Where Congress trades, the regulators aren't far behind: eight members traded $GS while the CFTC, FTC, and SEC all lit up on the same name, the standout in a week thick with lawmaker-versus-oversight overlaps.

• $GS drew eight members trading against a triple-agency backdrop (CFTC, FTC, SEC), while $BA (7 members) overlaps with Federal Contract and USTR signals and $COIN (3 members) sits alongside CFTC and SEC activity — a busy stretch of Congress-meets-policy convergence.
• $MSFT topped the consensus board with 18 members trading (41 buys/28 sells) and six committee-sector overlaps — members trading a sector their committees oversee — with $AAPL close behind at 19 members and $ABT logging two such overlaps on a net-selling 13b/20s.
• Notable single filings: Nancy Pelosi disclosed a sale of $AAPL ($5M–$25M), Chip Roy a buy of $AESI ($5M–$25M), and Jefferson Shreve a sale of $RILA ($5M–$25M).
• On the insider side, July 13 brought heavy open-market selling — $SN insiders unloaded ~$1.2B (Wang Xuning), $STNG ~$957M, and Silver Lake entities dumped ~$438M of $DELL across 210 sales — while $COE bucked the trend with ~$18.6M in purchases led by CEO Jack Jiajia Huang.
