Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, posted a series of tweets on December 21, 2025, addressing topics ranging from political ideology to sports and national defense.
In an early morning post at 03:27 UTC, Bacon commented on ideological extremism: “A pro-Hitler person and a pro-Stalin person all at once. Both sides of this split personality are repugnant. True Conservatives disdain both.”
Later that morning at 04:35 UTC, he shifted focus to football, sharing his thoughts on the Chicago Bears’ recent victory: “The best win for the Bears is the Super Bowl. The second best win is beating the Packers. Bears Win in OT.”
By the afternoon at 18:09 UTC, Bacon highlighted legislative developments with a tweet about defense funding: “#FY26NDAA is now law, authorizing $900B+ for defense & critical technologies, a 3.8% pay raise for members, & more. The NDAA includes eight of our sponsored provisions, including support for Ukraine & Baltic nations and $15M for USSTRATCOM’s NC3 REACH initiative at Offutt AFB.”
Bacon has served as Nebraska’s representative in Congress since replacing Brad Ashford in 2017 and resides in Papillion. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and currently aged 59, he holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
