Architecture matters because the American people matter.

Americans still believe in distinction, continuity and democratic self-government.

The nation’s public buildings should reflect those ideals.

WATCH: @Jim_Banks reflects on the passing of a colleague, "We have a lot of work to do to fill the void that Lindsey Graham is gonna leave."

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Lindsey Graham was one of a kind.

I first met him when I was deployed to Afghanistan and he was serving his two weeks AT with the US Air Force Reserves at the HQ base in Kabul.

Since that time, he had given me advice on running for the House, and then the Senate, and then on how to be a Senator.

He was a very effective Senator and he will be missed. The Senate will not be the same.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Antisemitism will not be tolerated.

Not in Zionsville.
Not in Indiana.
Not anywhere.

Thank you to the federal, state, and local officials working to bring the perpetrators of this despicable arson attack to justice.

Securing our elections should not be controversial.

Defending our sovereignty should not controversial.

Putting the American people first should not be controversial.

It's time to pass the SAVE America Act.
It's time to end birthright citizenship.
This is the way forward.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Last week's Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship highlights the need for 4 important next steps:

1 – Deport every illegal alien out of America
2 – Maintain the Supreme Court majority
3 – Pass the SAVE America Act
4 – Pass a bill to ban birthright citizenship

.@SecWar and @POTUS are eliminating woke politicization from our military.

But their important reforms need to be codified into law.

I’m proud to have secured an amendment in this year's NDAA reversing Biden-era DEI policies in @DeptofWar hiring, communications and trainings.

When a nation sees beautiful and great architecture, it sees beauty and greatness in itself.

This will be beautiful and fitting.

President Donald Trump’s proposal to build a 250-foot triumphal arch in Virginia across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., recently cleared an initial federal review. https://t.co/cPg02esdeA

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

The @CLT_Exam is the standard for academic excellence and our service academies should accept nothing less.

I’m proud to have secured an amendment in this year's NDAA requiring our service academies to accept the CLT as an admissions option.

The SAT and ACT shouldn't have a monopoly over college admissions.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

The people gave us a Senate majority.
The people gave us a House majority.
The people gave us a 2nd Trump admin.

And they did it for a reason.

We believe in @POTUS's America First agenda and it's our duty in Congress to ensure this agenda is codified and implemented into law.

[Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt]

Thanks to @KurtSchlichter for hosting today and to @SenatorBanks for joining him and focusing on the most important domestic political divide between Rs and Ds.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

We have a lot to do over the next few months & we must do whatever it takes to advance @POTUS's America First agenda.

If that means cancelling recess, we should cancel recess.

This is about election integrity.
This is about keeping our military strong.
This is about our future.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Only 29% of Democrats are proud to be an American.

Democrats are running self-proclaimed Socialists in countless races across the nation.

Republicans believe America is the greatest country in the history of the world.

This is the fundamental difference between us and them.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Indiana is the largest manufacturing state per capita in the nation and Riverside Manufacturing, LLC specializes in making custom products for harsh environments.

Great to join federal, state, and local leaders in Fort Wayne to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of their new facility.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

Attach the provisions of the SAVE America Act to Reconciliation 3.0.

Attach much needed defense spending to Reconciliation 3.0.

It's time to pass real election integrity, replenish our munitions, and ensure our military remains the strongest in the world.

This is common sense.

[Senator Jim Banks @SenatorBanks]

When @POTUS met with the Senate GOP, he gave my colleagues a reality check & a tough love message they needed to hear.

We must pass SAVE America Act.
We must codify our America First agenda.

House GOP should add SAVE America to everything they send to the Senate moving forward.

[The Hill & Valley Forum @HillValleyForum]

"What we learned in Iran, we learn in every single war game, whether it's a war with China over Taiwan or any major conflict: how quickly we run out of our own munition stockpiles."

@SenatorBanks on the fix:

"We have to completely revamp the bureaucracy of the Pentagon to make sure we're quickly building munitions."

"The biggest defense announcement in Indiana I've seen since I've been in Congress is a new munitions plant at Crane Navy Base. A partnership between Kratos, a great American company, and Rafael, one of our greatest allies, building solid rocket motors."

"The lesson learned is we need a lot more of that. A lot more reinvestment in our own industrial base."

America’s veterans put their lives on the line to defend our nation & they deserve their shot at the American Dream.

Proud to have joined @SecVetAffairs & @SteaknShake yesterday in my hometown of Fort Wayne as they work to make it easier for veterans to own & operate a business.
