STRUCTURAL: Direct executive branch exposure via a Trump stock holding (`get_executive_branch_exposure.by_ticker[0].holdings[0]`). EVIDENTIARY: Active congressional trading by one member (6 trades, 1 large buy) but offset by net-zero corporate insider activity (`get_corporate_insider_signal.total_buys: 0`) and no lobbying or federal contracts. Net: A single, low-value executive holding and active but mixed-directional congressional interest against a backdrop of no other political infrastructure.
