Trump wants to put a prominent anti-vaxxer with no medical qualifications in charge of health. Please vote to stop him.

"Donald Trump said late on Thursday that he wants the vaccine skeptic Robert F Kennedy Jr “to take care of health”, including “women’s health” if the former president wins back the White House in this election."

Millions of lives depend on vaccines being widely and freely available.

Unpopular rulings on #elections, #abortion, presidential #immunity, #guns & other issues — as well as the #criminal cases against #Trump, which will likely move forward if he loses — have driven down public #trust in #SCOTUS & the #justice system.

That decline may be hard to reverse no matter which candidate prevails — especially if the courts play a role in deciding the winner.

(via @rmondello)

TL:DW - Trump is far worse on Gaza, Trump is Netanyahu's preferred candidate. And there are other issues such as climate change where Trump is threatening the entire planet. Rich will get richer, poor get poorer and world will burn.

Why the Houston Chronicle makes endorsements: "Newspapers don’t endorse candidates. Editorial boards do. The editorial board is separate from the newsroom...We do it as a service to our readers and to our democracy, which cannot flourish without an informed citizenry."

The editorial board of the Houston Chronicle isn't afraid to endorse Kamala Harris for president.
