Rep. Don Bacon, a U.S. Congressman representing Nebraska's 2nd district since 2017, has recently shared his thoughts on various topics through a series of tweets. Bacon, who succeeded Brad Ashford in Congress and was born in Momence, Illinois in 1963, now resides in Papillion. He holds degrees from Northern Illinois University and the University of Phoenix.

On May 6, 2025, Rep. Bacon expressed concerns about energy policies affecting the Midwest. In his tweet, he stated: "Again, this guy ignores reality in the Midwest. Omaha gets 40% of its energy from wind & biofuel is critical to the Midwest. Companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars leveraging tax incentives. Use a scalpel on the IRA, not a sledgehammer." This comment highlights his advocacy for careful adjustments to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) rather than broad changes that could impact regional investments.

Later that day at 15:28 UTC, Rep. Bacon posted another tweet simply stating "Nebraska Nice". The phrase is often used to describe the friendly and welcoming nature associated with Nebraskans.

In another post at 16:15 UTC on May 6th, Rep. Bacon shared a link without additional commentary: "https://t.co/qfYZU0NNcj". The content or context of this link remains unspecified within his social media feed.

Don Bacon continues to serve as an influential voice for Nebraska’s interests in Congress while maintaining active engagement with constituents through social media platforms.
