This "fact sheet" looks like Lockheed Martin marketing material. I feel like an enthusiast's fact sheet would be more likely to focus on the plane itself instead of the programs and partnerships.

Granddad was the Adult Pro Max in our family. Since he passed, Mom and I are both bad at adulting, so we just call each other to commiserate. :P

See my other comment reply: directly challenging the government's monopoly on the use of force seems like one of the most political possible acts.

I don't think we know for sure, but their slogans suggest that they're leftists, so it seems worth at least a mention.

You don't think stopping the current campaign of mass deportations, which seems like a likely motive, is a political goal?

Edit to be clear: politics is the struggle for control of the polity. Directly challenging the government's monopoly on the use of force is, perhaps, the most political act of violence possible.

I'm still on Pandora and honestly have no idea how they stack up. I just use it as a radio station on long drives.
