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.

Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth gets back to work after his phenomenal success with The King's Speech. Firth, 50, was seen on set this weekend in central London, filming the Joel and Ethan Coen-scripted remake of the 1966 crime caper, Gambit.

Chatting on a mobile phone by Westminster Cathedral, Firth went almost unnoticed as shoppers and tourists flocked past, many taking pictures of the London landmark instead. In the film, Firth plays a London art curator who tries to con a wealthy collector into buying a fake Monet. The film also stars Cameron Diaz as a Texan rodeo worker who is roped into the plot. The original film – starring Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine – was nominated for three Oscars.
