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...

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."

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."

"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."

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."
