Risk Digest
The flagship, near-daily updated database of documented AI hallucination and sanction incidents in legal proceedings worldwide. Each entry is a structured record, not a news article: jurisdiction, court, judge (if named), the AI tool implicated, penalty amount, ruling date, a confirmed-vs-reported status flag, and a link to the primary court order. Serves the 'check risk' and 'track regulation' tasks: a lawyer, risk manager, or journalist scanning for new sanctions, a specific jurisdiction, or a specific tool. Excludes narrative commentary, procedural how-to guidance (belongs in Workflows), and rule text summaries (belongs in Regulation). This group is the site's differentiation engine: freshness and per-record sourcing are the moat, so every record must carry a last-verified timestamp distinct from the ruling date.
Confirmed
A court order or docket entry has been independently verified.

The announced charges against USPS letter carrier Lekaysha Lockhart separate into a Florida state felony stack and a latent federal exposure under 18 U.S.C. § 1709 that exists only because she is a postal employee. This record decodes the named charges, flags the statutory mapping and federal track as analysis pending charging documents, and notes that no federal charge has been announced as of August 3, 2026.

No court or ethics panel has adjudicated the abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller, and with House Ethics, the Office of Congressional Conduct, Speaker Johnson, and Gov. DeWine all deferring, the electoral calendar — including Ohio's August 5 ballot-replacement deadline — has become the only operative accountability mechanism. This record tracks each institutional response with confirmed-versus-reported flags and cross-links to the companion Miller litigation records.

With the FTC's $13.4B Otezla divestiture against BMS as precedent, the practical question is what divestitures and conditions clearance would require, not whether it is possible.

Rep. Brandon Gill's "birth tourism bill" (H.R. 9854) is not a visa-enforcement measure: it would rewrite INA section 301(a) (8 U.S.C. 1401(a)) to exclude U.S.-born children of statutory "invaders" from citizenship and bar judicial review of invasion determinations. This record separates H.R. 9854 from the Ban Birth Tourism Act (H.R. 9919/S.1812) and verifies its status as introduced, not enacted, as of August 3, 2026.

This franchise-risk assessment separates what changes today from the two triggers that history shows would be needed to force divestiture.
