I'll get to the final head-to-head comparison between my Garmin Venu and Fitbit Ionic later today. Meanwhile:
- The Dept of Homeland Security plans to deploy 150 agents to Chicago, and no one will say why.
- Could Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan finally face consequences for his career-spanning corruption?
- Charles Blow asks: where's the outrage?
- Bruce Schneier explains and hypothesizes about the Twitter class break last week.
And finally, because our Covid-19 numbers have started creeping up, indoor bar service will halt on Friday.
