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.Earlier this week, we thought the world's best job was a kitten cuddler, after a cat-rehoming centre in Newcastle asked for volunteers to help them stroke some tiny felines.
However, the title of world's greatest career may have changed hands now that the role of "teaching an otter pup to swim" has emerged in Chicago.
The Shedd Aquarium unveiled its latest resident this week: Pup 691, an orphaned southern sea otter pup only five weeks old and weighing just six pounds.
Pup 681 arrived in the Windy City on October 28 after being rescued by state wildlife officials on the southern California coast. She was then taken to Monterey Bay Aquarium before arriving at Shedd, an aquarium with 25 years' experience caring for fragile sea otter pups.
In the latest video from the Shedd team, pup 681 can be seen floating in a tiny swimming pool at the aquarium as well as being fed with a milk bottle.
Most of Shedd's current sea otters have been rescued, with the original four coming to the Chicago-based aquarium in 1989 after the devastating Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.
