Restore balance on tariffs, uphold Constitution through trade oversight
Senators must vote in favor of this critical bipartisan legislation to reassert Congress's constitutional authority over tariffs and trade matters. The bill is essential to reclaim legislative oversight on tariff actions, mandating congressional approval for national security tariffs under Section 2
Re evaluate tariffs
Tarrifs are already impacting jobs in the state of Indiana. It took less than 24 hours! The below plants supply parts to Canada and Mexico. 900 workers at these plants are getting laid off. “The affected US employees work at five different Midwest plants: the Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping p
Save our economy now
Stop defending and enabling the destruction of our economy with harmful tariffs and government layoffs. Instead of governing, this regime/ “administration” is actively weakening and isolating the United States. I assume your own savings is being lost, like ours. It’s time to show your loyalty to
Stop Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation Before it is too Late
The American people were told that Project 2025 would not be influencing our government if it was won by a Trump administration. We certainly never elected the Heritage Foundation to run our country. However, here we are with the these players calling the shots! Leonard Leo, The 85 Fund, Schwab Cha
Economic nightmare …. Tariffs
Senator Banks, You Are Supposed to Represent ALL Hoosiers
The rhetoric that you share on Fox, CNN, on social media, and what you say to them face to face or through your staff towards your constituents and fellow Americans is below a senator. Your job is to represent your constituents, ALL of your constituents, in a meaningful and professional way. You do
Signalgate is Not Over
Signalgate is not over; I am horrified by the disregard for the safety of our troops and proper procedures and horrified by the response from Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe and the White House: lies, denials, deflections, "cannot remembers" from people tasked with grasp of detail and personal attacks o
Stop Putin! Help Ukraine!
Apparently Putin is not negotiating in good faith. Putin has called up 160,000 Russian men aged between 18 and 30 on March 31 as part of the Kremlin’s annual spring conscription cycle. I want our country to punish Putin with the harshest penalties that we can leverage. I also hope that we continue
Your are making history.
Write congress You and your staff will go down in history. Not for anything good but as sycophants and enablers of the administration that is destroying the economy, our alliances, our education, health care, and democracy itself. Three months ago, the USA was viewed as a world leader. We had sco
Stop These New Tariffs Now
The tariffs enacted by President Trump yesterday are the largest tax increase on the American working class since at least World War II and, potentially, the largest since 1913. I am deeply dismayed by this large increase in a federal consumption tax that was designed to offer small scale support
senate_both STAND UP TO TRUMP. DO NOT ENABLE HIS DESTRUCTION OF OUR ECONOMY.
Tariffs Tax Americans! I didn’t fail economics like so many others.
The president’s severe tariffs are not a tax on foreign companies—they are a tax on the American people. Consumers, workers, small businesses, and farmers are shouldering the cost, and the ripple effect is already triggering a dangerous global economic downturn. These actions threaten to plunge us i
The Trump Administration's decision to terminate federal funding for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) in Indiana will have devastating consequences for food banks and the tens of thousands of Hoosiers facing food insecurity. TEFAP provided around $6 million annually to the state, a cruc
Address Senator Banks' insensitive comments towards fired federal employees
Senator Banks' dismissive comments towards a former federal employee demonstrate a concerning lack of empathy and professionalism unbefitting of an elected representative. Mocking constituents who raise concerns over workforce reductions and the human impact of such policies is disrespectful and cou
The Trump administration has issued an executive order aimed at dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services - the ONLY federal agency for America's libraries. Using just 0.003% of the federal budget, the IMLS funds services at libraries across the country; services like Braille and talk
Tariffs are taxes on YOUR constituents.
Tariffs are taxes. This is ridiculous and painful for your constituents that are already suffering from low wages, layoffs, and price increases. Tariffs will compound this pain tenfold. Economic instability doesn't bode well. You can choose if your party is going to walk us into a recession. Unche
Forget the 2017 tax cut
I never saved on taxes with the 2017 Trump tax cuts. So I don’t care if they stay. My tax situation was the same before it was implemented as after. I was retired from teaching in 2015 and even paid more taxes after the supposed cut. Everyone in my area saw the same outcome. I just wish wealthy peo
“You seem like a clown”
My mother is a recent widow and just turned 80. To hear all of you speak about her, a constituent, as a “parasite” or “because you seem like a clown” is disappointing and discouraging. When I worked in the Reagan White House and in the Pentagon on his projects, I never would have thought he would
Support the resolution to block arms sales to Israel
I'm writing to demand that you support Senator Bernie Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block the sale of weaponry to Israel. The United States cannot continue to fund and supply the Israeli government while it continues its atrocious attacks on Gaza, blocks humanitarian aid, and violates
Senator Banks: Address constituents' concerns with empathy, not insults
Senator Banks needs to treat federal workers who have lost their jobs with respect and empathy. Responding in a condescending and dismissive manner to concerns about federal job losses is highly concerning behavior from an elected representative. Senator Banks has a duty to listen to constituents an
For the love of Christ, please bring this man back to the United States
Please bring this man back to his family in the state of Maryland. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a lawful U.S. resident, is now separated from family and in the custody of a foreign government due to the Trump administration's apparent "administrative error.” Garcia is a 29-year-old immigrant who fled gang
Unprofessional Remarks to former HHS employee
Last night I saw a viral clip of you mocking a federal civil servant fired by unelected and unaccountable billionaire Elon Musk from HHS. You have surrendered your obligation as elected senator to hold the purse strings and allowed the president to delegate that responsibility to a conflicted billio
Good morning, I was glad to see that Indiana’s Republican representatives to Congress continue to set an example of maturity and class after seeing a video of Jim Banks calling a fired federal worker a clown, telling them that they probably deserved it. I know that Trump Troll culture is now endemic
Why are important programs being cut? We are being turned into a 3rd world country. Cuts to the NIH ??? Thanks. My mom died from Alzheimer’s. This is a travesty.
Thorough review of Indiana's education reform bill needed
House Bill 1002 addresses various education policies in Indiana, including matters related to curriculum, teacher training, and school accountability measures. It would be dangerous to pass this bill, as it also proposes changes to special education services and mental health support systems within
Reject harmful public health workforce cuts
The Trump administration's decision to lay off 10,000 federal health workers is deeply concerning and will have severe consequences for the health and well-being of all Americans. Eliminating key staff across agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration,
When Germans saw smoke they knew. They felt it in their gut what that smoke was from and yet they did nothing. We see the smoke and we are doing everything we can do in our realm of possibility. We are voicing our opinion,we are marching,we are protesting,we are buying less,talking more. Yet the peo
Prioritize funding for childhood immunizations and VFC program
Routine childhood immunizations are a vital public health strategy that have provided immense health and economic benefits for children in the United States. According to the CDC, among children born from 1994 to 2023, routine vaccinations will prevent approximately 508 million cases of illness, 32
We don’t want an invasion of Greenland. Do something.
“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%,” Trump said. He added that there’s a “good possibility that we could do it without military force” but that “I don’t take anything off the table.” We don’t do this. Americans a not this. We don’t want this. It’s time you did something. Speak up. Call. Collabo
Demand accountability for questionable immigration enforcement tactics
Immigration enforcement actions that violate due process or infringe on free speech are deeply concerning. The jarring video of a Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University being abruptly detained by masked federal agents raises serious questions that demand answers. While the government has broad
