Full observed listing for this day — every item our collectors observed for this publication day, mechanical rules applied, frozen at end of day. This digest is the canonical record.

Day in Review
The House side of the Congressional Record dominates the legislative material: the digest carries 27 House proceedings documents, 4 Senate, 20 Extensions of Remarks, and 6 Daily Digest items. Among them the House recorded receipt and referral of executive communications covering interim and final agency rules on agricultural programs, pesticide tolerances, emergency alert modernization, and firearms regulations, along with fiscal year 2027 budget amendments and defense sale notifications. Bill texts number 103 across stages, including 75 introduced in the Senate, 13 introduced in the House, 6 agreed to in the Senate, and 4 enrolled.
On the executive and regulatory side, the digest carries 15 final rules, 12 proposed rules, 70 notices, and 4 presidential documents, plus 218 agency press releases. The presidential documents include a proclamation designating August 7, 2026, as National Purple Heart Day; an action setting a minimum import price program and a 15 percent ad valorem tariff on polysilicon derivatives effective December 4, 2026; and two executive orders, 14418 on the issuance of citizenship documents and 14419 defining and addressing birth tourism. Rules and proposals span FDA food-substance notices, Treasury guidance on employer contributions to Trump accounts, DEA rescheduling of three insomnia medications, EPA state implementation plan actions in New Hampshire and Arizona, FAA airspace amendments, Coast Guard safety zones, and an SBA change removing a rebuttable presumption of social disadvantage in the 8(a) program.
The digest carries 39 appellate opinions, 239 district court opinions, and 5 bankruptcy opinions. The Ninth Circuit dismissed consolidated appeals by Meta and TikTok, holding that Section 230 supplies a defense to liability rather than immunity from suit and so does not support interlocutory appeal; it also addressed Hawaii and California sensitive-places firearm laws under the Bruen framework, affirming some preliminary injunctions and reversing others. The Eleventh Circuit affirmed denial of habeas relief in an Atkins intellectual-disability claim, and the Federal Circuit affirmed that interactive-chart patents are ineligible under Section 101.

Todd Blanche (No. 25-02320; filed 2026-08-10) — Orellana, an El Salvador national, applied for asylum claiming she and her children faced persecution from a man who threatened her family after a personal dispute with her former partner. The Fourth Circuit granted her petition for review and remanded, holding that immigration authorities erred by analyzing the persecutor's grievance against the former partner rather than his reasons for threatening Orellana and her children, which the court found were based on family membership, a protected ground for asylum eligibility.

49 release(s) above arrived through more than one ingestion channel and are each listed once, marked "Corroborated" in place. Every arrival is captured, hashed, and counted in the Coverage Statement — the merge is presentation, not omission.
Also observed this day, not listed above: 18 release(s) the agencies date on other days (feed backfill from newly activated sources). Excluded under AGENCYPR-EX-01; counted in the Coverage Statement; captures preserved.
7. Recorded Votes
Roll-call votes the chambers themselves record on 2026-08-11, 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.
No recorded votes dated this day were observed.
8. Bill Actions
What the chambers did with individual measures on 2026-08-11, 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.
9. Presidential Actions
Source: the Executive Office of the President, as published on whitehouse.gov and observed 2026-08-11. These are the President's own instruments — executive orders, proclamations, memoranda — carried here as the White House published them, days before the Federal Register compiles them into section 3.
Register (GUIDE §2): titles are the publisher's words and appear verbatim; any prose of ours about them is attributed, exactly as it is for agency releases. This section states what the White House published, never whether it was significant.
No presidential actions dated this day were observed. The White House publishes on its own schedule; an action taken today may appear in a later digest, and one dated earlier is counted under PRESACT-EX-01 rather than listed as today's news.

Coverage Statement
This section is mandatory and appears in every digest, including days with no publications. 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. "Excluded" always names the mechanical rule; there are no unexplained omissions.

Methodology
Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (249efc1). 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 2026-08-11; 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.
