Rep. Don Bacon, who represents Nebraska’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on December 10, 2025, addressing issues ranging from international diplomacy to national defense and healthcare policy.

In a post made at 19:36 UTC, Bacon voiced opposition to former President Trump’s reported suggestion that Ukraine should cede additional territory for peace negotiations. He wrote, “I totally disagree with President Trump asking Ukraine to give up additional territory for a peace deal. This rewards the invader, and does nothing to guarantee peace in years to come. This is appeasement. This is not Reagan, but it is Chamberlain.”

Later the same day at 22:44 UTC, Bacon highlighted his role as Chair of the House Armed Services Committee Republicans’ Cyber Subcommittee and expressed support for upcoming defense legislation. He stated, “As Chair of the @HASCRepublicans Cyber Subcommittee, I strongly support #FY26NDAA, which expedites innovation for the warfighter & improves our ability to harness emerging technologies such as AI, biotechnology, & hypersonics. The bill also includes a 3.8% pay raise for all”.

At 23:24 UTC on December 10th, Bacon announced an appearance with Rep. Tom Suozzi on Fox News to discuss bipartisan efforts related to healthcare tax credits. His post read: “@RepTomSuozzi and I are joining @BretBaier on @FoxNews shortly to discuss our bipartisan bill to temporarily extend and reform the COVID-era ACA tax credits. Tune in!”

Don Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd district since succeeding Brad Ashford in 2017. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and currently residing in Papillion, he graduated from Northern Illinois University in 1984 before earning an additional degree from the University of Phoenix.
