Transparency

Every source we watch

There is no mystery feed. Below is every source we watch, in two tiers, with what we take from each and the exact endpoint we read — so you can open the same data we do and check any item on the feed against its primary source. Every source is a government publication or a licensed legislative dataset. None of it is scraped from competitors, purchased from a broker, or generated.

What a source on this list does and does not mean. It means we read that publisher directly and keep what it emits, with its original payload and the time we first saw it. It does not mean everything it publishes becomes an alert. Most of what a regulatory sweep catches is real, sourced, and irrelevant to a practice — so what reaches the feed or an inbox is decided afterwards, by the review gate, not by this list.

The alert pipeline

The 11 feeds that produce the items on the feed, the state pages and the substance tracker. Each one is heartbeated by the pipeline, and this list is checked against those heartbeats in both directions — a feed that stopped running cannot stay advertised here, and a feed we run cannot stay unlisted.

Primary-source monitoring

A second tier, added on top of the pipeline above. A dedicated service polls 44 primary sources — 14 federal and 30 state — every 2 hours except where a row below says otherwise, and stores each item with the publisher’s original payload, a canonical link hash, and the time we first saw it. Every feed listed here was fetched and confirmed on the date shown against it; none of these endpoints was assumed or constructed.

These sources widen what we see. They do not change how anything is published: items land in staging, and the same human review decides what becomes an alert.

  • Federal Register — public inspection (FDA)

    U.S. Federal Registerverified 2026-08-22Primary Source Monitoring

    Documents filed for public inspection, which is where a rule or notice appears before its publication date. The earliest lawful view of federal rulemaking that exists.

    The Office of the Federal Register files documents here one to three days ahead of the date they publish under. Watching the desk rather than the finished issue is the difference between reading a rule on filing and reading it on publication.

    Criminal prosecutions of med spa owners and sellers of unapproved, misbranded or compounded drugs, including cases FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations brings.

    Replaced the FDA OCI press-release RSS feed on 2026-09-25: FDA stopped updating it on 2025-05-21 and its press page now points to a table of DOJ releases.

    Federal court dockets touching compounding, GLP-1 sales and aesthetic-practice enforcement — both government actions and private litigation.

    Litigation routinely precedes any regulatory notice. At registration the newest matches included a manufacturer suing a med spa over compounded GLP-1s — a dispute visible on the docket long before it would surface in a rulemaking.
