The clearest formulation of the Trump administration pitch to the average American I can articulate is: "You should accept an indeterminate but significant amount of economic pain short term, and higher prices and less choice long term, in order to live in a country that has more factories in it."

“Entire neighborhoods were conquered” is the kind of thing the crazy guy on the street corner says. It’s divorced from reality. Yet there are millions of people who legitimately believe it and panic at the idea of going into a city because they think Tren de Aragua is lurking around every corner.

The White House says Elon Musk is not administrator of DOGE and that he’s merely a Senior Advisor to President Trump. Incredible but not surprising. Reminds me of the movie Casino when DeNiro played a Casino boss but said he was food and beverage manager to avoid scrutiny.

1, Joshua Fisher, declare, under penalty of perjury, as follows:
1. I make these statements based on personal knowledge and knowledge obtained in the
course of my official duties.
2. I am the Director of the Office of Administration. that capacity, I am personally involved in the appointment of special govemment employees. I have personal knowledge of Mr. Elon Musk's employment status with the federal govemment.
3. Mr. Musk is an employce of the White House Office. He holds that position as a non-
career Special Govemment Employee.
4. In that job, Mr. Musk is a Senior Advisor to the President. It is not uncommon for
the President to have Senior Advisors who are SGEs. For instance, Anita Dunn was an influential
Senior Advisor to President Biden, while serving as SGE.
5. In his role as a Senior Advisor to the President, Mr. Musk has no greater authority than other senior White House advisors. Like other senior White House advisors, Mr. Musk has no

actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself. Mr. Musk can only advise the
President and communicate the President's directives.
6. The U.S. DOGE Service is a component of the Executive Office of the President.
The U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization is within the U.S. DOGE Service. Both are separate from the White House Office. Mr. Musk is an employee in the White House Office. He is not an employee of the U.S. DOGE Service or U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization. Mr.
Musk is not the U.S. DOGE Service Administrator.

The U.S. Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute we usually receive, which has disrupted our call systems.
