From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lady Gaga's latest album Born This Way stormed to the top of the charts this week, selling more copies than the rest of the top 10 combined.
With more than 215,000 sales, it achieved the biggest first week for an album so far this year, the Official Charts Company said yesterday.
The singer said: "I wrote the album's first single in Manchester because I was so inspired by the confidence and bravery characteristic of my fans: Little Monsters."
Her debut album, The Fame, joined her latest offering in the top 10 this week, climbing to number seven from last week's 11.
