Rep. Don Bacon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, posted a series of messages on September 17, 2025, reflecting on events in Washington and national history.
In his first post at 16:41 UTC, Bacon shared: “Another Wednesday morning in Washington means another Nebraska Breakfast! https://t.co/VqMxJyQtdO”
Later that day, at 17:01 UTC, he addressed the recent death of Charlie Kirk: “One week ago, Charlie Kirk was killed in a horrific act of political violence. I’m honored to cosponsor H.Res. 695, recognizing his memory & dedication to engaging young Americans in the democratic process. https://t.co/se90f5KMiB”
At 20:18 UTC on Constitution Day, Bacon reflected on foundational American principles: “On Constitution Day, I’m reminded of James Madison’s wisdom in creating a government that demands consensus-building to get important things done. His separation of powers and his system of checks & balances were brilliant. I’ll always treasure our Bill of Rights. https://t.co/QWt4BOznPW”
Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd District since replacing Brad Ashford in 2017 and resides in Papillion after being born in Momence, Illinois in 1963. He holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
