I pray for a restful peace for Mike and comforting peace for Mike’s family and his friends.

I also pray that we will have more leaders like Pete in our country.

The only blockbuster aspect of Trump's Thursday rant was the volume of falsehoods.Johnson citing Communists and Marxists without mentioning White Christian nationalist supremacists is ironic. Evangelical support of Trump and his klan disparages Christianity. Of course Johnson could not comment on the economy as Trump et al create economic hardships. Lastly, my condolences on the death of your friend Mike. Cancer is nonpartisan.

List NE congressman who didn’t do what his president wanted. White Christian Nationalists? Give it a break - would have thought you were too smart to put three words together so you can creat a boogey man. Grow up

This Politico story about cancer in Iowa landed in my in-box about the same time as your writing. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/07/19/iowa-water-democrats-agriculture-00992753

I am sorry for the loss of your friend Mike. My husband died of cancer this week. Thank you for addressing this baffling and infuriating situation in Iowa. We need to have leaders who hear this every day.

I will pray for Mike and his family. Cancer is the devil and all people, no matter the party or even those with no party, need to work together to help those fighting this scourge and discover why it’s so prevalent! And still awaiting the Blockbuster Information in Thursday night’s rant.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. I live in northwest Iowa. In the last six months we have lost two friends to cancer and two more are now fighting for their lives. Cancer is apolitical but it seems that corporate influence (money) trumps the cost in lives devastated by this disease. (Pun intended.)
