“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.

🇺🇸 Donald Trump is going to lift the ban on mailing handguns directly to homes. That helps GrabAGun, the online gun store his son has a stake in. He’d rake in billions.
In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and He would have faced at least 2 years in jail.
Q: Are you afraid to be speaking out?
Jack Smith: No, not at all. I am not going to be intimidated. If the thought was to go after me so that I wouldn't speak up about the corruption that's happening or speak up to defend these agents and prosecutors, that is a grave miscalculation.
Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…
While Canada and Europe ban growth hormones in our milk, the US dairy farmers use it to increase milk in cows which is harmful to humans and cows. We will not bend to their demands. #CUSMA#rBGH#dairy#milk#meat

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward.
Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.
“Hello Melania Trump.
My name is Juliette Bryant — an Epstien survivor.
You want girls to testify under oath? Here I am. Everything I’ve said is TRUE.
Too bad so many of the girls who already testified ended up dead.
Maybe it’s time you and your husband testify under oath too.
What are you hiding?”
NEWS: The Trump Administration tried to force us to turn over the personal, private information of 8 million Pennsylvania voters.
We won in court to stop them.
No matter what the Trump Administration tries next, we’re going to stand up to protect Pennsylvanians’ right to privacy — and our fundamental right to vote.
