Items of note

Things to read later:

• We're heading into our fifth day of record temperatures in Chicago. Since records began in the 1870s, we've had five days above 21C—two of them this year. Tomorrow should be similarly warm. Followed, of course, by normal February weather this weekend.
• James Fallows takes a break from his book to warn about President Trump's assault on the media.
• Brian Beutler suggests FBI Director James Comey should treat Donald Trump just the way he treated Hillary Clinton, if for no other reason than to help people see the FBI as an apolitical police force rather than as a partisan army.
• What's this about Sweden, anyway?
