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.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the NBA Finals and their fans celebrated across the world Tuesday night.

After the 105-97 Game 6 victory over the Cavaliers, Warriors’ fans and NBA fans hopped on Twitter to celebrate the team’s first championship since 1975.

And acknowledging that LeBron didn’t exactly get the help he needed from his role players.

People began placing a crying Michael Jordan onto nearly every Cavs player.

People also brought up Carmelo Anthony, the former teammate of Cleveland Cavaliers guards Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith.

And took direct shots at Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith — Anthony’s former teammates.

And when Andrea Iguodala — often referered to as Iggy — was announced the Finals MVP, Iggy Azalea came into the picture.
