Undated: The Tea Party movement is an
American
fiscally conservative
political movement within the
Republican Party. Members of the movement have called for lower
taxes, and for a reduction of the
national debt of the United States and
federal budget deficit through decreased
government spending.[1][2]
The movement supports small-government principles[3][4]
and opposes
government-sponsored universal healthcare.[5]
The Tea Party movement has been described as a popular constitutional movement[6]
composed of a mixture of
libertarian,[7]
right-wing populist,[8]
and
conservative activism.[9]
It has sponsored
multiple protests and supported
various political candidates since 2009.[10][11][12]
According to the
American Enterprise Institute, various polls in 2013 estimate that slightly
over 10 percent of Americans identify as part of the movement.[1

February 16: Tea party gains voice in
Trump’s Cabinet with budget chief
The Senate on Thursday confirmed President Donald Trump’s pick to run the White
House budget office, giving the Republicans’ tea party wing a voice in the
Cabinet.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., squeaked through on a 51-49 vote in the
Republican-controlled Senate.

February 28: President Trump has thrown down
a major challenge for the tea party and its congressional bloc, known as the
Freedom Caucus. He is proposing to Congress a massive budget-busting plan that
increases military spending by a whopping $54 billion, slashes domestic
programs, and leaves Social Security and Medicare intact. And a significant tax
cut will soon be on the way.
This presents a crucial test to the tea party movement that has reshaped
American politics since 2008. The most obvious challenge is that Trump has
chosen to leave Social Security and Medicare alone, two of the biggest
components of the federal budget and two prime targets for conservatives like
Speaker Paul Ryan.

September 20: Texas Tea Partiers Are Freaking Out Over 'Deep State'
Conspiracy Theories
Here's why the state is ground zero in the right-wing panic over threats to the
Trump presidency.
Members of at least three North Texas tea party-aligned groups, including the
Van Zandt County Tea Party, the Kaufman County Tea Party, and the Red Texas
Forum, joined a smattering of local political candidates and former elected
officials to hear a presentation titled "Historical Roots of the
Deep State—What it is and Where it came from."
... Deep state actors desperately want to take out President Trump, and true
patriots had to act now to save him ...

October 11: GOP, home to Trump and tea
party, decries Dems’ ‘mob rule’
President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are forecasting nightmarish
Democratic “mob rule” to amp up GOP voters for next month’s critical midterm
elections, flipping the script from complaints that it’s Trump and the tea party
movement who’ve boosted rowdy and divisive tactics to dangerous levels.
Less than a month from voting in which GOP control of Congress is dangling
precariously, Republicans are linking comments and actions by Democratic
politicians, raucous protesters opposing Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court
nomination and even a gunman who shot targeted GOP lawmakers. The message to
Republican voters: Democrats are employing radical tactics that are only growing
worse.
While the demonstrations were intense and some Republicans reported personal
threats, liberal protesters’ tactics were broadly in line with those used by
groups on the left and right during particularly passionate moments in
Washington. The confrontational style harkened back to protests by the
conservative tea party, which included angry face-offs with lawmakers and a
massive Capitol demonstration far larger than last week’s rallies.

November 7: In all, Democrats picked up at
least seven of 26 GOP-held gubernatorial [governhor] seats, a shift that could
complicate Trump’s re-election hopes and alter the nation’s political landscape
for the next decade.
The victories tamed a long, Tea Party-fueled winning streak that had given
Republicans control of 33 governor’s mansions, the most since 1928. That success
became the party’s biggest vulnerability, with Republicans defending nearly
three times as many governor’s mansions this year as Democrats.

November 7: Under-reported election result:
Overwhelmingly, Americans rejected Trump
A substantial majority of Americans yesterday went to the polls and pulled the
lever for candidates who opposed President Trump and his policies. Even in the
elections for the U.S. Senate, where the GOP gained at least three seats, 10
million more people voted Democratic than voted Republican.
The big news of the night, however, was the practical result of the national
outpouring of voters who rejected the fear and racism put forward by the GOP.
Democrats, even before the final reports from 14 districts, had already piled up
a margin of close to 30 seats in the House of Representatives. More voters
propelled this “blue wave” than the numbers that carried into office the
infamous Tea Party Republicans during the 2010 midterms of the Obama
administration. Judging by initial numbers, this year’s election could see the
highest turnout in history for any midterm in the U.S.
