“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.

We have a neighbor in Baldwin Park who posts daily musings. This one made me laugh out loud.

Happy 3d of July!

@atrupar They should get the vandal who brought a convoy of heavy vehicles across the reflecting pool while the coating was being applied and curing.

Warehouse in Surprise Arizona valued at 12 million sold to HS for 70 million.

Another in Social Circle, Georgia valued at 30 million and sold to HS for 130 million.

One in Roxbury New Jersey valued at 54 million and sold for 129 million.

Tremont PA worth 60 million and sold for 120 million dollars.

Salt Lake City 90 million sold for 145 million.

I’d like to see where the money went and how much people in the Trump administration got paid in kickbacks.

On just 5 warehouses our government overpaid by 348 million dollars. Kristi Noem should be in prison and we should stop sending taxes to the federal government. They can no longer be trusted with our money.

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it.

But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.

Dolly Parton is a rich woman, but instead of obsessing about building a golden ballroom, she has made more than 300 million books accessible to children.

Be more like Dolly.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here's how the corruption works:

Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump

Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it

Friday: FDA changes the policy

VP Vance also asked triumphantly in a Monday speech: "How is it that we've seen the biggest growth in manufacturing employment last quarter that we have seen in this country since Donald J. Trump was president the first time?”

We...have not seen that. There were bigger gains in manufacturing employment in six of the Biden administration's seven full quarters in 2021 and 2022. (And two of those quarters came after the economy had already gotten back to its pre-pandemic level of manufacturing employment.)

The Trump administration lied about why they needed a $70 million luxury plane which now flies Melania, Jared & other top Trump officials in luxury. And they bought it from connected mega-donors. While the American people are struggling, they are cashing in. We need answers now.

[Mitch Jackson, Esq. @mitchjackson]

Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd.

The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trump’s tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020.

405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked.

Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison.

On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid.

He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it.

The taxpayer foots the bill either way.

Just to recap:

Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops.

In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Hegseth is furious that NATO won't join his war. NATO isn't Israel's military. The US chose to become Israel's military. That was your decision.

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

LARA TRUMP: “This anti-war retired General has no idea what it means to serve in the military.”

This has to be the dumbest comment on the internet so far in 2026.

Marco Rubio: “Just because you’re born on U.S. soil doesn’t make you a citizen. Your parents must be U.S. citizens.”

BREAKING: I just motioned to subpoena Don Trump Jr. for funneling $670 million in taxpayer dollars to a critical minerals company he has financial stake in.
