, which I love, love love that about Jenny. I don't think she should ever make anything that’s changed to suit the market. And so it was challenging to cast the film because the three of them are Korean-American sisters. We had to borrow from other Asian cultures in order to cast the film. So, you know, we're sort of sometimes getting a little bit of feedback about that specifically, but I'm hopeful that people can embrace the fact that we've come this far with an Asian American cast and [people will] support the film for us doing our best with regards to ethnicity. And the other thing that was tricky was just that the fan base is so strong and so vocal. It's fantastic to come into a project that has that much support, but it also can be daunting.

So I tried to do as much research as I could before we started shooting with what fans we're talking about, what scenes they loved, which scenes they hope to see in the movie, and then I shut it all out when we started shooting. I just had to go with my own vision, based on how I had informed myself and go with my gut. So that’s what I did. And hopefully, they like it.

HC: Well, I loved it. I know my opinion doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but I think going with your intuition is really all that matters, especially in this industry. And like you said with the casting hopefully that will help you know Hollywood and entertainment industries to push even further to include more representation.

SJ: I hope so. I think that's how that's how romantic comedy is changing. You know, we have miles, and miles, and miles to go. Being inclusive is the only way to go, and that is with regard to race and gender and everything. Like, love stories are love stories, so let's see more of them, and let's be more inclusive.

HC: Absolutely. And speaking of gender, since women only make up about 8% of directors and top grossing films as of last year, do you have any advice for how women can get into underrepresented industries?

SJ: I don't. All I can say is to put your head down and do the work and shut out the noise, and just believe in yourself. You know, that number hasn't changed since I've been making films, and I've been doing this since I was 18 as an assistant. I don't see things changing. I think I just read yesterday that two of the 50 movies coming out this summer are directed by women. The only the only change will come in fans embracing films directed by women and that's online, it's on digital, it's in theaters, it's in books, it's in museums. Support for women and demand to see products created by women is what's going to move the bar. So it's really up to the fans, and I consider myself a fan.

I try to make sure to see every film that comes out that's directed by a woman because I want to be a part of this support system and part of the success. And that's not to say that I won't see — you know this is a very mixed crew, for instance, this movie was written by a woman, and directed by a woman, and the novel was by a woman, but it sort of ended there and I think it's always good to have both those voices represented in any movie. So you don't have to make a movie that's only a female crew. But we still have to be demanding to see female artists flourish in order to move the bar.

HC: Definitely. And even if it's subtly or very directly supportive, like you were saying, you see movies with female directors and female cast, and I think that's just as supportive as you know, vocalizing opinions.

SJ: Yep, yep. Buy the tickets. Go watch the movie. It's all recorded, even on Netflix. It's all recorded. They know what you're watching.

HC: Yeah, definitely. And then I know there's no such thing as a typical day in your career but what does your job as a filmmaker entail?

SJ: When I’m filming or just a regular day?

HC: Anything. It’s up to you what you want to share.

SJ: You know, I'm constantly researching. When I'm not working, I'm constantly researching. I'm researching stories. I'm researching crew. I'm researching actors. I'm just constantly setting—I'm sort of obsessive about it. You know, I really love my craft, and I am inspired every day by something different. And so being open to inspiration, I think is really important. And then when I'm filming, you know, it's a collaboration. I'm not a big fan of the film by credit, I think it's ridiculous. You write, shoot, direct, score and act in your movies, like there are a few people that can pull it off but the most part it's a collaborative art form. So figuring out how to get along with people and hear their voices and trust them and think about the best idea wins, until you're actually shooting the movie. I think those are all really important skills to have.

If you're a painter, you don't have to please anybody but yourself. If you’re recording artists, you get to go into a studio and do your own thing. If you're a filmmaker, it's a different deal. Sometimes you've got to use other peoples’ stories. You always have a career with people that want you to respect and listen to, and feel encouraged to do their best work because that will just help you do your best work. A film is an experiment with sociology as much as anything. So, that's my day when I'm working. It's getting along and listening to and understanding and being inspired by the people.

HC: Absolutely. It's like a culmination of different roles too. It's not really just one set job.

SJ: That's true. Sometimes you’re the den mom. Sometimes you’re the carpool person. You’re sometimes the mathematician. Sometimes the photographer. Sometimes the ear to cry on when people think they're not getting a scene — which they're getting — and it’s beautiful, but that's kind of fun part of the process.

HC: Definitely. And then what was your first entry-level job in the industry and how did you get it?

SJ: My very first was a big movie that came through the college I was going to at my first university, University of Arizona. A studio film came through and shot on campus. And I knew I wanted to be a filmmaker from very early on, but I wasn't seeing female directors anywhere, and I didn't know how I would make it happen. And I didn't really have family in the industry for one. I have an uncle that was a producer, but we didn't live in the same state. We didn't grow up together, really. So, I knew it could be done, I just didn’t know how it could be done. So anyway, this film came through my university, and I knocked on the door and got a job as an assistant in casting extras. I didn't even really know what casting was. I was so green and I loved it so much I would go 17 hours every day on set. And finally, I went to my professors and said, ‘Can I take my final exams late? This is what I want to do with my life I love this —  I’ve joined the circus. This is it.’ And they all let me, which was great.

And as I was on the second part of that movie, I applied to the University of Southern California knowing that that would be my future. I got in, fortunately, and then transferred to UFC and got myself into Hollywood and worked from the ground up after school. Just keep doing the work. My first job, once I was out of school, was at an agency working as an agent's assistant, and that's a great way to learn to learn sort of the business side of filmmaking. Then I left from that to work for producers and directors here and in London, which was the creative side of filmmaking. That was super exciting for me.

HC: Absolutely. That's, that's amazing that you got to learn both in and out of college. And then what words of wisdom do you live by to keep yourself motivated when you're working on a project?

SJ: That’s a good question. I prefer to shoot movies where I can think on my feet; I don't like to rehearse every moment. I think who you and the actors are on a specific day, in a specific scene, informs what that scene will be. So, I think it's really important to stay present and focused but open to new ideas. You know, an idea can come to somebody in the middle of the night that will inform a scene on the next day, so I think being rigid is the devil in this scenario. You have to really be open and fluid and patient, and those are all qualities that I think are important for a healthy film set and a healthy shoot. I think you see it on screen. If the director is frustrated or the actors are frustrated or they're not getting along, sometimes there's magic there. But more often than not the cast and the director have to trust each other so, so intensely, and we certainly did on this movie. We really connected.

HC: Absolutely. And I think you can kind of see the fluidity especially in those opening scenes where you're just developing character arcs and learning who these characters really are. And then what's one experience that you've learned from along the way?

SJ: I've come to understand that men and women don't think alike, so there will never be a moment where suddenly men think like women and women think like men. You have to trust that the genders represent themselves and that they can work together and against each other, and it's much better when they're working together. You know, we're sort of ingrained to maybe fall into stereotypes of what the female-male relationships should be in the workplace, and we have to do everything we can to break through that and work with each other as equals. It was a big surprise to me that once I started directing that there were still male-female issues on a set, and there's just no place for it when you’re working. You have to be on equal ground and respect each other, and sometimes that's really difficult. Differing opinions between men and women. I think that's tricky. And also something that we sort of strive to work on every single day in our personal lives and on set.

HC:  What advice would you give to a 20-something student who wants to go into filmmaking or the entertainment industry in general?

SJ: I think it's a such a magical time for anyone. I wish I had the opportunities that everybody has right here, right now, in this moment. You can take your cell phone, walk out the door and make a movie. When I was growing up, you had to hire cameras and find money for film stock and process the film. It was just extraordinarily expensive. Now, you can tell a story sitting in your bedroom with your computer on, and that's super powerful. So, have faith in your story and have faith in what you think are the stories you should tell. The only other thing I would say is to be careful not to judge others. We're sort of in this world where we're judging everybody all the time, every day, constantly online. I think people are sort of losing sight of the idea that individuals have their own artistic vision.

As much as you want to share your artistic vision with the world, respect the artistic journey of other people and that they made the decisions they made for how they see things. You know, you can't really judge other peoples’ hearts, and I'm hoping that we can be a little kinder to each other in that part of the process. It's tough right now for 20-somethings. I don't envy that. I don't envy the living out loud part of social media.  I just think there's so much opportunity, and there's so much opportunity for product and there are so many opportunities to tell different and diverse stories, inclusive stories. So, just get out there and just do the work and just start today. Go take your phone out the door and tell a story right now, and work your way through.

HC: Definitely. It’s just about starting that narrative and getting it out there for people to see.

SJ: Write that book. Whatever that is. Paint that painting. Definitely record that song. All of it.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before is now streaming on Netflix.

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.)

AG Jeff Sessions Says DOJ Won’t Be Influenced by “Political Considerations”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and President Donald Trump have shared their fair share of harsh words and criticism, but on Thursday, Sessions issued his strongest pushback yet, saying the Department of Justice “will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.”

When Trump was asked during an interview with Fox News on Thursday whether he will “fire Sessions,” Trump took aim at his Attorney General, who he has shared a war of words with since Session recused himself from the Russia investigation last year.

“I said ‘What kind of a man is this?’” Trump said during the interview, adding that Sessions has failed to take control of the DOJ.

“The only reason I gave him the job — I felt loyalty.”

In a statement from Sessions, the attorney general said that he “took control of the Department of Justice the day I was sworn in, which is why we have had unprecedented success at effectuating the President’s agenda.”

“While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations,” Sessions’ statement read. “I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action.”

Sen. John Cornyn, a top Republican senator, came to Sessions defense on Thursday.

“I think those of us who’ve worked with Jeff Sessions for the last 15 years or more know him to be an honorable man, somebody who’s dedicated not only to rule of law, but also to the Department of Justice,” Cornyn said, according to his office.

“He’s a quintessential Boy Scout in that respect. And I know this is a difficult position for him to be in but I think it would be bad for the country, it would be bad for the president, it would be bad for the Department of Justice for him to be forced out under these circumstances. So I hope he stays the course and I hope cooler heads prevail,” Cornyn added.

Responding to Trump’s comment that he would have not nominated Sessions for Attorney General if he would have known that Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia probe, Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch said, “I don’t think the president should have said something like that. Jeff’s a very fine fellow and that’s a comment that really I think we could have done without.”

“But you know, the president’s the president. He’s very open, he’s straightforward, he sometimes gets himself in trouble in being so straightforward,” Hatch said.

According to ABC News, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters, “The president’s entitled to an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that’s qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice. Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn’t have the confidence of the president.”

California Passed a Bill to Expunge Old Marijuana Convictions

California lawmakers passed a bill on Wednesday that lays the legal framework to expunge old marijuana convictions.

The California Senate passed AB 1793, a bill that would require the California Department of Justice to review the records of of cannabis convictions that are eligible for “recall or dismissal of sentence, dismissal and sealing, or re-designation” under current marijuana laws.

According to The Huffington Post, activists across the country have called for previous cannabis convictions to be wiped out as more and more states decriminalize, and legalize, the drug.

A Drug Policy Alliance study found that nearly 500,000 Californians had been arrested on marijuana charges between 2006 and 2015. The state recently passed a proposition allowing for recreational use of marijuana in 2016.

According to CNN, more than 218,000 convictions could be expunged or downgraded under the new law.

If California Gov. Jerry Brown signs the bill, state officials will have until July 1, 2019 to compile a list of eligible cases, and prosecutors will then have a year after that to determine which cases they will challenge.

Hurricane Lane Threatens Hawaii

Residents of Hawaii are preparing, as Hurricane Lane inches closer to landfall as a Category 4 storm.

Lane’s forecast track prompted hurricane warnings for all of the main islands, including including the Big Island, Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Oahu.

“The center of Lane will track dangerously close to the Hawaiian islands from Thursday through Saturday,” the Central Pacific Warning Center said in an update. “Regardless of the exact track of the storm center, life-threatening impacts are likely over some areas as this strong hurricane makes its closest approach.”

At a press conference on Wednesday, Hawaii Gov. David Ige told residents to shelter in place and have enough food and supplies to last for 14 days.

“We are expecting large amounts of rain, flooding and high winds,” Ige said. “There will be significant impacts even if the hurricane doesn’t hit us directly.”

On Wednesday afternoon, the Big Island started seeing rain, and by Wednesday evening, heavy rains showered the Big Island and Maui as the storm made its way northwest to the other islands.

Residents have flocked to the nearest grocery and hardware stores to get essentials, clearing out items such as bottled water, canned foods and propane tanks.

The storm is expected to bring anywhere from 10 to 15 inches of rain to the islands, with some areas seeing up to 20 inches of rain, the hurricane center said late Wednesday.

Lane is also expected to cause a storm surge of an estimated two to four feet above normal tide levels on west and south shores of the islands.

According to The Huffington Post, Gov. Ige signed an emergency proclamation on Tuesday in anticipation of Lane. The White House approved the governor’s request for a presidential disaster declaration on Wednesday, authorizing the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist the state.

On Wednesday, Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell warned residents that the city was planning for the worst case scenario, but “hoping for the best.”

“We do not want to see what happened in Puerto Rico and we do that by making sure we’re prepared,” Caldwell said. “We need the full cooperation of all of the public, really showing the aloha that we’re all about.”
