NEW: Elon Musk recently met with Iran's ambassador to the U.N. Amir Saeid Iravani, according to two sources familiar with the meeting, which happened at the ambassador's residence in New York.

It is not clear if President-elect Trump was aware of the meeting.

Clark County and the City of Las Vegas ramped up punitive measures to criminalize the unhoused last week. Clark County passed an anti-camping ban while Vegas expanded its 2019 ordinance that bans sitting and sleeping on sidewalks. https://t.co/il99G3QhpS via @NevadaCurrent

@briantylercohen And Nevada didn't have a voter ID law for this election. A ballot measure to require voter ID literally just passed on Tuesday.

From the article: "The Peterson Institute for International Economics has estimated that mass deportation could reduce U.S. economic productivity and job growth by as much as 7.4% and 6.7%, respectively, below baseline projections of what would happen without mass deportation."

Trump's re-election is fueling economic uncertainty. Partly b/c proposed tariffs would drive up inflation since the costs are passed onto consumers and immigration measures would reduce the labor force. @aprilcore reports.

Elon Musk joined Trump's phone call with Zelensky on Wednesday, multiple sources tell @ABC.
Zelensky wrote on social media that he had an "excellent" call with Trump but made no mention of Musk.

I'm sorry but in a sea of terrible post-election breakdowns, Democratic lawmakers arguing these losses are the result of Dem candidates not being transphobic enough is an EXCEPTIONALLY stupid take.

For years, Jovan Jackson has lobbied for legislative and local change to the justice system. He is on track to win his first election, become NV's first formerly incarcerated elected to the legislature.

The @NVSOS received confirmation at 9:45pm PST that all polls in Nevada have closed and the last voter has voted. The initial, unofficial results were posted at 9:55pm on https://t.co/qgSErLtK4L.

Results will continue to be updated throughout the night.

[April Corbin Girnus @aprilcore]

NEVADA CANNOT RELEASE RESULTS UNTIL THE LAST VOTER HAS VOTED. Sorry not sorry that we have people who've been standing in line for at least 2.5 hours to cast their ballot. Respect the process, you impatient horde.
