President Donald Trump has been promoting the White House's new mobile app " pushing it to become the third-most downloaded item on Apple's popular App Store. But the app reportedly has numerous cybersecurity vulnerabilities, does not properly disclose the data it shares, and uses software components from a Russia-founded company. Cybersecurity researchers warn that the White House's new app regularly shares users' IP addresses, time zones and other data to third-party services," NOTUS reports. "But most of its users wouldn't know that, because the app doesn't disclose its data sharing the way most others do." Cybersecurity experts were shocked by the app's "slipshod" approach to cybersecurity, especially as it is essentially a product of the White House, and especially since the U.S. is at war.

For the first time since the war against Iran began, some South Florida gas station managers are reporting temporary shortages of gasoline. CBS News Miami found several stations with no gasoline Thursday morning, while one station had only premium fuel for sale. Experts attribute the interruptions to supply chain disruptions and a surge in demand, tied in part to panic buying. CBS News Miami visited a Shell station on S.W. 87th Ave., which had no gasoline until a tanker truck arrived at 2 p.m. Thursday. Customer Steve Vega expressed his frustration, saying, "I guess I have to get my gas somewhere else." Further south on S.W. 87th Ave. at Coral Way, an Exxon station was only selling premium gasoline. Manager Felix Colon of a Westar station in Coral Gables also reported having "no gas at all" while waiting for a delivery.
An American's whereabouts were unknown on Friday after Iran shot down a U.S. fighter jet, as questions mounted online over what happened to the missing service member and if the Trump administration would comment on it. President Donald Trump had not yet commented on the attack, which was the first time an American jet had been shot down since the military strikes launched five weeks ago. It was unknown what had happened to the missing pilot. The president has apparently been briefed on the situation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN.

Ty Cobb, who served as White House counsel during President Donald Trump's first term, said Wednesday that president is "clearly insane" and questioned why the Cabinet has not invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.
Appearing on The Jim Acosta Show, Cobb pointed to Trump's conduct during the Iran war and late-night social media posts as evidence that the president is unfit.
"Given the fact that the Cabinet will not invoke the 25th Amendment for a man who is clearly insane"this war highlights that and these screeds that come out nightly, you know, at 2 a.m. or 4 a.m."it highlights the level of his insanity and depravity," Cobb said.
