Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, recently addressed a range of issues on his social media account, including antisemitism, trade policy, and U.S. dependence on China for rare earth minerals.
On October 13, 2025, Bacon shared an article, commenting, “A good read on the growing anti-Antisemitism on the far left and the far right. The horseshoe theory looks more real as time passes by. ‘The ZOG Horseshoe’ by Mike Cote.”
The following day, Bacon discussed U.S. trade policy, specifically the tariff on coffee. On October 14, 2025, he stated, “It makes no sense to tariff coffee. Americans love coffee & we grow very little of it. This is a tax on the U.S. consumer. Bigger picture, Congress needs to reclaim its Article One authorities over taxes & tariffs. I have proposed legislation to do this.”
Later the same day, Bacon addressed U.S. reliance on China for rare earth minerals. He wrote, “The U.S. is dependent on China for rare earth minerals. We must make it a strategic priority to find alternative sources. We also should have expected China to play hardball now that we are in a trade war. We cannot afford to be dependent on China.”
Bacon, who was born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and currently resides in Papillion, has been an advocate for Congressional authority over tariffs and taxes and has expressed concern about U.S. economic vulnerabilities. He graduated from Northern Illinois University in 1984 and also attended the University of Phoenix.
