Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017, posted a series of statements on November 18, 2025, addressing military leadership, religious advocacy against anti-Semitism, and concerns over national cybersecurity.
In his first post at 17:06 UTC, Bacon recognized the efforts of Lisa Yanney Roskens on the House Floor. He wrote, “Today on the House Floor, I was pleased to recognize Lisa Yanney Roskens. Lisa is a true leader whose vision, dedication, and compassion have touched the lives of tens of thousands of military families and veterans across our nation.”
Later that day at 17:37 UTC, Bacon expressed appreciation for Pastor Hagee’s stance against anti-Semitism. He stated, “I thank Pastor Hagee for preaching the truth on the evils of anti-Semitism.”
At 18:36 UTC, Bacon raised alarms about U.S. cyber defense readiness in relation to threats from China. He posted, “China has replaced Russia as our most formidable cyber threat. Cyber Command has no commander, the top two NSA roles sit empty, and CISA has been cut by a third. Our cyber capabilities are going backwards. We’re rudderless in a time when China is attacking us every day.”
Bacon’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions in Congress about military support systems and national security challenges. As background, Don Bacon has represented Nebraska’s 2nd District since succeeding Brad Ashford in 2017 and currently resides in Papillion after being born in Momence, Illinois in 1963.
He holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.
