It's not the only last minute thing the administration does that it could have done before:

- Launched rockets from Ukraine - remote work contracts extended to 2029 after Elon + Vivek wants people to RTO - TikTok ban

And the classic answer is always the same here: ,,it was all planned for years'' (sure, but the decision is made after the elections on purpose)

We all know how a distant deadline can make us slack off. Then suddenly the deadline is in three months instead of four years, you’ll discover a bunch of things you could do faster.

That’s not to excuse the slowness, but I imagine this stuff was in process for a while.

The decision regarding TikTok was not made after the election and the law was passed with strong bi-partisan support.

I'm surprised to see somebody presumably on the Republican side complaining about norm violations.
