The following day, he highlighted a sports achievement by the University of Nebraska's volleyball team. On September 2, 2025, he wrote: "Husker faithful got a great gift over the Labor Day weekend: a reverse sweep by @HuskerVB. Nebraska Volleyball is #1 in the nation for a reason! Congrats ladies!"
Later that same day, Senator Ricketts acknowledged his colleague Senator Joni Ernst’s service as she prepared to leave the Senate. He stated on September 2, 2025: "It’s been an honor to serve in the Senate the past two and a half years with @SenJoniErnst. Wishing her the best in her future endeavors. She is a patriot, combat veteran, and stalwart advocate for her state. I am grateful to have gotten to know her and will miss her friendship."
