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.)
Republicans' Last Attempt to Repeal Obamacare Is Pretty Much Officially Dead
RIP, Graham-Cassidy repeal bill: after Sen. John McCain announced Friday that he won't support the GOP's latest attempt to repeal Obamacare, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine followed suit on Monday, basically placing the final nail in the bill's coffin. Collins said she found the bill, which made major cuts to Medicaid and weakened protections for those with pre-existing conditions, "deeply flawed" and hopes that negotiations to stabilize Obamacare would continue instead of repealing it. (Because, you know, that method has failed three times at this point.)

Multiple of Trump's White House Aides Used Personal Email Accounts
Oh, the irony. The New York Times reported late Monday night that at least six of Trump's White House aides, including Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon, used personal email accounts to discuss White House matters. Technically, it's not illegal to use private email accounts, as long as all White House information is forwarded to aides' White House email addresses — and the Times reports that it is currently unknown whether the Trump administration has been doing this. Sorry, what's that about Hillary's emails?
They literally ran an entire campaign against Hillary Clinton for using private emails.
The hypocrisy is stunninghttps://t.co/ZftkaTfm4n

The Latest iOS Update Means You Should Be Extra Careful With Those Sexy Snaps
While almost everything about the iOS 11 update is the bomb-dot-com, Cosmopolitan notes that there's one thing those of us who are Snapchat-obsessed should be careful of. Along with animated emojis, the update also offers a way to create video screenshots — meaning any sexy video snaps you send could be recorded, and you probably won't know about it. Snapchat has said it plans to release an update that notifies you when someone captures your Snapchat video — but until then, proceed with caution on those NSFW snap vids.
What to look out for...
In case you need something to get you through the week (seriously, how is it only Tuesday?), National Coffee Day is this Friday, September 29 — and Hello Giggles reports that you can score a free cup of joe at tons of your favorite spots.
