This is *permanent* (not preliminary) injunction. Earlier, the judge consolidated Harris' motion for a preliminary injunction and the merits, treating the briefings as cross-motions for summary judgment . Harris' motion for summary judgment has been GRANTED, and her job has been fully reinstated.

These 1,000 men and women are heroes.
Tweet from photographer Jeremy Lidenfeld: Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters. They told me: - they hadn't showered in 5 days - they were not provided regularly meals - they were working 24 hours in a row - they feel under appreciated and underpaid They also said they all wanted to be there & that they see the work as an important way to give back to the community.

In case anyone was wondering why the tinkle tape traitor woke up with a Panamanian bug up his ass seemingly out of the clear blue sky…

This is why:
Because he’s being investigated for tax evasion in Panama.
Who’s shocked?
Is anyone?
Anyone at all?
