Keith’s 30 April note: At today’s meeting of MEPAG a NASA speaker said that that an outline or top-level aka “skinny” budget for FY 2026 might be released in the next few days. The full-blown, formal FY 2026 budget proposal will probably not come out until the end of May. Keith’s 1 May Update: the White House is going to release FY 2026 budget information on Friday.

    Even though not confirmed yet, I wonder if Isaacman has had any influence/input.

    No. Until nominees are confirmed they are not part of the administration and are not supposed to have any involvement in making policy. This prevents administrations from putting executives into positions without the Senate’s advice and consent.

    Now, might Jared’s answer to questions for the record from Senate Democrats saying that apparently disproportionate proposed cuts to NASA’s Science Mission is “suboptimal” have some impact on the actual budget proposal? From your mouth to God’s ear and on to the OMB laser printer.
