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 Bake Off winner has already been decided, leaving viewers with little else than social media to hazard a guess at who might take the baking crown.
While it appears some contestants didn't have Twitter before starting the show (and have only posted a couple of pictures since), others have well-established accounts and blogs suggesting they want to boost their profiles for possible book deals and TV presenting opportunities once the series ends.
