Boeing leads the week's convergence list — nine members of Congress traded $BA while federal contract activity moved on the same ticker — as executive actions landed on IT-outsourcing and automaker names that lawmakers were also trading. Meanwhile, insiders dumped roughly $600 million of $NVDA in a single day.

• $BA drew trades from nine members alongside a federal contract signal, the widest congressional-policy overlap in the data; executive-action signals hit names members were also trading, including $CTSH (4 members), $EPAM (2), $INFY (1), $GM and $F (3 each), $STLA (2), and $STZ (4).
• Nancy Pelosi disclosed a sale of $AAPL valued at $5M–$25M, and Chip Roy disclosed a purchase of $AESI in the same $5M–$25M band — an unusually large single-name buy for a House filing.
• Insider selling on 2026-09-22 was concentrated and enormous: four open-market sales of $NVDA totaling about $600.3M (Mark A. Stevens), 36 sales of $SNOW at ~$202.4M (including EVP Product Management Christian Kleinerman and Frank Slootman), and 20 sales of $CRWD at ~$75.8M (CEO George Kurtz, CFO Burt Podbere, plus two others). Going the other way: 32 insider purchases of $BBD at ~$35.4M, led by Denise and Rubens Aguiar Alvarez.
• Consensus congressional holdings show heavy committee-sector overlap — members trading sectors their committees oversee — with $MSFT at 23 members (55 buys/40 sells, 11 overlaps), $AAPL at 24 members (9 overlaps), $GOOGL at 14 members (8 overlaps, and a lopsided 11 buys to 21 sells), and $ABT at 13 members (16b/30s, 4 overlaps).
