can someone in the candy industry tell me if this is impossible: small chunks of real strawberries coated in chocolate that won’t melt like an M&M or something

I feel like it would be a nice lil movie theater snack
(and yes I’m tweeting this because we made chocolate-covered strawberries tonight)
maybe you can’t mass produce it but small candy shops could pull it off? The whole strawberries are too big and the chocolate always cracks and makes a mess. But little chunks would 1) allow for more chocolate surface area and 2) be easier to eat
and they have to be real juicy strawberries not freeze dried because it would not be the SAME

(deleted my tweets about AOC's story about January 6th because she's still telling it and my initial tweets didn't include very key details she's sharing now)
This is what I tweeted about—took it down because she said after describing this that the man was a Capitol Police officer. She said he didn't announce himself first and that she feared for her life. He told her to go to a different office building.
I am not discounting the terror she must have felt, and she raises valid concerns about how the officer acted. But a lot of coverage is going to get this wrong bc of her initial portrayal of what she thought was happening. Members of the mob didn't actually break into her office.

(It's really worth emphasizing in all of the news coverage about the rift within the House Republican Conference that one side has maybe 10-20 people on it and the other side has... basically everyone else.)
(I mean this is an oversimplification of the group who didn't object to the Electoral College results, so most generously it's like about 1/3rd versus nearly two thirds. But most of those members aren't super involved in this public debate over, like, the future of the party.)
(So it's really like three groups: the nearly two-thirds who objected to electoral college results, the folks who quietly disagreed and stayed out of it, and the small contingent of people like Cheney and Kinzinger who have been very vocal about splitting with the majority)

If there was a brief moment after January 6 in which congressional Republicans were willing to seriously examine the attack on the Capitol and demand accountability for Trump’s behavior, it’s pretty clear that moment has passed.
uphill.thedispatch.com/p/uphill-senat…
Some of this can be attributed to the echo chamber: Every day that has passed between January 6 and the beginning of the trial has been another day Republican senators have been absorbing talking points against impeachment from conservative media sources and their constituents.
Dems say the delay will also give impeachment managers time to gather evidence and make a stronger case. But we’ve also watched Republicans rally around the “impeaching a former president is unconstitutional/a waste of time” talking point in the past few days

elected Republicans and conservative media already trying to convince each other the attackers were not Trump supporters Image
what’s annoying is it’s going to work for a lot of folks. and people I know personally are going to be repeating these talking points as soon as today
(and that’s the point. it gives people cover—no matter how evidence-free—to say “what about antifa!” instead of addressing what happened yesterday in any substantive way. it’s exhausting and it sucks that so many people are completely unwilling to grapple with reality)

JUST NOW: The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passes the UIGHUR Act, a bill to condemn the Chinese government for its mass internment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, with a vote of 406-1.
The bill would also enable Global Magnitsky Act sanctions on Chinese officials deemed responsible for the concentration camps and require the State Department to assemble a report on human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
The lone no vote was Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie.

Bipartisan group of lawmakers to send letter to NBA commissioner on China, from Reps. Tom Malinowksi, Mike Gallagher, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jim Banks, and Sens. Ben Sasse, Ron Wyden, Tom Cotton, and Ted Cruz
“It is outrageous that the Chinese Communist Party is using its economic power to suppress the speech of Americans inside the United States,” they'll say, per a draft obtained by CNN. “It is also outrageous that the NBA has caved to Chinese government demands for contrition.”
They write the NBA “should have anticipated the challenges of doing business in a country run by a repressive single party government—including by being prepared to stand in strong defense of the freedom of expression of its employees, players, and affiliates across the globe.”
