Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, shared several statements on December 14, 2024, via social media platform X. The topics addressed ranged from national fiscal issues to public opinion on a presidential pardon and the recognition of an innovative app developed by a student.
In a post made at 14:35 UTC, Rep. Bacon highlighted concerns regarding the U.S. government's financial deficit. He stated that "If the U.S. government spent nothing on national defense we’d still have a $1.5T annual deficit. If we cut all discretionary spending we’d still have over $800B annual deficit."
Later that day at 16:00 UTC, Rep. Bacon commented on President Biden's recent pardon decision concerning his son, noting public disapproval: "Only 22% of Americans approve of the pardon that President Biden gave to his son. We were told 11 times before the elections that no pardon would be given."
At 16:15 UTC, Rep. Bacon celebrated Erica Zhang for her achievement in the Congressional App Challenge with her app "Mind Bloom." He remarked that "Erica Zhang is our first-place winner for the Congressional App Challenge. Her app, Mind Bloom, uses a reward system to help children develop study habits."
