As we come to the close of debate on the bill that creates the biggest transfer of wealth in American history - from the poor to the very rich - the American people are about to get a barrage of disinformation and half-truths from Republicans. Let’s fact check these claims 🧵.

The crazy part about all of this "newly declassified" information is that Speaker Johnson and Republicans are still protecting Trump and blocking the release of the Epstein files.
🧵 New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President @realDonaldTrump's directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration

.@SpeakerJohnson: "No one in Congress is blocking Epstein documents. No one in Congress is doing that. What we are doing here, Republicans, are preventing Democrats from making a mockery of the rules committee process because we refuse to engage in their political charade."

ICYMI: Speaker Johnson and Republicans wrote a toothless resolution on the Epstein files and now won't even bring *that* up for a vote so that they can give Donald Trump more time to distract the American people from his broken promises and secrets.
News —Speaker Mike Johnson shuts the door on a House vote before August recess on a resolution calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. “No,” he told me when asked if there’d be a vote before recess. Says wants to give administration “space” to deal with issue

Tariffs are a tax on consumers. This latest round will increase costs on a product millions of Americans use every day and contradicts the empty promises by Trump and Republicans to lower your costs.

"Brazil needs to pay their fair share. These tariffs accomplish that.". Regardless of how you feel about the trade relationship we have with Brazil, these tariffs won't be paid out of pocket by the Brazilian farmers and corporations. They'll be passed onto the consumers: us.

"Good. We'll buy American coffee beans.". Our country produces a fraction of the aforementioned amounts of coffee Americans drink every day. When you decrease supply, prices skyrocket.

Roasted coffee prices are up 12.7% and instant coffee jumped 16.3% in June compared to last year. With Trump announcing a 50% tax on imports from Brazil, on top of the 10% tax that already exists, your morning coffee is about to get a lot more expensive.

President Trump plans to levy a 50% tariff on all goods from Brazil — the source of about 30% of U.S. coffee imports. This looming tariff threat has sent shock waves through the U.S. coffee industry.

If only there was bipartisan legislation to provide legal protections for the very immigrants all of these Republicans are quietly advocating for!.
Trump administration officials insist there will be “no amnesty.” Republicans told NOTUS that behind the scenes, they’re advocating for some immigrants to stay.
