House Appropriators advance FY2027 defense bill: $1.07T Pentagon topline, $55.5B for Space Force; adds $300M to FAMM while trimm

The House Appropriations Committee advanced its FY2027 defense spending package at a $1.07 trillion topline, including $234 billion more than enacted 2026 funding. The panel approved $55.5 billion for the U.S. Space Force, added $300 million (to $355 million) for the Air Force Family of Mass Missiles, and flagged concern over using reconciliation for F-35 and critical munitions financing while cutting the Air Force working capital fund request.
