Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds President Trump’s Executive Order to Begin Dismantling the Department of Education
March 20, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, President Trump will issue an executive order that will begin the process of dismantling the Department of Education. This long-overdue action sets the stage for Congress to finish the job and return control of education to states, parents, and local communities. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "President Trump’s executive order marks the beginning of the end for Washington’s top-down control of our schools. For decades, the Department of Education has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, fueled bureaucratic inefficiency, and imposed federal mandates that stifle innovation and competition in education. “Dismantling the Department of Education will allow states to allocate resources more efficiently, tailor education to their individual needs, and eliminate burdensome federal red tape that holds students back. Education should be driven by students’ needs, not Washington’s agenda." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Supports CR for Remainder of Fiscal Year
March 5, 2025 Atlanta, GA – President Trump has endorsed a Continuing Resolution (CR) through the remainder of the current fiscal year, which ends on September 30. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "On behalf of Tea Party Patriots Action and its members, supporters, and activists, I urge the Congress to pass a Continuing Resolution that funds the government at the FY 2024 levels for the duration of the fiscal year, as President Trump supports. This represents a spending freeze — and while we look forward to working with the White House and the Congress in the coming weeks and months to fashion a reconciliation bill and a long-term budget plan that works toward the balanced budget President Trump said last night he wanted to achieve, we recognize that the time and place for the budget savings necessary to achieve a balanced budget will be found in other legislation, and not in this Continuing Resolution."

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Senate Confirmation of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education
March 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The U.S. Senate has officially confirmed Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, marking a major victory for parents, students, and all Americans who believe in school choice, local control, and putting families first. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “For years, the Department of Education has trampled on parental rights and pushed a radical leftist agenda. With Linda McMahon at the helm, that ends today. “McMahon built WWE from the ground up, turning a small business into a billion-dollar success—because she knows how to fix broken systems, shake up bureaucracy, and get results. That’s exactly what she’ll do at the Department of Education. “As head of the Small Business Administration, she fought for parents, small businesses, and American workers—proving she has the backbone to stand up to Washington’s elite and put families first. “Now, she will fight to restore parental control in education, expand school choice, and put students before politics. Every American who believes in real education reform should celebrate this confirmation. For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

In a few words, it opens the door to Making America Great Again. “This Thursday is the sixteen-year anniversary of the Tea Party movement, and for our three million supporters, this is the best opportunity we've ever had to enact the policies that we have championed since Day One. “The President and House leaders are off to a fast start, and we trust them to continue building on the success they've had so far.

Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "For years, the FBI has been a tool of the political elite, targeting opponents of the Washington Swamp. With Kash Patel as Director, we finally have a leader who understands the depth of the problem — and more importantly, how to fix it. As a relentless crusader against government corruption, Patel's sole focus has been on providing transparency to all Americans. Now, Patel has the opportunity to clean house, rebuild trust, and ensure the FBI serves its true purpose: enforcing the law, not advancing a political agenda. “This confirmation is a victory for the American people and a warning to the entrenched bureaucrats who thought they could operate without accountability.

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Depoliticize Justice by Confirming Patel
February 19, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Kash Patel's nomination for FBI Director this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The FBI long has been in desperate need of massive reform. Consequently, we at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Kash Patel for FBI Director. “For more than a decade, the FBI has wrongly been going after law-abiding Americans for partisan purposes — for instance, the FBI has gone after Catholics, parents who attend school board meetings, and pro-life protesters who peacefully demonstrate outside abortion clinics, among many other Americans. That’s wrong, and it must stop. “We know a thing or two about being on the receiving end of such government abuse — Tea Party Patriots itself was a victim of the weaponization of government, during the Obama administration’s infamous IRS targeting scandal. “As a former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, Patel exposed the FBI’s abuse of power under the Obama administration. He has vowed to combat the corruption that’s eroded public trust in the bureau. He has the drive and determination to change the FBI into what it needs to be – a politically-neutral law enforcement agency, protecting every American from threats domestic and foreign. “Kash Patel is an outstanding nominee for FBI Director, and he deserves the support of every senator.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

As a former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, Patel exposed the FBI’s abuse of power under the Biden administration.

Our new poll shows broad, bipartisan support for President Trump's agenda – an important reality check for the Beltway elites who are already trying to thwart the president, and proof positive that Americans want to get control of Washington’s reckless borrowing and spending and prevent the massive tax hike Democrats want. "Our new poll shows that approximately four-in-five voters agree that Congress and the President must rein in Washington’s reckless borrowing and spending to lower inflation and bring down grocery prices (79% agree,12% disagree). Seven-in-ten voters support Congress and the President taking action to extend the current tax policy to prevent a tax hike (71% support, 15% oppose).

Three-in-five voters say that Congress has an obligation to the American people to secure the border before taking their extended recess in April (62% support, 25% oppose). A majority of voters say they expect to be better off over the next four years now that President Trump is in office (50% agree, 38% disagree).

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Confirm Bondi
February 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Pam Bondi’s nomination for Attorney General this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “It’s time to ensure that no American is targeted by a Department of Justice weaponized against political opponents, and to ensure that the law is applied equally to all. Consequently, we at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Pam Bondi for Attorney General. “After four years of the corrupt Merrick Garland at the helm, the Department of Justice is a mess. Pam Bondi will rededicate the DOJ to its original mission — fair and equal application of the law for all Americans. Under Attorney General Bondi, there will no longer be partisan-fueled lawfare against conservatives and law-abiding Americans, which is a top priority for our activists. “Tea Party Patriots Action worked closely with Bondi during President Trump's first impeachment trial, when she consistently joined our weekly calls to activists mobilizing opposition to impeachment. Those who watched Bondi's Senate confirmation hearing learned what Tea Party Patriots Action's activists already know: Pam Bondi is smart, honest, and fearless. She will be an excellent Attorney General." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “It’s time to drain the swamp.

He is the right man at the right time. “Spending and borrowing are out of control in Washington, and our activists are demanding significant changes to get our fiscal house in order.
