Judicial Activity Source: United States Courts Opinions (USCOURTS): opinions observed 2026-10-29 by our collector; each opinion states its own issue date beside its listing ([how our clocks work](faq.html#fapds-three-clocks)). Completeness disclosure (standing): USCOURTS carries opinions from approximately 140 participating appellate, district, bankruptcy, and national federal courts. Unlike the Congressional Record and the Federal Register, which are the complete official record of their branches, USCOURTS is participation-based and is NOT the complete federal judicial record. Courts post opinions with delay — typically over several days — so a day's digest carries the opinions that became available that day, whatever date each was issued. ### 5.1 Appellate and National Court Opinions Tags: judicial · model keys: criminal appeals · federal appellate rulings · prisoner civil rights *In plain terms: Forty court items today, led by a First Circuit ruling that Massachusetts law governs in Wright v.

Johnson Saint-Louis** (No. 24-13084; filed 2026-10-28) — The Eleventh Circuit, in an unpublished per curiam opinion, affirmed the convictions of Johnson Saint-Louis for armed bank robbery under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and (d) and for brandishing a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(ii), and vacated the sentence and remanded for resentencing. The appellant argued cumulative trial error based on prosecutorial closing argument and insufficient identity evidence, that the armed-bank-robbery statute does not qualify as a crime of violence under § 924(c), and that a two-level physical restraint enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(4)(B) was improperly applied. The opinion describes a February 2021 robbery of a Bank of America ATM in Longwood, Florida, and a sentence of 87 months on Count 1 plus a consecutive 84 months on Count 2. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Johnson Saint-Louis's armed bank robbery and firearm brandishing convictions, vacated his sentence, and sent the case back for resentencing. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-24-13084 / USCOURTS-ca11-24-13084-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-24-13084/USCOURTS-ca11-24-13084-0) - **Nancy Salas v. Monsanto Company** (No. 24-14030; filed 2025-03-19) — In an unpublished per curiam order, the Eleventh Circuit granted Monsanto Company's unopposed motion for summary affirmance and affirmed a final judgment against it on Nancy Salas's Florida state-law negligent failure-to-warn claim concerning Roundup. The court held that its earlier decision in Carson v. Monsanto Co., 92 F.4th 980 (11th Cir. 2024), controls, concluding that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) did not preempt the claim. The court reasoned that Florida law, like Georgia law, requires pesticide manufacturers to warn users of potential health and safety risks, paralleling FIFRA. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit granted Monsanto's unopposed request to affirm a judgment against it on Nancy Salas's Florida claim that it failed to warn about Roundup risks, ruling federal pesticide law did not preempt the claim. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-24-14030 / USCOURTS-ca11-24-14030-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-24-14030/USCOURTS-ca11-24-14030-0) - **Nancy Salas v.

The Supreme Court had granted certiorari, vacated the prior Eleventh Circuit judgment, and remanded for further consideration in light of Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, 609 U.S. 371 (2026). Applying Durnell, the court held that Salas's state common law failure-to-warn claim is preempted by federal law. - *In plain terms:* On remand from the Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the judgment against Monsanto on a joint request for decision without trial, holding under Monsanto Co. v.

The court found no abuse of discretion under Rule 60(b)(2), because the appellant did not show that the newly discovered evidence would be material or would change the basis for dismissal, and under Rule 60(b)(6), because no extraordinary circumstances were shown. The underlying complaint alleged stalking, noise-based harassment, delayed postal deliveries, and discrimination by a university bursar's office, and the district court had dismissed it for failure to state a claim. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the denial of pro se plaintiff Cyrille Kouambo Beckodro's second request to reconsider dismissal of his complaint against John Doe defendants, finding no material new evidence and no extraordinary circumstances. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-12140 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-12140-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-12140/USCOURTS-ca11-25-12140-0) - **Ramon Ruiz v. City of Miami Beach, et al** (No. 25-13239; filed 2026-10-28) — In an unpublished per curiam opinion, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal with prejudice of Ramon Ruiz's first amended complaint as a shotgun pleading, finding that amendment would be futile because the false-arrest claim could not state a claim. The underlying suit arose from Ruiz's arrest for being on a Miami Beach public beach after its closing hours under city code § 82-2, and named the City of Miami Beach, arresting officers, Miami-Dade County, and court personnel. The court also held that the derivative search, bench-warrant, and Monell claims failed with the false-arrest claim, and it dismissed the appeal of the restricted-filer order for lack of jurisdiction. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal with prejudice of Ramon Ruiz's amended complaint, a disorganized pleading that mixes claims together, and dismissed his appeal of a restricted-filer order for lack of jurisdiction. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-13239 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-13239-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13239/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13239-0) - **Yoel Nunez, et al v. Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Cust, et al** (No. 25-13646; filed 2026-10-28) — In an unpublished per curiam opinion, the Eleventh Circuit dismissed in part and affirmed in part the dismissal of a counseled 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition filed by a married couple from Cuba who had been subjected to expedited removal. The court held that the challenges to their detention were moot because the petitioners were removed from the United States during the appeal, and that the district court lacked jurisdiction over their expedited-removal claims under INA § 242(a)(2) and (e)(2), 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2) and (e)(2). The court also found that the petitioners had abandoned several merits arguments by failing to raise them adequately on appeal, and it granted the respondents' motion for judicial notice of the removal documentation. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit partly dismissed and partly affirmed the dismissal of a married Cuban couple's habeas petition, finding detention claims moot because they were removed during the appeal and the court lacked jurisdiction over their expedited-removal claims. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-13646 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-13646-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13646/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13646-0) - **Josue Batista v.

The court held that the complaint did not plausibly allege intentional race-based discrimination, that the § 1982 claim was properly dismissed and not improperly merged into the § 1981 analysis, and that further amendment would be futile. The court vacated the dismissal in part and remanded so the district court can first consider whether any retaliation claims were raised and plausibly alleged, affirmed in part, and denied Saba's motion for sanctions. - *In plain terms:* In an opinion filed October 28, 2026, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed in part and vacated in part the dismissal of pro se plaintiff Josue Batista's race discrimination complaint against Michael Saba, remanding so the district court can first consider any retaliation claims. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-26-10458 / USCOURTS-ca11-26-10458-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-26-10458/USCOURTS-ca11-26-10458-0) #### United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit - **In re: Wenkman** (No. 26-01424; filed 2026-10-28) — The Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's rejection of all pending claims (1-20) of U.S. Patent Application No. 18/424,833, which relates to a computer-implemented method for bartering groceries and other goods for silver and gold.

The appeal also challenged the Board's written-description rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112(a). - *In plain terms:* The Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's rejection of all 20 pending claims in U.S. Patent Application No. 18/424,833 for bartering goods for silver and gold, agreeing claim 1 is directed to an abstract idea under 35 U.S.C. § 101. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca13-26-01424 / USCOURTS-ca13-26-01424-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca13-26-01424/USCOURTS-ca13-26-01424-0) #### United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - **USA v. Martinez-Ornelas** (No. 25-20488; filed 2026-10-28) — In an unpublished per curiam opinion filed October 28, 2026, the Fifth Circuit vacated one special condition of supervised release imposed on Valentin Martinez-Ornelas following his methamphetamine sentence and remanded for conforming changes to the written judgment. The court held that it had appellate jurisdiction because the unadjudicated Count Three was dismissed during the appeal, and found that the written requirement to report within 72 hours to the nearest probation office after reentry conflicted with the district court's oral pronouncement. The court vacated only that reporting requirement and remanded with instructions to conform the written judgment to the oral pronouncement. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Fifth Circuit vacated only one supervised-release condition for Valentin Martinez-Ornelas, a requirement to report to probation within 72 hours after reentry that conflicted with the oral sentence, and remanded to conform the written judgment. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-25-20488 / USCOURTS-ca5-25-20488-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-25-20488/USCOURTS-ca5-25-20488-0) - **USA v.

The court held that the robbery of cash belonging to a Denny's restaurant satisfied the interstate commerce element because the business purchased out-of-state goods, that only a de minimis effect on interstate commerce is required, and that the intended victim's identity was not relevant to that element. The court also held that the denial of a U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 acceptance-of-responsibility reduction was not without foundation, because the defendant challenged the sufficiency of the evidence on an element of the offense. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Fifth Circuit affirmed Kelvin Patton's bench-trial convictions for Hobbs Act robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, along with his 146-month sentence. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-25-20494 / USCOURTS-ca5-25-20494-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-25-20494/USCOURTS-ca5-25-20494-0) - **USA v.

United States. The appeal was dismissed. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Fifth Circuit dismissed Ryan Stevens's appeal of his 168-month above-guideline sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm, enforcing the appeal waiver in his plea agreement. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-25-51048 / USCOURTS-ca5-25-51048-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-25-51048/USCOURTS-ca5-25-51048-0) - **USA v.

Squire. The court declined to hold the appeal, stating that it remains bound by existing precedent absent an intervening Supreme Court or en banc decision, and denied the government's alternative motion for an extension as moot. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Fifth Circuit affirmed Gregory Scott Cook's sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, declining to pause the appeal for the full-court decision in United States v.

George Sisk** (No. 25-01499; filed 2026-10-28) — The Seventh Circuit granted appointed counsel's motion to withdraw and dismissed the appeal of George Sisk, who pleaded guilty without a plea agreement to Hobbs Act robbery, a firearm offense under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), and felon-in-possession under § 922(g)(1). Sisk was sentenced to an aggregate 156-month prison term, and the court's order, issued under Anders v. California, found no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. The order addresses the constitutionality of § 922(g)(1), the Rule 11 plea colloquy, competency, the denial of pre-plea motions, sentence reasonableness, and an ineffective-assistance claim reserved for collateral review. The order is nonprecedential. - *In plain terms:* The Seventh Circuit allowed appointed counsel to withdraw and dismissed George Sisk's appeal of his 156-month sentence, finding no non-frivolous issues for appeal; the order does not set binding precedent. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca7-25-01499 / USCOURTS-ca7-25-01499-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca7-25-01499/USCOURTS-ca7-25-01499-0) - **USA v.

Burke for bank robbery under 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and his 20-year sentence, which was the statutory maximum. Burke argued that the evidence was insufficient, particularly the accuracy of GPS tracking device data tied to marked cash he received from a teller. The court found that testimony from the teller, the credit union president, and the arresting officer, along with photographs and surveillance video, was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The order is nonprecedential. - *In plain terms:* The Seventh Circuit affirmed Troy D. Burke's bank robbery conviction and 20-year sentence, the statutory maximum, finding the evidence sufficient, including teller and officer testimony and surveillance video; the order does not set binding precedent. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca7-25-02512 / USCOURTS-ca7-25-02512-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca7-25-02512/USCOURTS-ca7-25-02512-0) - **Steven Ingalls, Jr. v.

The defendants were Centurion Health of Indiana, LLC, Dr. Samuel Byrd, and grievance specialist Shelby Crichfield at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility.

The order is nonprecedential. - *In plain terms:* The Seventh Circuit affirmed a pre-trial ruling in favor of Centurion Health of Indiana, LLC, Dr. Samuel Byrd, and grievance specialist Shelby Crichfield in Steven Ingalls, Jr.'s medical care suit, finding no deliberate indifference to his medical needs; the order does not set binding precedent. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca7-25-02597 / USCOURTS-ca7-25-02597-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca7-25-02597/USCOURTS-ca7-25-02597-0) - **USA v.

Pullett's appointed counsel filed an Anders brief stating that the appeal was frivolous and moved to withdraw.

The court held that private Chapter 7 trustees are not federal officers or employees and therefore are not subject to § 1361. The court also held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by leaving unaddressed an amended petition filed without leave of court on the same day final judgment was entered. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Seventh Circuit affirmed dismissal of Candie Yer Herr's petition asking a court to order a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee to act, holding private trustees are not federal officers or employees; the order does not set binding precedent. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca7-25-03093 / USCOURTS-ca7-25-03093-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca7-25-03093/USCOURTS-ca7-25-03093-0) - **Kelvin Smith v.

Kohler Co., et al., No. 25-3248, the Seventh Circuit issued a nonprecedential order on October 28, 2026, affirming the dismissal with prejudice of a pro se complaint alleging religious discrimination under Title VII based on a COVID-19 testing requirement. The court held that the amended complaint did not connect the objection to the testing requirement to a religious belief or practice, and that the district court could dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) after the plaintiff failed to file a second amended complaint as ordered. The court also held that a pro se litigant cannot represent other parties or a putative class, and that the district court acted within its discretion in declining to consider untimely and noncompliant filings. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Seventh Circuit affirmed dismissal with prejudice of Kelvin Smith's pro se religious discrimination complaint against Kohler Co. over a COVID-19 testing requirement, citing failure to tie his objection to a religious belief. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca7-25-03248 / USCOURTS-ca7-25-03248-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca7-25-03248/USCOURTS-ca7-25-03248-0) - **Patricia Tillman v.

The court held that a nonretroactive change in law does not constitute an extraordinary and compelling reason under Rutherford v. United States, 146 S. Ct. 1320 (2026), and that the medical conditions and other arguments presented were insufficient to support release. The court also noted that, having found no extraordinary and compelling reason, the district court was not required to determine the extent of any reduction under the sentencing factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Seventh Circuit affirmed denial of Kevin M.

The court held that the plaintiff did not prove registration of the works and that the short phrases at issue, including Pack Attack, Pack Is Back, and Go Pack Go, are slogan-like combinations of ordinary words that are not protected by copyright under 37 C.F.R. § 202.1(a). The court also noted that the antitrust claims in the complaint were not pursued on appeal. - *In plain terms:* On October 28, 2026, the Seventh Circuit affirmed dismissal of Calvin McMillan's copyright complaint against the National Football League, holding that short slogan-like Green Bay Packers phrases such as 'Pack Attack' are not protected by copyright. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-28) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca7-26-01957 / USCOURTS-ca7-26-01957-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca7-26-01957/USCOURTS-ca7-26-01957-0) #### United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - **T.E.N.

Wilson's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint against two Kansas correctional officers, along with the denial of Thomas L. Wilson's motion for appointment of counsel.

titles only in the pilot) 50 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: 28 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 2026-10-29, 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 2026-10-29, 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 2026-10-29. 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. --- ## Terms Used Today - *engrossed* — the official text of a bill as passed by one chamber - *enrolled* — the final text of a bill passed by both chambers, sent to the President - *interim final rule* — a rule that takes effect without waiting for public comment, though comments are still accepted - *motion to proceed* — a Senate vote on whether to start considering a bill - *notice of proposed rulemaking* — the formal announcement of a draft regulation - *proposed rule* — a draft regulation published for public comment before adoption - *safety zone* — a temporary area of water that vessels may not enter without permission - *state implementation plan* — a state's federally-approved plan for meeting national air quality standards --- ## 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.* **Sync summary:** BILLS: completed 2026-10-30T04:00:06Z · CREC: completed 2026-10-30T04:00:05Z · FR: completed 2026-10-30T04:00:07Z · PLAW: completed 2026-10-30T04:00:09Z · USCOURTS: completed 2026-10-30T04:00:08Z; last watermarks as listed in the header. | Collection | Packages observed | Granules/documents | Summarized | Counted only | Excluded by rule | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | CREC | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | BILLS | 6 | — | 0 | 6 | 0 | | FR | 1 | 102 | 15 | 87 | 0 | | USCOURTS | 522 | 909 | 40 | 869 | 0 | | PLAW | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | AGENCYPR | 258 | 258 | 0 | 230 | 28 | | VOTES | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | BILLACTIONS | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | PRESACT | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **Exclusion rules applied today:** - FR-EX-01: notices counted, not individually summarized — 87 item(s) - USCOURTS-EX-01: district court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 852 item(s) - USCOURTS-EX-02: bankruptcy court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 17 item(s) - AGENCYPR-EX-01: release dated outside this day by the agency (feed backfill / newly activated source) — counted, not listed — 28 item(s) **Source graphics:** 56 graphic(s) flagged across today's documents: 56 content graphic(s) (equations, forms, maps, annex pages) and 0 boilerplate (signatures/seals, excluded by rule FR-GPH-01). Of the content graphics, 0 were analyzed via vision pass (vision pass not yet implemented) and 4 embedded above; the remainder are viewable in the cited source PDFs. **Known gaps:** 7 package(s) were not fetched and are not covered above; courts post opinions with delay; opinions filed on this date may appear in later syncs. *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 2026-10-29.* --- ## Methodology Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (b66a7f63). 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 2026-10-29; 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.* License: this digest's compilation and prose are [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) (credit "FAPD — Free Agentic Publication Digester"); quoted official government text is public domain (17 U.S.C. § 105).
