Tea Party Patriots Action on National Assessment of Educational Progress Scores: Dumb and Dumber
September 10, 2025 Atlanta, GA – This week, the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) results were released, showing that American students are testing at historic lows across K-12. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The NAEP results are a wake-up call for parents, educators, and policy experts: the Covid-era school closures, demanded by Dr. Fauci and the teachers' unions — clearly, the Dumb and Dumber of the education policy debate — have been a catastrophe for our students. We still haven't dug ourselves out of that hole. Additionally, the spread of CRT and other social justice indoctrination at the expense of genuine learning is a new front in the battle for our children's education that demands our full attention. “President Trump and Secretary McMahon understand the stakes, know how to fix these systemic problems, and will give our children a fighting chance. We stand with President Trump and Secretary McMahon as they clear the rot from left-wing education bureaucracies and restore our education system back to its original mission: educating the next generation of Americans, giving them the tools to succeed in a highly-competitive, fast-changing world."
Tea Party Patriots Action Praises Trump’s Use of Pocket Rescissions to Save Taxpayer Dollars
September 2, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Thursday, the Trump administration announced its first “pocket rescission,” to claw back taxpayer dollars that would have been spent unwisely. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We applaud President Trump and OMB Director Vought for showing bold leadership in using ‘pocket rescissions’ to save taxpayer dollars as part of their commitment to get America's fiscal house in order. ‘Pocket rescissions’ are a creative method for the President to use his executive power to prioritize spending, which in cases like this one means eliminating spending that is no longer needed. “Our federal budget is almost $7 trillion, and our annual budget deficit is close to $2 trillion. We simply cannot sustain that level of borrowing — or spending. The Trump administration is taking America's fiscal crisis seriously. The Democrats, by crying foul and misinforming the public about the President's powers, are once again trying to stand in the president’s way to spend taxpayer dollars unwisely — but they will not succeed."

Tea Party Patriots Action Praises Trump EO Ending Debanking of Conservatives
August 7, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, President Trump is expected to sign an executive order putting an end to the practice of "debanking," in which banks have been shutting down accounts for political reasons. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “This is an important victory for conservatives. President Trump has been a victim of debanking and so have many other conservative individuals and organizations. Tea Party Patriots Action has to go through endless hoops to ensure we have multiple banks accounts with many different banks in case we get debanked. It is a waste of time and energy to execute backup plans and backups of backups in case we become the victim of viewpoint discrimination. No American should be denied service by a bank for exercising his or her Constitutional rights. Denying conservatives the ability to participate in such a vital part of our economy is the very definition of un-American. President Trump's executive order will finally end this practice by punishing those institutions that engage in it. We are grateful for his leadership."

Tea Party Patriots Action Launching Nationwide, Three-Week Bus Tour to Rally Support for SAVE Act When Congress Reconvenes
Congress Should Attach SAVE Act to "Must-Pass" Legislation, Urges Grassroots Group August 6, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Action announced that it will be launching a nationwide, three-week bus tour to rally support for the SAVE Act, the landmark bill that would require states to obtain documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. The nation's largest Tea Party group is urging Congress to attach the SAVE Act to "must-pass" legislation when it reconvenes in September — either a budget resolution, an omnibus spending bill, or the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bus tour will begin on Monday, August 18 in Garden Grove, California, and will have about 20 stops before concluding with a rally at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, September 10. The group will hold events in at least 18 states and the District of Columbia. If you are interested in attending a bus tour event, please contact Justin Cooper at [email protected]. Jenny Beth Martin, Honorary Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action, released the following statement: "Tea Party Patriots Action is proud to be starting an ambitious, nationwide bus tour to rally support for the SAVE Act as necessary legislation to enhance the integrity of our elections. The House passed the SAVE Act on April 10, with every Republican and four Democrats voting for it. However, in order for the bill to become law, we need the Senate to pass it — and that means we’ll need at least seven Democrat votes. In order to do that, congressional leaders should attach the SAVE Act to 'must-pass' legislation when it reconvenes in September. “During our bus tour, we will be recruiting Americans to sign a petition urging congressional leaders to adopt that strategy. We will present those...
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Pass Rescissions Bill
"Bizarre & Disappointing" Senate Might Not Have Votes July 14, 2025 Atlanta, GA – This week, the Senate will vote on President Trump’s rescissions package that claws back $9.4 billion in funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and U.S. foreign aid. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Tea Party Patriots Action is urging every Senator to vote for President Trump’s rescissions package. It is bizarre and disappointing that any Senate Republican would threaten to vote 'no' on this common-sense bill. Our federal budget is nearing $7 trillion and our annual budget deficit is nearing $2 trillion. If we cannot claw back $9 billion in spending, then Congress is showing it cannot reach even the bare minimum of fiscal responsibility. “The President is taking the fiscal crisis seriously by sending this package to Congress and promising additional rescissions packages. The House has done its job, and it’s time for the Senate to step up. We need action. No excuses."

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Senate Passage of “One Big, Beautiful Bill”
July 1, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, the Senate passed President Trump's One Big, Beautiful Bill Act. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "The Senate has done its job, and we are now one step closer to preventing the biggest tax increase in American history. This bill extends the Trump tax cuts of 2017, which led to the greatest economic boom in U.S. history. Further, the bill eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, and makes other positive changes to the tax code. “This bill also features much-needed funding for border security, construction of the border wall, and other 'America First' priorities. “The Democrats who voted against the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' voted for a recession, because if we had a massive tax increase, as they want, it would send our economy into a tailspin.” For more information or to schedule an interview with Jenny Beth Martin, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Pass Rescissions Package
June 11, 2025 Atlanta, GA – This week, the House is expected to vote on President Trump’s rescissions package, which would codify $9.4 billion in spending cuts, including cuts to USAID and public broadcasting. In response, Jenny Beth Martin, Honorary Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action, issued the following statement: “Tea Party Patriots Action is urging every House Member to vote for President Trump's rescissions package. This is the first of what we expect will be multiple rescissions measures to eliminate wasteful spending. By bringing this bill to the House floor just days after President Trump released his proposal, Speaker Johnson is sending a message that Congress will promptly codify the spending cuts that DOGE identified — cuts that are being challenged by left-wing legal groups and left-wing judges in many cases. With a federal budget nearing $7 trillion and an annual budget deficit nearing $2 trillion, this week's bill, which cuts $9.4 billion, is a no-brainer and needs follow-through by the Administration and Congress. We are excited by the commitment that President Trump and DOGE have shown toward fiscal responsibility. Now Congress must seize the mantle and do its part."

Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Since day one, the Trump Administration has taken decisive action to restore law and order, protect American jobs, and bolster the U.S. economy. “One of the most striking early accomplishments has been the sharp decline in illegal border crossings. “The first 100 days of the Trump presidency have shown that real change is happening. This is the leadership the American people demanded, and it’s delivering real progress. Now is the time to double down and continue advancing policies that empower families, grow the economy, and put America first.” For more information or to schedule an interview with Jenny Beth Martin, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Confirm David Perdue as U.S. Ambassador to China
April 28, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots Action is urging the Senate to confirm David Perdue as the next U.S. Ambassador to China. Perdue, a former Senator from Georgia and a successful businessman with decades of experience in global trade, is the ideal candidate to represent American interests in China during this critical time. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We strongly urge every senator to support David Perdue’s confirmation as U.S. Ambassador to China. With his extensive experience in business and global trade, Perdue is uniquely qualified to handle the complex challenges China poses to our national security and economy. At a time when China’s aggressive policies continue to threaten American jobs, security, and global leadership, it is critical that we have a strong, effective representative in Beijing. “David Perdue’s leadership and understanding of the global economic landscape will ensure that American interests are protected, and our response to China’s actions remains resolute and strategic. He is the right choice to stand up for America in Beijing. "Tea Party Patriots Action continues to support policies that prioritize American interests and strengthen our global position. The Senate must act swiftly to confirm David Perdue and demonstrate a united front in addressing the growing threats from China."
