Following Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, there has been a "400% or 500% increase" in voter registration — between 9,000-10,000 people per hour, according to data firm TargetSmart. "It's really unlike anything I've seen," says TargetSmart senior adviser Tom Bonier.

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @USFWS employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

Vote #Kamala for the #GreatLakes 🌊🌊
.@RadioFreeTom: "For the GOP and the Trump faithful, Trump can say anything he wants. he's not held to any kind of account about policy. Trump could stand there and say, 'Lake Michigan is full of asparagus'. doesn’t matter whether it’s true, false, or completely insane."

He tries to lead by bullying, causes chaos for the sake of chaos to tear things down. Trump’s threats to Canada are just wrong. This lake is horrified and embarrassed 🌊🌊.
BREAKING: Trump has reportedly expressed a desire to “tear up the Great Lakes agreements and conventions between Canada and US that lay out how they share and manage Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario," per NYT.
