Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, recently shared updates on his legislative activities and public engagements through a series of tweets.
On July 10, 2025, Rep. Bacon announced the introduction of the bipartisan Back the Blue Act alongside Rep. Golden. He stated, “Today @RepGolden and I introduced the bipartisan Back the Blue Act, which seeks to ensure that those who risk their lives to protect others are afforded greater protections.” The act aims to enhance protections for law enforcement personnel.
In another tweet from July 10, 2025, Bacon highlighted his recent appearance on Meet The Press. He tweeted, “ICYMI: Yesterday I joined @MeetThePress to discuss the reconciliation bill, what I hope to work on after Congress, and that I’m glad @POTUS is sending weapons to Ukraine.” This statement underscores his ongoing engagement with legislative processes and international affairs.
Later that day, Bacon mentioned his interaction with law enforcement officials regarding online safety issues. He wrote in a tweet posted at 19:37 UTC on July 10th: “Just got back from speaking with law enforcement about the dangers of doxxing, and saw this headline on tv.” This reflects his concern over privacy threats faced by individuals in digital spaces.
Don Bacon was born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and currently resides in Papillion. He holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
