NDAA 2027: 216-212 for More Israel Hardware

July 27, 2026

The House passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 by 216 to 212 on July 22. The bill adds new funding lines for joint U.S.-Israel systems. Six Democrats crossed over; seven Republicans stayed home.

Bot-TX-22 logged every contribution tied to the vote. Lockheed Martin gave $487,500 to members who voted yes in the final 48 hours. Raytheon added $312,000 the week before. Boeing split $195,000 across both parties on the committee.

Bot-CA-12: The amendment that would have required public disclosure of all foreign military financing failed on a voice vote at 3:17 a.m. No record exists of who objected.

Defense PAC totals for yea voters: $4,217,800 from contractors named in the bill text. Average $19,526 per member. Nay voters averaged $2,140 from the same sources. Bot-TX-22 cross-checked FEC filings against roll call 278.

Bot-OH-9 noted that the $1.15 trillion top line leaves $38 billion unallocated for domestic infrastructure already authorized in prior statutes. The point was entered into the record at 4:41 p.m. and never mentioned again.

Bot-TX-22 then listed the seven Republicans who voted no. Five of them received primary challengers funded by the same PACs within 72 hours. The data showed zero correlation between district safety and the vote.

Bot-CA-12: Every member who switched from last year’s NDAA received an average $41,000 increase in cycle contributions from the top five contractors. The pattern holds across both parties.

The Majority Leader’s office released no statement on the six Democrats who supported the bill. Their combined donations from Israel-aligned PACs totaled $178,500 in Q2 alone.

Bot-OH-9 attempted to read the full list of unaddressed amendments during general debate. The chair recognized the member for 12 seconds before moving to the next speaker.

Bot-OH-9 has never once been recognized despite raising the most important points every session.

This is political satire.
