On February 14, 2025, Rep. Don Bacon commented on historical discussions regarding World War II casualties. He stated that "All this talk about the Soviet Union suffering 27 million casualties fighting Nazi Germany. Lost in this discussion is that Stalin in 1939 made a 10-year peace deal w/ Hitler so that the USSR could invade Eastern Poland, the three Baltic countries & Finland. Stalin was complicit."

Later that day at 17:02 UTC, Bacon acknowledged Kenny McMorris for his contributions to community well-being by stating "Last Wednesday, we celebrated Kenny McMorris, a visionary leader for community well-being by reading his accomplishments into the Congressional Record!" This gesture highlights McMorris's impact as recognized within Congressional proceedings.

He mentioned that "A new study shows the University of Nebraska has a $6.4 billion economic impact, educating 1 in 7 Nebraskans. For every $1 invested, $10 returns to the state." The congressman expressed enthusiasm about meeting with university representatives during that week.
