    Trump discussing resumption of MAGA rallies: report
    
    Former President Trump is discussing the possibility of resuming his signature Make America Great Again rallies as he seeks to remain a part of the political conversation while out of office and silenced on Twitter.
    
    CNN reported that Trump is considering the resumption of his rallies and that he may hold events to support candidates challenging Republicans who have criticized him, such as Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), one of seven GOP senators who voted to convict the former president in his second impeachment trial for inciting a mob to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6.

      I hope TFG's talented staff arranges the anti-Murkowski rally Juneau, it's the capital, right? Therefore turnout would be huge.

Biden’s speech.

Yahoo roundup of Republican sentiments about it led with the photo & caption “Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) during U.S. President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol on April 28, 2021.” The picture shows her staring at her phone. Other sources also had frequent mention of her steady stream of tweets.

Cameras caught Sen. Ted Cruz dozing off while Biden addressed immigration reform. His statement after: “boring, but radical.” That might win for political oxymoron of the month.

The Republican Party has nothing – nothing. No platform (literally), no policies, no ideas, no imagination. They're the party of "no" and of "nothing." I can't help but think that more and more folks in the middle (not tied to one party or the other) will see this and will come to appreciate the work that the Biden administration is doing. Republicans whine, Democrats act.

Lawdy, Mother's husband is back:

Pence makes foray back into politics with speech to S.C. conservatives

The address gives Pence an opportunity to highlight what conservatives see as the best of the previous administration’s record and position himself for the beginning of a potential presidential campaign in 2024.
