NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin - The @NYTimes story does not fully reflect the context NASA shared. At no point is NASA “tossing out” important scientific or historical materials, and that framing has led to several other misleading headlines.
This is unfortunate at a time when the world should be energized by a plan to send NASA astronauts farther into space than ever before, return us to the lunar environment with a commitment to stay, alongside historic investments in an orbital economy and a renewed pursuit of science and discovery.
The facts:
- The physical library space at Goddard is closing as part of a long-planned facilities consolidation approved in 2022 under the previous administration.
- NASA researchers will continue to have access to the scientific information and resources they need to do their work.
- NASA follows a deliberate process to evaluate materials, ensuring they are digitized, transferred to other libraries, or otherwise preserved for historical purposes.

Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand - New: Trump administration officials are internally pointing to a 1989 legal opinion and the subsequent US invasion of Panama as precedent to justify the operation that was carried out in Venezuela on Friday night without US congressional authorization, per 3 sources.
The 1989 legal opinion was authored by Bill Barr, who at the time was serving as the head of the Justice Department's powerful Office of Legal Counsel and later served as Attorney General in President Trump's first term.
The opinion concluded that the president has the inherent constitutional authority to deploy the FBI to investigate and arrest individuals for violating US law, "even if those actions contravene international law."
The FBI was on the ground with US Delta Force soldiers during Friday night's operation to arrest Maduro and his wife.
