Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, has shared several statements on social media addressing various topics related to his political activities and views. These posts reflect his stance on public participation in town halls and the judicial system's role in governance.

On March 19, 2025, Rep. Don Bacon posted about the anticipated success of an upcoming town hall meeting. He expressed confidence that there would be significantly higher participation compared to previous events, stating that "we’ll get likely 15X more participation in our Town-hall and kids can listen without their parents being embarrassed." He also mentioned independence from organizations like MoveOn and Indivisible "Actually, we’ll get likely 15X more participation in our Town-hall and kids can listen without their parents being embarrassed. We don’t take orders from MoveOn and Indivisible."

Later the same day, he emphasized the importance of respecting judicial decisions or appealing them through appropriate legal channels. In his post at 14:43 UTC, he reaffirmed his belief in foundational constitutional principles such as separation of powers and checks and balances "Our practice over 236 years has been to either respect the courts’ decisions or appeal to a higher court. I believe in the Constitution’s pillars of separation of powers, and checks and balances."

In another tweet at 16:21 UTC on March 19th, Rep. Bacon reiterated his earlier point about community engagement at town halls while critiquing certain political groups' influence among Nebraskans "Most Nebraskans don’t like MoveOn nor Indivisible. Our townhall will have 15X more participation and parents won’t have to worry about covering the ears of their children."
