Don Bacon U.S. House of Representatives from Nebraska's 2nd district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Don Bacon, a Congress member representing Nebraska's 2nd district, addressed various topics in a series of tweets on April 9, 2025. Rep. Bacon, who has been serving since 2017 following Brad Ashford's tenure, shared his views on national policies and questioned certain public claims.
On April 9, 2025, Rep. Don Bacon referenced an article from the National Review that argues against the continuation of Trump-era tariffs, urging Congress to end the trade war. According to Bacon, the Founding Fathers intended for Congress to hold the authority over taxation and tariffs, emphasizing the importance of legislative power: "National Review: “Trump Tariffs: Congress Should End Trade War.” The Founding Fathers wanted Congress to have the power to tax and determine tariffs for a reason."
Later that same day, Rep. Bacon expressed his appreciation for the accuracy of different perspectives on a controversial post, calling community notes helpful: "The community notes are great on this “full of BS” post."
In a subsequent tweet, Bacon shared another perspective, referencing what he described as an eccentric viewpoint: "Hereis whack-a-doodle #1."
