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.US TV bosses have commissioned a full series of the remake of British hit Gavin And Stacey.
The main characters are understood to retain the same names in the adaptation - called Us & Them - with Jason Ritter from Parenthood and Alexis Bledel, who has appeared in Mad Men, taking the main roles.
Gavin, who was originally played by Mathew Horne, will hail from New York rather than Billericay in Essex, and Stacey - who was first brought to life by Joanna Page - will come from smalltown Pennsylvania rather than Barry in South Wales.
The creators of the series, James Corden and Ruth Jones, are joined by Steve Coogan as executive producers of the show which has been snapped up by Fox.
The series is being made by Sony Pictures Television as well as BBC Worldwide.
