The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Action: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Dates: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 21, 2026.

• Personnel Appeals Board; Procedural Rules (2026-16108; 4 CFR Part 28) — The Government Accountability Office Personnel Appeals Board (PAB or Board) proposes several significant changes to its existing regulations to streamline and modernize case processing before the Board.

The Board is also eliminating the automatic commencement of discovery upon the issuance of notice of petition to allow the Administrative Judge to tailor the process on a case-by-case basis. The Board is also beginning implementation of local rules for practice to aid pro se parties and legal practitioners who are unfamiliar with PAB processes. The local rules and petition form are available for viewing on the PAB website at www.pab.gao.gov. The Board is also proposing removal of §§ 28.46-28.50 relating to subpoenas issued by the Board. The Board has also clarified language related to issuing of stays of personnel actions. The Board has also clarified the class certification process.

Deborah Posner, et al (No. 25-02817; filed 2026-08-05) — The Third Circuit affirmed the denial of a motion for injunctive relief to vacate state court child custody and support orders, finding the Rooker-Feldman doctrine prohibited federal review of the state court judgments and the applicant could not demonstrate irreparable harm, particularly given that over six years had elapsed and the affected children were now adults.
• In plain terms Weiss's request for relief to overturn state custody and support orders was denied because federal courts cannot review those state judgments.

• Bezalel Grossberger v. Robert Cormack (No. 25-03032; filed 2026-08-05) — The Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's dismissal of Bezalel Grossberger's pro se complaint alleging attorney Robert Cormack extorted and harassed him over a decade in retaliation for a contested real estate deal.

• In plain terms The Third Circuit upheld the dismissal of Grossberger's complaint alleging attorney Cormack extorted and harassed him over a decade in retaliation for a real estate dispute, finding the facts did not establish racketeering activity.

• In plain terms Ortega-Varela's immigration appeal was denied because his motion was filed past the 90-day deadline without extraordinary circumstances.

Roll-call votes the chambers themselves record on 2026-08-07, in vote-number order. Every recorded vote in the window is listed: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one question over another. Tallies and member positions come from the chamber's own published vote record, captured and hashed like every other source. This is the chambers' vote record itself; section 1.3 lists the Congressional Record granules in which votes were printed.

What the chambers did with individual measures on 2026-08-07, as the Library of Congress's own bill-status record states it. Every action in the ingestion window is listed, in bill-designation order: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one measure over another. Section 2 lists the text of bills published this day; this section lists what happened to them.

Publication lag: the record dates an action by the day the chamber took it and publishes it the following morning, so this section fills in after the day it describes has ended — the same lag the judicial section carries, and it is restated under Known gaps.

No bill actions dated this day were observed.

It accounts for every package observed on this digest day (GUIDE §3, observation-day filing); each package's own date may differ and is stated where it does.

Verification: any item above can be checked against its source in one click via its govinfo link. Totals in this table are reproducible from the stored extraction records for 2026-08-07.

Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (4c1f91d). Editorial principles — primary sources only, opinion-agnostic prose, mechanical party-blind selection, full coverage accounting — are defined in GUIDE.md §2. Ruleset in effect: prompt version 2; plain-language version 2. To reproduce this digest: re-run the report stage against the extracted records for 2026-08-07; no upstream re-fetch is required (GUIDE.md §5).

Filing note (2026-08-06, standing): digests from 2026-08-06 file govinfo packages under their day of first observation — FAPD's three clocks are explained in the FAQ. The Federal Register files under its cover date, on which it is legally published. Digests before 2026-08-06 filed by each document's own date; the two Congressional Record issues observed 2026-08-04/05 (proceedings of 08-03/08-04) fell between the freeze and this change and appear in no digest — disclosed here, not backfilled.

"In plain terms" lines are model-generated restatements of the stored summaries, derived only from the summary text shown beside them; items without one had no usable restatement. ALL-CAPS source headings are case-normalized for display; original casing is preserved at the source link. Term definitions above are static, repo-versioned prose.
