Rep. Don Bacon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 2nd district, has shared several updates via social media on legislative actions and personal reflections. His posts provide insights into recent developments concerning energy regulation and drug policy in the United States.
On February 7, 2025, Rep. Bacon tweeted: "NE Nice! From Intern #3." This brief post was shared without additional context or details.
Later that day, at 22:01 UTC, he addressed rising energy costs faced by Nebraskans in another tweet: "Nebraskans face rising energy bills. The House passed H.R. 26, the Protecting American Energy Production Act, 226-108, ensuring states control fracking regulations and preventing unilateral bans by the Executive Branch." This statement highlights a legislative measure aimed at empowering state-level decision-making regarding fracking practices.
In a subsequent post on February 8, 2025, Rep. Bacon expressed personal loss related to drug addiction: "I lost three brothers to drugs, so I know the heartbreak families feel. In 2023, 70% of the 107,000 overdose deaths in the U.S. involved synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Today, the HALT Fentanyl Act passed 312-108 to stop fentanyl from flooding our border." This message underscores his support for legislation targeting synthetic opioid trafficking as a means to address public health concerns.
