Jim Banks, a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana's 3rd district since 2017, has recently shared his views on several key issues through social media posts. Banks, who succeeded Marlin Stutzman and previously served in the Indiana Senate from 2010 to 2016, is known for his conservative stance on various policy matters.

On March 11, 2025, Jim Banks expressed concern over Americans' retirement plans potentially funding adversarial nations. He stated: "Americans’ retirement plans should not fund our enemies. My bill puts a stop to it." He encouraged readers to explore further insights from James Lynch.

The following day, March 12, 2025, Banks announced his upcoming appearance on America's Newsroom with Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer. In his post, he mentioned discussing educational reforms under President Trump and Secretary Linda McMahon: "Tune in: I’m joining @DanaPerino and @BillHemmer on America’s Newsroom to talk about how President Trump and Secretary @Linda_McMahon are Making Education Great Again! "

Later that day, Banks criticized the salary disparities between bureaucrats at the Department of Education and teachers in Indiana. He tweeted: "The average bureaucrat at the Dept of Ed makes OVER TWICE AS MUCH money as teachers in Indiana. It’s long past time that we have a President who is serious about getting the federal government out of education. Thank you President Trump for your leadership! "
