Rep. Don Bacon, who represents Nebraska’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, posted several updates on March 19, 2026, covering topics ranging from national defense to personal milestones.
In a post published at 14:53 UTC, Bacon wrote about military preparedness and strategic deterrence: “The B-21 Raider is a critical capability for our strategic deterrence. If 150 Raiders is the requirement, we need to plan and build the infrastructure and production capacity now, so we don’t fall short as we did with the B-2. Leaving America undefended is not an option.” The statement highlights his focus on ensuring sufficient investment in defense infrastructure.
Later that day at 20:25 UTC, Bacon shared a personal note regarding his family’s involvement in public service: “Great to host my niece Zoey today at the Capitol. She’s serving with the Indiana Guard and her unit is deployed to Washington, DC. She’s a young patriot and works hard.”
At 21:03 UTC on March 19, Bacon addressed international affairs with another brief post: “One of 30,000 reasons why this murderous regime must go.”
