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. nevadacurrent.com/2024/11/11… via @NevadaCurrent

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.

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 Results.NV.gov.
Results will continue to be updated throughout the night.

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.
Organizers with @makeroadactNV just made an entrance to the NV Democratic watch party.
