Rep. Don Bacon, currently a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 2nd district, has shared a series of tweets addressing critical international and local issues. Having taken office in 2017 after replacing Brad Ashford, Bacon, who was born in Momence, Illinois, and lives in Papillion, is vocal about affairs of national importance and community engagement.
On April 4, 2025, Rep. Bacon expressed concerns over the termination of General Tim Haugh: "General Tim Haugh is an outstanding leader and was doing a superb job at Cyber Command and National Security Agency. He was fired with no public explanation. This action sets back our Cyber and Signals Intelligence operations."

Furthermore, Rep. Bacon met with a local educational leader, underscoring his support for regional institutions.
