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.If anyone's in need of an analogy for a chaotic workplace run by an incompetent, imbecile head right now - there's always the US version of The Office.
Brandon Smith provided the world with some much needed light relief by posting a video which re-imagined the opening credits of The Office, now including Donald Trump and his cabinet; with Trump himself slotting nicely into Steve Carell's role as the loud, buffoonish Michael Scott.
The video, rather tragically, works because of just how easy it is to track down embarrassing footage of Trump and his associates; from the already famous footage of Trump being terrified by a bald eagle, to Mike Pence (for some reason) holding a sign that says 'No Whining'.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, Transport Secretary Elaine Chao, and Jeff Sessions are also included in the short video packed to the brim with awkward exchanges, witless glances, and bar graphs; with a few shots of Washington D.C. to ensure everything is relocated from Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Saturday Night Live has announced Alec Baldwin, their resident Donald Trump impersonator, will be hosting the show on 11 February; which presumably will mean an entire episode dedicated to making fun of, and consequently enraging, Trump.
