Congressional portfolios keep bumping into the very agencies and actions that move their holdings, with defense and pharma names drawing crowds on both the trading floor and the policy calendar.

• $NVDA led the convergence pile-up: 12 members traded the chipmaker (20 buys, 19 sells) even as it drew signals from an 8-K and Executive Action — the same name topping the consensus board with 1 committee-sector overlap.
• $BA saw 7 members trading against a backdrop of Federal Contract and USTR signals, while $LMT drew 3 members alongside Executive Action and Federal Contract activity — defense trades overlapping with defense policy.
• Nancy Pelosi disclosed a $5M–$25M sale of $AAPL — one of 18 members swarming Apple (28 buys, 13 sells) — while Chip Roy bought $5M–$25M of $AESI and Jefferson Shreve sold $5M–$25M of $RILA.
• On the insider side, $CRWV drew 25 open-market sales (~$84.7M) led by CEO Michael Intrator, $AVAH saw 6 sales (~$85.9M), and $OKLO's co-founders Caroline Cochran and Jacob DeWitte were among 16 sellers (~$42.3M); Uber, meanwhile, made a lone $20M open-market purchase of $LIME.
