The Defense Department’s efforts to take equity stakes in private companies are without recent precedent. Until and unless the Pentagon sets forth a clear legal basis, the legality of these deals will remain contestable, writes Benjamin Press.

Assessing the Legal Bases for the Defense Department’s Equity Stakes
The Pentagon has taken equity stakes in key suppliers without ever stating a legal basis—and its likely justifications don’t hold up.

Trump didn’t “reform” Medicaid. He looted it. Hundreds of billions stripped from coverage so the top end could keep a permanent tax holiday. Work-requirement red tape and six-month redeterminations aren’t “integrity.” They’re a bureaucratic eviction notice for people who can’t hire a lobbyist.

Louisiana argues in FDA case that the Comstock Act, a dormant 19th-century anti-obscenity law, prohibits shipping mifepristone. But if Comstock bans mailing abortion pills, it would also ban supplies sent to clinics—even in legal states. Activists are pressing the DOJ to embrace this interpretation
