Rep. Don Bacon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, posted a series of updates on April 6, 2026, addressing issues ranging from veterans’ affairs to foreign policy and energy sanctions.
In his first post at 17:12 UTC, Bacon commented on local developments for veterans: “The new Dunham House will be a great addition for our local area veterans.”
Later that evening at 21:00 UTC, he announced an upcoming media appearance: “Live shortly on @TheLeadCNN with @jaketapper to discuss NATO and the latest on Iran. Tune in!”
At 21:19 UTC, Bacon addressed recent actions by the U.S. State Department regarding Russian oil exports: “The State Department responded to my criticisms of the Administration’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian oil exports. @StateDept said it was only temporary and intended to stabilize the markets. I think the decision is a ‘penny-wise, dollar-foolish’ decision. Yes, it will”
Bacon has served as Nebraska’s representative in Congress since replacing Brad Ashford in 2017. Born in Momence, Illinois in 1963, he is currently a resident of Papillion and holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
