Jim Banks, a U.S. Congressman representing Indiana's 3rd district, has recently shared his views on various topics through social media. His comments have touched on issues ranging from the Department of Education to national defense.

On March 20, 2025, Banks expressed his support for President Donald Trump's approach to education reform. He criticized Democrats for being more concerned about job losses within the Department of Education than addressing the substantial financial expenditures without tangible improvements in student outcomes. In his tweet, he stated: "Democrats are more upset about bureaucrats losing their jobs at the Department of Education than the $1 trillion spent with zero student improvement. I stand with President @realDonaldTrump and his mission to dismantle this failing department!"

The following day, on March 21, 2025, Banks retweeted a post confirming its accuracy with a simple comment: "True! https://t.co/IJMSgA9MzE" The context or content of the original tweet was not detailed in Banks' post.

Later that same day, Banks commended former President Trump’s efforts in enhancing national security through military advancements. He referred to an announcement regarding a new fighter jet as part of America's strategy to maintain aerial superiority: "President Trump is bringing back Peace Through Strength! Thanks to the newest 6th generation fighter jet announced today, America will continue to dominate the skies."
