Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable
39th state to join the Union on November 2, 1889
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 840 Front Street in Casselton, North Dakota, as the "Commander Delbert Austin Olson Post Office".
The bill formally renames the Casselton post office to honor Commander Delbert Austin Olson and updates official records, providing symbolic recognition with minimal administrative or fiscal impact.
Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act
The bill centralizes and accelerates federal approval of cross‑border energy projects—benefiting industry and cross‑border trade through faster, more predictable permitting—while reducing state/local input and procedural safeguards and raising health, safety, and environmental risks for border communities and the public.
Designating November 22, 2025, as National Adoption Day and November 2025 as National Adoption Month to promote national awareness of adoption and the children awaiting families, celebrating children and families involved in adoption, and encouraging the people of the United States to secure safety, permanency, and well-being for all children.
This resolution raises awareness and encourages coordinated adoption efforts for children in foster care but does not provide funding or new services and may redirect attention away from other permanency supports like reunification and kinship care.
Designating November 1, 2025, as "National Bison Day".
The resolution raises the profile of bison restoration—recognizing Tribal cultural importance, economic roles, and conservation efforts—without providing funding or legal protections, which may raise expectations and invite management conflicts among stakeholders.
Designating October 26, 2025, as the "Day of the Deployed".
The resolution provides symbolic recognition and reaffirms support for service members and their families, but it creates no new funding or concrete policy changes, trading morale and visibility for limited practical impact and potential ambiguity in future priorities.
Congratulating the North Dakota State University Bison football team for winning the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football Championship Subdivision title.
This resolution ceremonially honors NDSU's athletic championship and yields modest boosts to campus morale and local visibility but provides no material benefits and may shift symbolic attention toward athletics rather than academics.
Reaffirming the deep and steadfast partnership between the United States and Canada and the ties that bind the 2 countries in support of economic and national security.
The resolution cements closer U.S.–Canada ties that support jobs, supply‑chain reliability, and regional security, but it raises the risk of higher taxpayer costs, greater exposure to cross‑border disruptions, and potential diversion of government resources from other domestic priorities.
