Ron DeSantis and hinted at a criminal investigation Monday over the arrival of two flights of migrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas and then were sent to Sacramento, allegedly at the direction of Florida officials.The flight that arrived Monday with about 20 migrants followed the arrival Friday of 16 others from Colombia and Venezuela who had been taken by van from Texas to New Mexico and then put on a chartered plane to a small airport in the California capital, officials said.

Oops! Austria’s Social Democrats announce wrong winner of leadership contest 

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:29:10 GMT

In Austria, the elections really are rigged — by incompetence. The Social Democrats (SPÖ) said they’d declared the wrong candidate as the winner of a nail-biting party election over the weekend.Instead of Hans Peter Doskozil, the populist governor of the eastern Burgenland region, leftist small-town mayor Andreas Babler will take charge of the country’s oldest party. About 600 SPÖ delegates voted at an extraordinary party convention on Saturday. Doskozil celebrated what appeared to be a clear victory with 53 percent of the vote. In fact, Babler won with 53 percent to Doskozil’s 47 percent, according to the revised tally. Exactly what led to the bizarre turn of events remained unclear as of late Monday. SPD election director Michaela Grubesa offered a confused explanation at a press conference, blaming a “technical error by a colleague with an Excel table” during the tabulation of the results. The mistake was discovered during a recount on Monday, undertaken becau...
