Point to any other campaign ad from any politician from any party that similarly violated NASA ad regulations. I cannot recall any. NASA has generally been a non-partisan issue (with the exception of earth science).https://twitter.com/OkieBranigan/status/1268919592799404032 …

Are you sure that it breaks the regulations? The regulations apply to commercial activities. Are political activities, commercial activities? It's possible that the regulations apply to all forms of ads but it's not clear to me. Did you ever receive a response from NASA on this?
As I say in the article, I did not receive a response from NASA. Still haven't. Hard to believe that they would have a carve-out for political ads. The policy specifies what is acceptable usage and political ads is not on that list.

NASA has rules for non-commercial uses (I am not saying that it is those rules that necessarily apply; I am honestly not sure which rules apply, I find the guidelines unclear):https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/guidelines/index.html …

Under the section for non-commercial use, this sentence is key: "NASA content used in a factual manner that does not imply endorsement may be used without needing explicit permission." I don't how one could contort that a political ad does not imply endorsement.
