Congressional portfolios keep bumping into the very agencies and actions that move their holdings, with NVIDIA the marquee overlap: 12 members traded $NVDA while it drew both an 8-K and Executive Action signal.

• $NVDA leads the convergence file — 12 members trading against an 8-K and Executive Action backdrop, plus one committee-sector overlap among its 20 buys / 19 sells; defense names $BA (7 members, Federal Contract + USTR signals) and $LMT (3 members, Executive Action + Federal Contract) show the same pattern where trades meet the agencies that oversee them.
• On the consensus board, $MSFT drew 18 members (41 buys / 28 sells) with 6 committee-sector overlaps and $AAPL another 18 members (28 buys / 13 sells, 3 overlaps) — even as Nancy Pelosi disclosed an $AAPL sale of $5M–$25M.
• Big-ticket individual filings: Chip Roy bought $AESI at $5M–$25M and Jefferson Shreve sold $RILA at $5M–$25M, both in the same range as Pelosi's $AAPL exit.
• In insider land, executives cashed out hard — $AVAH insiders sold ~$85.9M, $CRWV insiders (CEO Michael Intrator among them) ~$84.7M, and $OKLO co-founders Caroline Cochran and Jacob DeWitte ~$42.3M — while the rare buyers stood out: Uber purchased ~$20M of $LIME and Endeavor Blockchain bought ~$50.1M of $BGDE.
