The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up.

Grow this energy for 2026!

I mean, you gotta make sure when the hungry folks start rioting that you have the ability to throw them in jail for it. Bonus that depending on the punishment it also has the potential to make them ineligible to vote. Win win for them. Love that the “no masks” doesn’t apply to DHS though. Just us. 😒

Looking at the Federal Register this morning, DHS is moving up the effective date on a June rule that expanded its authority to charge people for certain criminal conduct around federal buildings. It was originally set to go into effect on January 1. It will now go into effect TOMORROW.

I. Background
On June 9, 2025, DHS published a final rule for the protection of federal property (90 FR 24217) (June 2025 rule). That rule implements regulations to protect property and prescribe reasonable penalties for misconduct. Specifically, the June 2025 rule makes the following changes:
• Codifies the full scope of DHS’s statutory authority to protect all federal buildings that fall within the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), rather than only GSA properties;
• Permits the charging of criminal activity occurring off federal property in accordance with 40 U.S.C. 1315 authority;
• Modifies the list of prohibited conduct to include, among other things, impersonation of security personnel, trespassing into closed areas, the wearing of masks when committing crimes, and tampering with computer systems;
• Updates definitions to account for evolving technologies and emerging threats such as unmanned aircraft and new tobacco products; and
• Clarifies and specifies in more detail the definition of “disorderly conduct.”

DHS set the effective date for the June 2025 rule at January 1, 2026. DHS included that effective date in the regulatory text. See 90 FR 24217, 24218 (Setting forth effective date in 6 CFR 139.5(e)). As DHS explained in the June 2025 rule, the time was necessary to make preparations such as training officers and publishing new signage.

II. Discussion

This final rule moves up the effective date of the June 2025 rule and then amends 6 CFR part 139 to reflect the new effective date. The June 2025 rule set the effective date at January 1, 2026. This final rule amends that effective date to Nov. 5, 2025. Thus, through this final rule, the effective date for the regulations under part 139 is Nov. 5, 2025. Finally, DHS, through this final rule, is also changing 6 CFR 139.5(e)—which originally marked January 1, 2026 as the effective date for the regulations published under part 139 of chapter 1 of title 6 of the Code of Federal Regulations—to now reflect the updated effective date as set forth by this final rule.
