The White House app is reportedly coming to all devices managed by the Department of Homeland Security, whether the user wants to download it or not. According to Politico, an email went out to all Homeland Security personnel on June 16, telling them the app will be automatically installed on all government devices. It's not quite clear whether that means it will eventually be loaded onto all federal agencies' phones in the future, with Homeland Security being one of the first. But the email reportedly described the app as "a convenient way to access official White House communications, including announcements, executive actions, speeches, livestreams, videos and other updates." The government officially launched the White House app back in March, promising live streams of presidential addresses, press briefings, latest events and articles that praise the Trump administration. It also gives users access to consolidated feeds from the government's official social media accounts, and apparently, a list of the current cost of common grocery items.

Trump Admin Blames Vandalism for Lincoln Memorial Pool Delays, Interior Secretary Offers Different Explanation

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum contradicted President Trump's claims that vandalism caused algae blooms at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, stating the algae was a "momentary thing" from pipes. Burgum did confirm "gashes" totaling 350 feet in the pool's coating, attributing them to a "small group of people" attempting to "destroy" it, while denying that vehicles on the surface contributed. The $15 million renovation project, initially estimated at $2 million, faces further delays and reapplication of coating.
