Watching the hearing, I have a minor complaint.

Every committee member has a nice name plate in front if them that identifies them with a minimal honorific followed by their last name. Nothing more is provided.

Why, I wonder, do they hide their party affiliation and the state they represent? As a viewer, I don't need to know the member's gender pronoun. If it is important to know, then usually their appearance is enough to establish that question.

Some of them I recognise, but others I don't. Like I said, it's a minor annoyance, but their name plates would be much more useful if it fully identified the members with their full name, party and state.
