Rep. Don Bacon, currently serving as the U.S. Congressman for Nebraska’s 2nd district, shared a series of posts on October 20, 2025, addressing international conflict, domestic politics, and diplomatic meetings.
In his first post of the day, Bacon commented on Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine: “He doesn’t care how many Russians he sacrifices invading Ukraine. The cornered rat doesn’t know how to get out of the hole he has dug.” (October 20, 2025).
Later that evening, Bacon referenced a statement attributed to a Democratic senator about congressional dynamics regarding government operations: “Democrat Senator: We would have enough votes to reopen the government if people were not terrified of being guillotined.” (October 20, 2025).
In another post that day, Bacon recounted a recent meeting with Elad Strohmayer, Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest: “This weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting with Elad Strohmayer, the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest! We had a great discussion about important topics like the ceasefire and the release of hostages, plus the exciting opportunity for soybean trade with Israel and Gaza!” (October 20, 2025).
Don Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd District in Congress since replacing Brad Ashford in 2017. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963 and now residing in Papillion, Bacon holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
