“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.
🚨 BREAKING: Major legal victory for MeidasTouch host Katie Phang.
Judge Emmet Sullivan has granted Phang's motion for a preliminary injunction, ordering the Trump administration to move forward on key transparency measures in the Epstein files case—including defending redactions, producing additional records, and publishing the disclosure log required by law.
@JamesSurowiecki The once-beautiful reflection pool has become a pure reflection of this administration. Dense, puke-green, slick and slimey, costly, and the bottom is beginning to surface in broken pieces.
BREAKING: In a stunning development in deep-red Ohio, Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton has out-fundraised her Republican challenger Vivek Ramaswamy. Let's go!
🚨DEMOCRATS DELIVER BIG RESULTS:
Illinois Governor Pritzker has just BALANCED the budget for the EIGHT consecutive time in his state.
It prioritizes affordability for working families without raising taxes on working people.
That includes $400 payments to Illinois families kicked off of SNAP by the Trump administration.
This is EXACTLY how Democrats should lead - in a way that centers the working class as the federal government strips resources and funding from states. This is HUGE.
@jasonllevin We need a huge all-star 3 day celebration (NOT in DC) much like the aide concerts that truly represent the joy of America and lifts us all from the sticky funk that tRump has put us in. Come on, @springsteen, get this done!!! Make it happen in multiple locations across the US.

You know what to do ‼️
Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached.
INCREDIBLE!
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.
Congrats!!
