Rep. Don Bacon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 2nd district, has shared his perspectives on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. These posts address topics such as border security, international sanctions, and cybersecurity threats.

On February 10, 2025, Rep. Bacon highlighted concerns regarding border security by stating that "The broken border resulted in innocent people murdered." He emphasized the significance of this issue during the last election and noted that significant progress had been made recently: "Major strides have already been made in the last 3 weeks & illegal border crossings are at 5% of what it was at the worst of the Biden Admin."

Later that day, Rep. Bacon expressed his stance on international military relations with Russia. He suggested stricter measures against Russia's access to Western military equipment by referencing LTG Kellogg's comments: "Russia should be banned from buying any western military equipment. LTG Kellogg said our Russian sanctions are at a '3' when they should be a '10.'"

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Bacon turned his attention to cybersecurity threats posed by China. He warned about China's cyber operations targeting critical infrastructure and personal devices: "Communist China is conducting cyber operations against our energy grid and has gained access to most peoples’ cellphones." To counter these threats, he called for increased resources and authority for US Cyber Command.
