Rep. Don Bacon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, addressed several topics in a series of posts on July 17, 2025. Bacon commented on federal law enforcement protections, paid tribute to a military leader, and issued a brief critique.
In his first post at 15:48 UTC, Bacon condemned attacks against federal officers and promoted new legislation: “Violence against federal law enforcement officers is completely unacceptable. My bipartisan Back the Blue Act will provide enhanced protections for federal agents and all those who risk their lives to keep our communities safe.”
Later that day at 16:35 UTC, Bacon acknowledged the achievements of a prominent military figure: “Honoring one of the greatest Generals, General John Keane.”
At 17:25 UTC, Bacon posted a succinct comment: “Dumb and dumber.”
Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd district in Congress since succeeding Brad Ashford in 2017. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963, he resides in Papillion and holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
