House Appropriations Committee Republicans today released their 2027 Defense funding bill, which will be considered by the Defense subcommittee during a closed meeting tomorrow. The bill sets the Pentagon budget at more than $1 trillion – the largest in U.S. history and a $234 billion increase over 2026. The extravagant increase in Defense spending comes as Republicans propose steep cuts to domestic programs that support working people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.

During today’s House Appropriations Subcommittee markup of the 2027 Homeland Security funding bill, House Democrats highlighted how the bill fails to include protections against abuse that Democrats and the American people have been demanding, as DHS agents have harassed, beaten, detained, and even killed law-abiding American citizens. It also cuts funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) by nearly $350 million, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) by more than $250 million.

The bill passed overwhelmingly.
