I love that Cassidy Hutchinson did what all theses older men with established careers lacked the huevos to do, and did it an a suffragette white suit. May seem like a trite thing to say, but it was a meaningful style choice that help made for an impactful (and I hope iconic) image.

As Robert Ailes was so found of reminding women, television is a "visual medium".

What did we learn yesterday?

One, that a 26-year-old woman has more balls than the vast majority of GOP representatives and senators put together. It is what courage looks like.

Two, Orange Chicken is scared. Very scared. He doesn't do diarrhea commentary with his thumbs unless he feels threatened. It is his defense mechanism, and a poor one at that. He hears footsteps behind him. He sees shadows in the dark. The clock ticks louder at night as he thinks in solitude about what might happen when all of the testimony and evidence is added up. It must be hell living with that pressure -- 1,000 percent earned and deserved. Hopefully it is a first step in his accountability, not a last one.

Three, the committee is doing its job, and doing it well. They are delivering the goods. They are methodically building a convincing, compelling case. History books will remember this moment as a time when they rose to the task when our democracy needed it. What remains to be seen is what we do with what they give us and how those same history books will remember us when it becomes our turn to act.
