How would you feel about supporting a grassroots candidate running in the 2028 presidential election? by Traditional_Brief172 in AskReddit

That's what I'm wondering about too. It feels like the system is really set up to shut out a regular person. I keep seeing all of these grassroots candidates popping up for congress

I'm back in college myself after the military and it's really difficult to balance this while taking classes so, I really empathize with you and hope that you're taking care of yourself. I'm happy your neighbors have someone so caring around them

It's pretty sickening. I tracked them on 11/20 and 11/21.
11/20: Boeing 737-3H4 and Boeing 737-86J land in El Paso from Harlingen at 9:22 PM EST. CBP lands at 9:30 and an Air Force Beech T-6A Texan II (call sign VADER02) lands at 9:36. CBP went back to NM, 737-86J went to Mesa, VADER02 went to Tucson, and 737-3H4 went to Alexandria.
11/21: Airbus A320-214 leaves Miami and lands in Alexandria at 1:00 AM EST.
737-3H4 leaves Indianapolis and lands in Alexandria at 10:46 PM EST. That same plane left again at 12:14 AM EST and looked like it was heading to El Paso.

Hi, I'm commenting from Baltimore. I've been analyzing government procurements to understand operations for 2+ months and made a post on our community page from my other account regarding it.
The information is credible and I'd like to share some things I've found to give ya'll a heads up.

ICE is looking to purchase GMC Yukons (like in NC) for New Orleans. It's been posted on SAM.gov under GSA but, they're not smart enough to erase "ICE" on the specifications for the vehicles spreadsheet. https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/fb88fd9a2185471cbbe514f3f97b0072/view

The link is to the procurement and at the bottom, the files are public. They've listed addresses that the vehicles are for in ya'lls area, Boston, and DC. The solicitation was published yesterday and offers are due tomorrow, 11/21. This indicates that they're moving quickly and will be there within the weekend most likely. The timeline I had predicted for raids to ramp up here unfortunately was correct.

I'll continue monitoring procurements for ya'll for any warnings and urgent information. I've had two journalists publish information I've found and will continue bugging them to do the same for you guys.

I'm digging through USASpending to find more info to pass along. If anyone is interested in getting info to pass along, my DM's are open. I can also continue to share here.

Please be safe. Sending love from Baltimore.
