Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Supreme Court Ruling Striking Down Biden’s Unconstitutional Student Loan Bailout Scam
Atlanta, GA – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Biden administration’s $400 billion student loan bailout. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement: “We thank the six justices who stood strong for one of the Founders’ foundational doctrines – the separation of powers, a principle that is necessary to the prevention of a tyrannical government.“Before today, the Supreme Court had already overturned several major Biden policies because the Court determined that Biden had overstepped his Constitutional authority and usurped congressional powers. Those cases included the eviction moratorium, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, and the Covid vaccine mandate for private employers, among others.“Congress never authorized the president to cancel the student loan debt of some 43 million debtors. In fact, Congress explicitly chose not to authorize it – not once, but twice.“And within the last two weeks, both chambers of Congress explicitly voted to reaffirm their own power of the purse, and repeal Biden’s student loan bailout. Even more, the legislation they passed would prevent the Secretary of Education from launching any similar program in the future.“This was a high-stakes case and the Court decided correctly. Our founders agonized over the deliberate separation of powers. The Supreme Court rightfully protected that key principle.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds House for Passing Save Our Gas Stoves Act
Atlanta, GA – Today, the US House passed the Save Our Gas Stoves Act. This bill prohibits the Secretary of Energy from implementing the proposed rule, “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Conventional Cooking Products.” In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We thank the House Members who voted for the Save Our Gas Stoves Act. The Biden administration’s ‘green agenda,’ which includes banning gas stoves, is an outrageous left-wing assault on everyday American life. Incandescent lightbulbs, for example, are on the verge of extinction, thanks to a Biden rule taking effect July 1 that will raise their cost and make their manufacture prohibitively expensive. Washing machines and air conditioners are also on the Biden hit list – all to placate environment radicals. The House did its job today, but we need to sustain a grassroots campaign to hold the administration accountable. “Tea Party Patriots Action is leading this fight. Shortly after Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka, Jr. proposed a gas stove ban, TPPA launched a ‘Call to Action’ urging our members and supporters to leave comments opposing new regulations. We helped generate 4,448 comments. This represented almost half the comments left for the commission. We won’t quit until gas stoves and other staples of everyday American life are safe from government overreach.” In January, RealClearPolitics published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, They’re Coming for Your Gas Stoves and They’ve Already Started.

Tea Party Patriots Action Announces Release of New Documentary, Surviving Socialism
Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) announced the release of their new documentary, Surviving Socialism. This film features survivors of socialism who share their personal stories and their poignant warnings for the United States. The film also features young Americans – Candace Owens, Scott Presler, Morgan Zegers, and Maggie VandenBerghe – who inspire us to fight against the socialist tide. You can watch the film for free here. Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “When we began making the film, a recent survey revealed that 70% of young people would support socialist candidates. This was alarming because if young people knew the effects of socialism, they would understand that it consistently results in economic failure, loss of basic human freedoms, and the deaths of tens of millions. This is why our documentary, Surviving Socialism, is necessary and timely. The people who escaped socialist countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and the Soviet Union need to be heard and their warnings for the United States deserve the largest audience. The more people truly understand what happened in failed socialist counties and the parallels that are happening in the United States today, the better our chances are to save our country.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Trump Indictment
Atlanta, GA – According to news accounts, former President Trump has been indicted on seven counts in the special counsel’s documents probe. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Once again, Democrats are weaponizing the government against former President Trump. This is an appalling abuse of power that should outrage every American. First, Democrat DA Alvin Bragg manipulated existing law to prosecute Trump in a case where the statute of limitations had already expired. Now, President Biden’s Justice Department is prosecuting Trump for allegedly mishandling classified information when it’s already a matter of public record that Biden and Hillary Clinton did the same thing, and in the Clinton case, much more egregiously. The FBI whitewashed Clinton’s crimes and the FBI will surely do the same thing for Biden. The Democrats are playing a dangerous game, siccing law enforcement on their political opponents. This is not the America we know. It’s a disgrace.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Pass Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act
Atlanta, GA – Today, the US House is expected to vote on the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act. This bill prevents the Consumer Product Safety Commission from regulating gas stoves as a banned federal product or issuing a product safety standard that makes gas stoves substantially more expensive. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “There is no question the Biden administration wants to ban gas stoves, so Congress needs to step in before it’s too late. We urge every member of Congress to take action now to save our stoves from the Biden administration’s radical ‘green agenda,’ which is making daily life more expensive and more inconvenient for hard-working Americans. With inflation already out of control because of the administration’s reckless spending and anti-growth policies, Team Biden should be embarrassed to propose new gas stove regulations. “Shortly after Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Trumka proposed a gas stove ban, Tea Party Patriots Action launched a ‘Call to Action’ urging our members and supporters to leave comments opposing new regulations. We helped generate 4,448 comments opposing new regulations. This represented almost half the comments left for the commission. We will continue leading this fight, and we welcome Congress’ efforts to join us.” In January, RealClearPolitics published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, They’re Coming for Your Gas Stoves and They’ve Already Started.

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to House Passage of “Fake” Debt Ceiling Deal
Atlanta, GA – Tonight, the US House passed the Fiscal Responsibility Act, the debt ceiling deal negotiated by President Biden and Speaker McCarthy. The legislation now moves to the US Senate. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We thank the House Republicans who opposed this horrible bill. To the House Republicans who voted for the bill — thankfully, fewer than the 150 predicted by the Speaker — we can only express our deep disappointment. They’ve kicked the can down the road again. “More Democrats voted for this terrible bill than did Republicans — a sure sign that this bill was a raw deal for conservatives. “The next Congress will need to do better. This will be the top issue in the 2024 elections.” Today, the Daily Caller published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, Republicans Should Reject Kevin McCarthy’s Sham ‘Deal.’ To read it, click here.
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Congress to Reject Debt Ceiling Deal
Atlanta, GA – Over the weekend, President Biden and Speaker McCarthy brokered the Fiscal Responsibility Act to resolve the debt ceiling standoff. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The debt ceiling deal is a rotten deal for Americans, and every Member of Congress should vote against it. President Biden got the better end of the deal and Republicans in Congress should hold the line and vote against it so a better deal can be struck. We were promised $4.8 trillion in spending cuts over a decade. In fact, that’s what House Republicans passed last month. Now, instead, we learn that Speaker McCarthy negotiated adding $4 trillion to the debt over the next 18 months. Our nation is in a perilous situation with the debt. It’s unconscionable that a Republican Speaker is negotiating with President Biden to add to the national debt. “Our message to all Members of Congress is to vote no on the Biden-McCarthy debt deal, and to those who vote for the Biden-McCarthy deal: We will not forget it. November 2024 is just around the corner.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Slams DHS for Funding Anti-Terrorism Program Linking Tea Party to Nazis
Atlanta, GA – Today, FoxNews.com reported that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) doled out taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant initiative to a University of Dayton program that explicitly lumped the Tea Party and other conservative groups into the same category as Nazis (link to story). Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "The Biden administration’s weaponization of government continues. Tea Party Patriots Action is a grassroots conservative organization with about three million members and supporters. We peacefully mobilize our members to advocate conservative values. To have DHS funds be in an anti-terrorism program that links us to Nazis and puts us on a ‘pyramid of far-right radicalization’ is offensive and disgraceful. “TPPA has already suffered from government abuse of power. During the Obama era, Tea Party Patriots was deliberately targeted and persecuted by the IRS in one of the biggest government scandals of the modern era. “Prior to today’s revelations, we had called for Secretary Mayorkas to be impeached because of his willful refusal to enforce our immigration laws, causing the historic crisis on our southern border. Today, we are once again demanding that Secretary Mayorkas be impeached and for DHS to return to its original mission of protecting our country, instead of trying to intimidate conservative Americans.” TPPA has a petition up for Mayorkas’ impeachment.
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Durham Report, Thanks Jordan for Launching Congressional Hearings
Atlanta, GA – On Monday, Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report slamming the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe. Durham concluded that the FBI never should have launched a full investigation into Trump’s campaign, while also concluding that the FBI engaged in “disparate treatment” between the Trump and Clinton campaigns. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "The report is finally in, and it’s worth the wait – after seven years of lies and smears by the highest levels of the Democrat party and corrupt leaders of our nation’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies, we have a conclusive analysis showing there never was any ‘there’ there, and the FBI’s leadership never should have acted the way it did. “This week’s report by Special Counsel John Durham shows that not only was the idea of presidential candidate Donald Trump colluding with Russia a complete fabrication, but it was created and spread by his political opponents at the Clinton campaign. After Trump took office, government leaders then used this hoax to try to subvert Trump’s presidency. “Conservatives knew it was a hoax from Day One and will properly feel gratified by the findings. Sadly, it’s doubtful liberals will go through even a single page of Durham’s 306-page report to learn the truth. “Congress must investigate the new information contained in Durham’s report. Hearings must be held to uncover the full extent of the corruption. All parties involved, no matter how high-reaching, must be held accountable. “We thank House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan — who also serves as chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government — for announcing his intent to hold hearings on this matter. We are confident Chairman Jordan will conduct such hearings with...
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Pass H.R. 2, the “Secure the Border Act”
Atlanta, GA – Today, the House is expected to vote on the “Secure the Border Act,” House Republicans’ border security, asylum and immigration reform package. In response, TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The ‘Secure the Border act’ is the strongest comprehensive border security and asylum and immigration reform bill we’ve seen in a long, long time. We support it, and we strongly urge every House Member to vote for it. This legislation addresses the ‘Biden Border Crisis’ and his administration’s abject failure to enforce our immigration laws and ensure the security of our southern border. This legislation will build the border wall, make E-Verify mandatory, and continue the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, among other things. With Title 42 expiring today, and a new surge of migrants expected to cross the border, this legislation is more timely than ever. “Once the House has taken action, the onus will be on the Senate to pass its own bill so we can keep the momentum going.”
