Later that morning at 16:34 UTC, Bacon highlighted an event involving state legislators from Nebraska: “Nebraska Breakfast was packed this morning as we welcomed some of our NE State lawmakers to DC!

In another post at 17:38 UTC, Bacon addressed foreign policy concerns regarding support for Ukraine and the Baltic region: “I’m on my way to the House Floor to fight against abandoning our Ukrainian & Baltic allies.
