Recent developments indicate that Congress may pass appropriations legislation, including NASA's budget, before October 1. The White House plans to enforce its budget priorities through potential court measures if appropriations are not approved. NASA is reportedly developing termination plans for science missions targeted by the White House. Allegations have surfaced that NASA is aligning its budget cuts with an unapproved administration proposal, threatening mass layoffs and program closures without congressional consent. House committee members have publicly expressed their concerns regarding this situation.
NASA appears to be acting in accordance with a fringe, extremist ideology emanating from the White House Office of Management and Budget that asserts a right to impound funds appropriated by Congress for the sake of executive branch priorities.
The White House and its Office of Management and Budget have indicated that in absence of Appropriations legislation, they plan to implement the President's Budget Request, which set significantly lower spending levels for NASA.
