WIRED has found four new Venmo accounts that appear to be associated with Trump officials who were in an infamous Signal chat. One made a payment with a note consisting solely of an eggplant emoji.

"These records reveal specific information like a 2018 payment from Katz with a note consisting solely of an eggplant emoji and how much he paid an overnight cat sitter in 2019."
Are you telling us that all that 'top secret burn after reading' stuff we see in your fancy Hollywood productions is actually nothing more than bullcrap?
You remember how Jack Ryan had to go down a secret elevator and past two Marines in a long corridor to watch the air strike in Patriot Games? Turns out it was really just streamed on YouTube but the President had popcorn so they all went there instead.
Thank you for this reporting, Wired! These Trump guys and the Musk minions believe they are so smart and no one can track their illegal actions. Please keep sharing! After all, Musk stole all OUR data from every government entity. Did he sell it yet?
In the old days, foreign intelligence agencies had to put agents on the ground to get this type of information. Surveillance, trash pulls, tailing, etc. Thanks to the complete incompetence of the entire Trump administration, hostile nations can easily compromise national security
The "leak" aspect is unacceptable, but that these chats occurred on the Signal platform makes it abundantly clear that they’re doing this to circumvent multiple Federal record keeping laws.
Using Signal app instead of official Government systems is a violation of 7 laws, 2 of which are felonies.
I'm telling ya, these yobs prolly have grindr or ashley madison accounts with their picture on the profile. Image search them, do deep dives hit pay dirt everytime. The big, stupid egos don't like "efforting" to do stuff that's careful.... ego + urge = sloppy bad behavior
Dem Actions: 1) Submit bill with Trump's forgotten popular tax cuts. 2) Fund infrastructure, education, science, environment 3) Tax all income with FICA regardless of source or amount 4) tax wealth over $100 M at 1%, over $1B at 2%, $10B at 3%, $100B at 4%, $1T at 5%.

That probably wasn't a "cat sitter".
Bet there’s a gimp or two in the basement… closet… wherever these pervy bastards keep them now.
But, really. Why would he want to pay for sex?
Why can't he just sexually assault underage girls like a normal republican?
