But there's a catch.

Hi John,
I've just published a new blog post:
[link removed] Emergency
Terminated
Yesterday, Newsom announced he's finally doing what we've been trying
to get him to do for 800 days. He is ending the COVID-19 State of
Emergency.
But of course, there's a catch: he isn't ending it today. He's
ending it on February 28, 2023. That will be just under three years from
the day it began.
There's plenty of room for speculation as to why Newsom is announcing
this now and why he's absurdly scheduled it for a specific day next
February. Perhaps he realized that campaigning for higher office during
an "emergency" would seem untoward.
In any case, it is an important victory - an acknowledgment that
emergencies are not permanent and that autocracy is not the American
way. But it should have happened at any of these earlier dates:
* May 21, 2020: I introduced a Resolution to terminate the State of
Emergency
* June 11, 2020: Gallagher and I sued Newsom for abusing his emergency
powers
* Nov. 2, 2020: We won the trial and secured a restraining order against
Newsom
* Mar. 15, 2021: I introduced a new Resolution to terminate the
Emergency
* Feb. 10, 2022: We forced a vote on the Assembly Floor to end the
Emergency, right before LA hosted the Super Bowl.
Through it all, we worked to empower local communities to chart their
own course, unencumbered by Newsom's decrees. 13 counties passed our
**Healthy Communities Resolution**and became sanctuaries for liberty in
the most oppressive of times.
While we've at last ended this era of one-man, what comes next is even
more important. We must make sure it never happens again.
Help me restore liberty and self-government
