Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, has recently shared his views and legislative efforts through a series of tweets. Bacon, who succeeded Brad Ashford in Congress, is known for his commitment to national interests and community partnerships.
On February 12, 2025, Rep. Bacon tweeted about the importance of preserving national interests while eliminating ineffective practices. He stated: "Publius = Pubic Breath This is an intentional misquote. We should preserve what serves our national interests and what is working. Get rid of what is not working. Whether we do this through USAID or State Department I don’t care." Bacon emphasized the need for a comprehensive audit to ensure efficiency.
Later that day, he announced the introduction of legislation aimed at making the CHIP IN Act permanent, highlighting its potential to foster VA-community partnerships such as the Omaha Ambulatory Care Center. He expressed gratitude towards AMVETS for their support: "Excited to share I've introduced legislation to make the CHIP IN Act permanent! This will allow for more VA-community partnerships, like the Omaha Ambulatory Care Center! Thanks, @AMVETSHQ, for supporting the bill!"
On February 13, 2025, Rep. Bacon addressed concerns regarding illegal immigration and law enforcement safety following a tragic incident involving Agent Raul Gonzalez: "Illegal immigrants fleeing border patrol risk our law enforcement. Agent Raul Gonzalez lost his life in a high-speed chase." He mentioned proposed legislation aimed at providing law enforcement with tools to penalize those evading capture.
