Rep. Don Bacon, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, has shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets. These posts address international policy, infrastructure investment, and disaster recovery efforts.

On November 19, 2024, Rep. Bacon criticized President Biden's rules of engagement regarding Ukraine. He stated that these policies have hindered Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression and contributed to "gridlock and more casualties." Bacon warned that if Ukraine were to fall, it would result in a more dangerous world. "It was long overdue for Biden to remove the foolish rules of engagement he placed on Ukraine, tying one arm behind its back while Russia invades. His policy led to gridlock and more casualties. If Ukraine falls, our world will be more dangerous."

In another tweet from the same day at 13:15 UTC, Rep. Bacon highlighted his efforts in securing bipartisan support for infrastructure investment in Nebraska's 2nd district through the Jobs Act and NDAA funding among other appropriations. "Delivering for NE-02 in bipartisan infrastructure investment, Jobs Act, NDAA funding, and other appropriations funding."

Later that day at 16:11 UTC, Rep. Bacon addressed the need for prompt assistance to Americans affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. He emphasized the importance of a bill allowing FEMA to access pre-2012 funds to aid those who have suffered significant losses due to these natural disasters."Americans need quick help to recover from the tough times caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. They've been waiting way too long! This bill lets FEMA tap into funds from before 2012 to help those who’ve faced huge losses."
