AD 2019-20-07 also required revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit flap retraction under icing conditions after landing and revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a new operation check. This AD was prompted by the manufacturer developing further actions to address the unsafe condition. This AD continues to require all requirements of AD 2019-20-07. This AD would also require replacing the LE outboard geared rotary actuator (GRA) with a LE outboard lockout actuator (LEOLA) at leading edge OB slat locations and revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate a new certification maintenance requirement (CMR), which terminates the retained requirements of AD 2019-20-07. This AD also removes airplanes from the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Action: Final rule. Dates: This AD is effective November 12, 2026.

#### United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

- **Charles Jones v. USA** (No. 20-13365; filed 2023-09-14) — The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Supreme Court has not announced a new rule of constitutional law applicable to the "residual clause" of the federal three-strikes law, 18 U.S.C. § 3559. As a result, the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider Charles Jones's second motion to vacate his life sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The court vacated the district court's order and remanded for dismissal of Jones's motion for lack of jurisdiction.
  - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit ruled the Supreme Court did not announce a new constitutional rule for part of the federal three-strikes law, so the lower court lacked authority to hear Charles Jones's motion and ordered its dismissal.

The claims arose from a mistaken-house raid by federal agents.
  - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit upheld judgment for the US but overturned an FBI agent's qualified immunity, as a Supreme Court decision clarified law for claims from federal agents' mistaken-house raid.

37 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: 27 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 2026-10-08, 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 2026-10-08, 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 2026-10-08. 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 (1da5f55c).
Editorial principles — primary sources only, opinion-agnostic prose, mechanical
party-blind selection, full coverage accounting — are defined in
[GUIDE.md](../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 2026-10-08; no upstream re-fetch
is required (GUIDE.md §5).

*Inference (GUIDE §6 r15, standing): The pipeline finalizes every
publication day with or without an inference provider. Model layers
are additive. When no inference was available for a day, the digest
states that fact in its own prose and nothing more; the cause is
operational detail recorded in the day's provenance and operations
report, not in the published digest. The Coverage Statement's
arithmetic reconciles regardless. Items are listed with their
citations whether or not they were summarized. A day finalized
without model layers is frozen like any other day; prose is not
backfilled into a frozen digest.*

*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](faq.html#fapds-three-clocks). 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.*
