Debbie says that there has been about a half-dozen laws/orders passed in the last 3 weeks that she believes are bait traps for the incoming administration & allied House & Senate if/when they revoke them.  The intent is to highlight them as 'uncaring' about things that benefit the lower & middle class while protecting business interests.

Yeah, I think you are right about the bait traps.  Because the Biden Admin. had 4 years to do this but they only started caring when they lost the election.
