Senator Jim Banks, a U.S. Senator representing Indiana, has recently addressed a range of national and international issues in a series of posts on his social media account.

On October 15, 2025, Banks commented on crime in Washington D.C., referencing legislation he has introduced: "This is crazy. My DC CRIMES Act would stop nonsense like this in our nation’s capital and make sure violent criminals face real consequences."

Later that day, Banks highlighted his advocacy for defense initiatives in Indiana as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). He stated on October 15, 2025: "Proud to have fought for Indiana’s defense projects in this year’s NDAA. Hoosiers are leading the way in keeping America strong and supporting our troops."

The following day, October 16, 2025, Banks turned to international policy concerns regarding climate change proposals from the United Nations. He wrote: "Now the UN wants to impose its own global carbon tax — which would be a direct hit on working families in Indiana and across America. Glad to see @SecRubio standing firm against the UN’s woke climate agenda!"

Senator Banks' comments come amid ongoing debates over public safety legislation in Washington D.C., annual negotiations over national defense spending through the NDAA, and recent discussions at the United Nations about potential global carbon taxation policies affecting member states.
