Tea Party Patriots Action Urges “No” Vote on War Powers Resolution
January 7, 2026 Atlanta, GA – This week, the Senate is expected to vote on a War Powers resolution that would prohibit President Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela without explicit congressional authorization. In anticipation of that vote, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Every senator should vote 'no' on the War Powers resolution. President Trump has wielded authority consistent with his Constitutional powers. Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was under indictment on federal drug trafficking and weapons charges, and Operation Absolute Resolve was an extraction mission designed to capture him and move him to the United States, where he could face justice for his crimes. We should be celebrating Maduro's capture — he was a narco-terrorist responsible for the deaths of untold numbers of Americans. “President Trump took bold action consistent with his 'America First' foreign policy, especially as it pertains to narcotics and illegal immigration. “The Senate should vote down the War Powers resolution and show its support for President Trump's leadership, our brave men and women in uniform who planned and executed the mission, and the prospect of better days ahead for the long-suffering people of Venezuela."

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges “No” Vote on ObamaCare Premium Subsidy Extension
January 7, 2026 Atlanta, GA – This week, the House will vote on legislation that would renew for three years the Covid-era Obamacare premium subsides that expired on December 31. The vote was forced on Speaker Johnson through a discharge petition signed by all House Democrats and four House Republicans. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Obamacare broke our healthcare system, as we at Tea Party Patriots Action have been warning about for over 15 years. Through this bill to extend taxpayer-paid subsidies to insurance companies, the Democrats are demanding a bailout worth about $100 billion, no strings attached. The Senate already rejected a three-year extension of these Obamacare premium subsidies. Additionally, the House has already passed legislation that reforms our healthcare system in a patient-centered, market-based manner. “Four House Republicans have signed the discharge petition to force this week's vote. No additional Republicans should join them in voting for it. We should be rolling back Obamacare, not extending it." In November, Ms. Martin authored a Daily Caller op-ed titled On Obamacare, We Conservatives Were Right All Along.

As Senate Judiciary Committee Investigates, Tea Paty Patriots Action Urges Judge Boasberg Impeachment
January 7, 2026 Atlanta, GA – Today, the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights will hold a hearing entitled "Impeachment: Holding Rogue Judges Accountable." U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg will be among the judges that Senators will examine during the hearing. Judge Boasberg wrongly barred President Trump from deporting Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, and directed officials to halt or turn around any planes carrying illegal aliens covered by the order. In anticipation of the hearing, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Judicial independence does not provide immunity from common sense. When a federal judge consistently puts his own political ideology over his sworn duty to defend the Constitution, he puts himself at risk of impeachment. In the case of Judge Boasberg, his repeated attempts to stonewall the Trump administration's legitimate enforcement of our immigration laws were later overruled by the Supreme Court, and rightfully so — because Boasberg is an ideologue, not a fair arbiter of justice. “We have since learned that Judge Boasberg approved secret FBI subpoenas and invasive surveillance tactics that allowed the Biden Administration to spy on President Trump and his allies as part of the FBI’s 'Arctic Frost' operation. From Boasberg's standpoint, the weaponization of government represented by 'Arctic Frost' was a feature, not a bug. “Congress has a duty to impeach judges who abuse their power. Judge Boasberg has clearly done so and should be removed from office. Other left-wing judges who block legitimate Trump administration actions may also merit impeachment, but Boasberg is the most deserving and he should be removed expeditiously." In November 2025, Ms. Martin authored a Daily Caller op-ed urging Congress to impeach Judge Boasberg. For more information or to schedule...
Tea Party Patriots Action Slams Democrats for Shutting Down Government
September 30, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Last night, Senate Democrats voted against taking up a clean continuing resolution to keep the federal government open while negotiations over a longer-term spending plan continue. Consequently, unless Senate Democrats change their minds today, the federal government will begin a temporary partial shutdown beginning at 12:01 am tomorrow morning. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Last night, Senate Democrats voted to shut down the federal government. They are playing politics, and it will backfire. “Senate Majority Leader Thune is rightfully holding the line against the Democrats' outrageous demand for an extension of the extended Obamacare premium tax credits. These tax credits were always meant to be temporary, and extending them would cost $350 billion over the next decade. In addition, the Democrats are also demanding a restoration of the Medicaid savings the Congress enacted just a few months ago. Restoring that wasteful spending — which, among other things, included taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens — would cost another trillion dollars. But it doesn’t stop there — Democrats are also demanding the president give up his authority to rescind funds previously approved by the Congress, an authority presidents have employed for centuries to save taxpayers money. Insisting on attaching these measures to a continuing resolution — a short-term spending bill meant to keep government open while negotiations continue — is an unacceptable demand, and they know it. “The Democrats' liberal base is still annoyed at Minority Leader Schumer for not saying ‘no’ to President Trump every chance he gets. Schumer wants to keep his job as Minority Leader, and he wants to avoid a primary challenge from his left when he runs for reelection in 2028. Let’s keep that in mind to put...
Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Georgia Legal Ruling on Trump-Fani Willis Case, Urges Further Action
September 16, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, the Georgia Supreme Court denied Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' appeal to resume prosecuting President Trump and others for wildly inappropriate charges related to alleged election interreference in Georgia in the aftermath of the 2020 election. This means the state attorney would have to take the case if it were to continue. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “This is a very big win for President Trump and the Georgians who were wrongly and maliciously prosecuted by Fani Willis, who abused her office and lied about it under oath. The President and the others she prosecuted are not guilty of 'election interference.' Indeed, Willis herself engaged in election interference by trying to put the leader of the Republican Party behind bars during the 2024 campaign on phony charges. “The Prosecuting Attorney Council should move to dismiss Willis' case against the President and his allies, and end this nightmare once and for all. And the defendants’ legal fees and costs should be reimbursed. “Furthermore, Willis should be investigated to determine if she may have committed crimes in her witch hunt against President Trump and his allies. If she did, she must be held accountable for such actions." For more information or to schedule an interview with Jenny Beth Martin, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
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."
