NOT BREAKING NEWS: John F. Kennedy Jr. is dead.

QAnon believers have reportedly gathered in Dallas, Texas in anticipation of a big announcement from John F. Kennedy Jr.—but they may be waiting some time, as Kennedy died in a plane crash 22 years ago. The gathering was spotted by independent journalist Steven Monacelli, the publisher of Protean Magazine and contributor to The Daily Beast. He posted Monday night that a big crowd of “what appears to be QAnon believers” gathered in downtown Dallas ahead of an expected announcement by Kennedy at Dealey Plaza later this week. Monacelli even spotted people wearing campaign t-shirts saying: “Trump/JFK JR 2024.” Some QAnoners believe Kennedy faked his own death and is now Q, the anonymous leader of their conspiracy movement. However, Kennedy died after crashing into the Atlantic Ocean on July 16, 1999.

QAnon Trump supporters gathered in Texas because they believed JFK Jr. faked his own death and was going to announce he would be Trump’s running mate in 2024.”

A new poll published on Sunday found that about 7 in 10 Americans know 'just some' or even less about what's in both the Biden administration's infrastructure and social spending bills. 

Despite 55 percent of respondents saying they were following negotiations about the bills at least somewhat closely, only 31 percent said they know a great deal or good amount about what's in the legislation...
