A Message From Acting Administrator Janet Petro

NASA Update - March 10, 2025

As I alluded to last week, we are all navigating a complex and ever-changing landscape together, and I want to share what that means for our team in the near term.

As directed by President Trump's Executive Order, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative," all federal agencies, including NASA, have been instructed to submit an initial plan for reductions in force and reorganization. In compliance with this directive, we are actively working with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to develop a thoughtful approach that aligns with both administration priorities and our mission needs. While this will mean making difficult adjustments, we're viewing this as an opportunity to reshape our workforce, ensuring we are doing what is statutorily required of us, while also providing American citizens with an efficient and effective agency.

In coordination with OPM, and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, we began implementing a phased reduction in force, or RIF, today. These actions are occurring in advance of the agency's RIF and reorganization plan as part of the broader governmentwide restructuring effort. We will close NASA's Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy, the Office of the Chief Scientist, and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility branch in the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity, along with reducing their workforce.

Our colleagues impacted by these changes have been valued members of our team. Their hard work has helped shape our successes in recent years, and we are deeply grateful for all they have contributed.

We are committed to supporting our employees through this transition and sharing the appropriate information on available resources. At the same time,

This continues to be going exceptionally badly for DOJ, which can't seem to give a straight answer to the judge's questions here: "We’re now 12 days in ... You can’t answer me whether any funds that you kind of acknowledged are covered by the court’s order have been unfrozen?"

In case you missed it, the Trump administration is making an end run around the court order that unfroze NIH spending: by not allowing NIH to place notices in the Federal Register, it has stopped them from holding any grant evaluation meetings. Basically, there’s no way to evaluate grants right now.

Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump say it should absolve their child-porn charges, too www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
There is Edward Kelley, who was pardoned for assaulting police at the U.S. Capitol, but who is now fighting another case. In November, a jury convicted him of conspiring to murder the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents who investigated his Jan. 6 participation, with evidence showing he had a “kill list” of targets.

Kelley now argues that conviction should be tossed out, too.

The Tennessee man believes that President Trump’s blanket pardon covering “offenses related to events that occurred at or near” the Capitol on Jan. 6 extends beyond that day.

Other defendants are similarly arguing they should be absolved of other alleged crimes, such as illegal gun possession and child pornography, discovered during Jan. 6 investigations. At least one defendant has died in a post-pardon altercation with police.

Historically, members of Congress have jealously guarded their own power and prerogatives, standing the line even against presidents of their own party. But this Republican Congress just bent the knee immediately, without even a word of protest. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...
The only institution capable of responding to this with any alacrity is Congress. But Congress is also led by Republicans, and both the Senate majority leader, John Thune, and the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, have declined to take any steps to arrest the president’s illegal arrogation of power or Musk’s destructive effort to run the federal government. Thune and Johnson, acting with the support of Republicans in both chambers, have, in effect, renounced their power over the purse and abnegated their powers of oversight. Their Congress is supine, submissive and subordinate, less the equal of the president than a tool of the executive branch — a subject of his will.
