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.

When RFK was running for president he said he would stop research on drug development and infectious diseases for eight years.
TikTok served me an RFK town hall. He spent 10 minutes talking about vaccines, implied they cause autism; then said that he wasn't anti-vax, just anti- all vaccines we currently have, and says as POTUS he'd stop research on drug development and infectious diseases for 8 years.

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.
