Vote against the Pentagon's $29.5 billion AI Arsenal initiative in the FY2027 budget. This is a massive, rushed bet on government-owned AI supercomputers and data centers — funded in part through $350 billion in mandatory reconciliation spending that hasn't even cleared Congress yet. That's not responsible defense investment. That's a blank check. The DOD already struggles to manage what it has. Shifting from "scattered GPU clusters" to a centralized, multi-site supercomputing empire doesn't fix the underlying problem — it scales it. Hardened SCIF-accredited data centers across multiple sites, new GPU procurement, and a brand-new National Security Investment Fund all bundled into one initiative is too much, too fast, with too little oversight. And the fact that this infrastructure is explicitly designed to serve the entire federal government, not just the military, makes it even more alarming. Block this funding. Demand a full independent review of the AI Arsenal initiative before a single dollar is appropriated. The Pentagon's total budget request is already $1.45 trillion — there is no justification for rubber-stamping $29.5 billion more for unproven AI infrastructure on this timeline.
