Serious history was made on Capitol Hill this week. No, not that whole President Trump impeachment thing. That’s already happened to two other presidents — Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton — and would have happened to Richard M. Nixon if he hadn’t resigned first. Nothing groundbreaking there.

Last week, President Trump tweeted a photograph intended to mock House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In the photo she is standing at the table in the Cabinet Room wagging her finger at Mr. Trump, who’s surrounded by a table full of other men also sitting, some with heads bowed.
