I really hate that I have to defend something the Trump administration did, but sucking up to the current president is something that all government organizations do.

Here's a NASA press release celebrating the third anniversary of when Obama gave a speech: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-marks-third-anniversa...

And this NASA press release leads with this quote: "Since President Biden and Vice President Harris were sworn in one year ago, their administration has made generational progress for Americans". https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/one-year-into-the-biden-ad...

NASA press releases have always had "overt political propaganda". It's just more noticeable now because we're on the other side.

Thanks for these examples, I was wondering how much of a history there might be of it.
