NEW: After Judge Cooper entered his written order this afternoon in the Florida mask mandate case, the state appealed.

By law, that automatically stays the judge’s order.

However, plaintiffs (families) have just filed a motion to vacate that stay.

Judge Cooper’s written order issued earlier this afternoon, which formalizes his verbal order from Friday:

NEW: Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson tells me “there is no question” the Florida legislature will consider an abortion heartbeat bill like Texas’ in this upcoming session.

“It’s something we’re already working on.”

More tonight on @WFLA at 4/5/6

As my political colleague @scontorno pointed out in today’s @TB_Times Buzz, this type of legislation is something @GovRonDeSantis has supported in the past.

NEW: @GovRonDeSantis responds to a question from a reporter about whether he supports bringing the Texas abortion bill to Florida.

"We'll have to look, I'm going to look more significantly at it... I've always been somebody that really does support protections for life..."

😷DAY 4 OF MASK MANDATE BAN TRIAL😷

Closing arguments have just begun — You can watch along here

Whisenhunt will do closing for the plaintiffs' families

Dr. Kriseman testified yesterday, left us w chilling thought - hospitals are bursting at seams

How can we prevent school boards from doing whats in their constitutional authority

It's what school boards are elected to do
Whisenhunt: we've heard from various doctors, experts, different fields, pediatric, pulmonology, immunology — all of whom are involved in a very real, local fight against #COVID19.

They explained reality of #DeltaVariant and how it is different and dangerous

😷DAY 3: FLORIDA MASK TRIAL😷

The final day of the trial begins in a few moments.

Several Florida families are suing @GovRonDeSantis and the Dept. of Education over the ban on school mask mandates.

Defense will begin this morning.

WATCH LIVE:
OK here we go.

Sheridan: before we begin -- objection. Defense plans to call what we refer to as "parent witnesses." Concerned parties, care about kids, but our position is they are neither fact witnesses nor experts.

So objection is relevance.
Judge Cooper: accelerated time schedule. Here's how I look at it. I'm being asked to weigh lots of important issues. It's reasonable for me to hear positions of people who aren't doctors, but are citizens with thoughts on this.

😷DAY 2: FLORIDA MASK TRIAL😷

Day two of the trial begins in a few moments.

Several Florida families are suing @GovRonDeSantis and the Dept. of Education over the ban on mask mandates.

Plaintiffs (families) are still presenting their case.

WATCH LIVE:
I live tweeted Day 1 of the trial yesterday, you can see that whole thread here:

As I mentioned yesterday, it sounds like the families' attorneys will be calling Dr. Mona Mangat of St. Petersburg as a witness today.

I've spoken with her before about her #COVID19 concerns:

😷FLORIDA MASK TRIAL STARTS TODAY😷
Good morning! I'll be covering the trial, which begins today and is expected to wrap up by Wednesday.

Several Florida families (at least 4 from Tampa Bay) are suing @GovRonDeSantis and state agencies over the ban on mask mandates.

You can watch along with me at the link below.

I will also be live tweeting as much as possible throughout the day, with video whenever I can pull it off!

I will also have reports on @WFLA in this evening's news.

Here is a link to the trial documents so far — the initial complaint from plaintiffs/Florida families, the defendants' (DeSantis et. al.) motion to dismiss—denied last week, hence trial today—and the plaintiffs' memorandum of law in opposition to the MTD
