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.With only two episodes of Love Island 2018 left, one can only image how gruelling the ITV2 producers will make them for our islanders.
So it seems they decided to give them a break, sending the remaining couples on incredibly lavish dates.
Megan and Wes got to go on a luxury boat ride, where the L-Bomb was once more dropped.
Meanwhile Kaz and Josh had a fairylight-lit dinner (I suppose candles were too dangerous with so many hair prodcuts), accompanied by a woman playing a white grand piano while a man danced in a hoop. Even Dr Alex and Alexandra made up after their acrimonious breakup.
But, as only Love Island knows how, the happiness soon gave way for suspense. The sunny Spanish skies fast turned grey as the islanders found out their fate.
The contestants had to vote for the couple that they wanted to put forward for eviction on Sunday (29 July) night. Tensions ran high, intense discussions about friendship and unconditional love were had, but choose they must.
After texting in their choices, we are left with three couples up for eviction. Josh and Kaz, Dr Alex and Alexandra, Laura and Paul. It had seemed so obvious that the two Alexs would go, but after scrabbling around to make-up - with £50,000 gleaming in their eyes - they may have clinched it.
So who will leave on Sunday? And with the parent visit looming, will we actually get to see Danny Dyer after all these weeks? Keep informed as we stay true to the cause, to the bitter end, and live-blog everything Love Island as it happens.
Please give the live blog a moment to load.
Love Island continues nightly, except Saturdays, on ITV2 at 9pm.
Jack bringing us all back to reality there: "There is nothing funnier than a fart."
Met with a chorus of boos, Josh is complaining about Kaz taking her makeup off when she's goes to bed. Sure there were a lot of caveats in there, but as the digging mime from Jack should've warned you, you're in a hole there.
On a more serious note, this is one of the definite downfalls of Love Island. Archaic stereotypes of gender, reinforcing unattainable beauty standards for women to maintain. Josh genuinely just complained about his girlfriend taking her makeup off after a big night out. How dare he.
And now we have Josh grovelling to Kaz, claiming he did not say he wished she kept makeup on at night (he did).
After letting us see your true colours, Josh, that £50,000 is fast flying away from you.
Laura, the Love Island breakup veteran, tells it how it is for Alexandra. Behind her back of course, not actually to her.
Dr Alex has just told us that left-handed people don't live as long.
Now I'm not saying that's not true, but his reasoning was that when you get older and try to open a right handed fridge with your left hand, you will bang your head and die.
This man is an actual doctor.

Megan and Wes are off on a boat trip, to sail away from this hellish isle perhaps?
