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.Comedy actress Miranda Hart seems to be going on a new year health kick - and then undoing it with a cheeky tipple.
The Call The Midwife star is encouraged to try some "sip-ups" during a recording of one of the shows for Channel 4's Mash Up on Friday as she replaces Alan Carr as host of Chatty Man.
Hart tries some stomach crunches then enjoys a quick reward between each sit-up as she grabs a slurp of booze.
Carr is one of the guests on the show as she becomes the presenter but he cannot resist taking control and encouraging her in the stunt.
The Mash Up sees a range of the station's presenters handing over duties to celebrity stand-ins for the night.
Carr is to host a special edition of The Million Pound Drop which will see ITV's Loose Women star Denise Welch, Sherrie Hewson, Lisa Maxwell and Jane McDonald competing, as well Richard Bacon and Alexander Armstrong, aiming to win £1 million for their charities.
In a series of sketches during the night Carr will be seen trying to raise the prize money when he loses the cash before the show begins.
The Mash Up evening will also feature a Come Dine With Me special featuring an array of comedians as Angelos Epithemiou, Olivia Lee, Pete Firman and Stan Boardman take on the dinner party challenge.
