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.

Your support makes all the difference.After weeks of anticipation, Black Friday is over for another year but there’s still time to bag a bargain, as Cyber Monday is officially here. The good news is that Amazon has kept many of its top offers rolling into the new week, meaning now is the perfect time to restock your beauty products, invest in a new TV, or add a high-spec laptop to your basket. However, you’ll need to be quick, as the deals will cease to exist once the clock strikes midnight.
The online retailer goes all out for the annual sale, with big discounts on big-name brands, from Nintendo Switch consoles, air fryers and Apple gadgets to Shark vacuums and Ninja appliances. Whatever you’re in the market for, it’s a great time to snap up a saving from brands that have been tried and tested by The Independent.

Like the oasis, the paperwhite is waterproof – it’s able to withstand submersion in 2m of water for up to an hour.”
Amazon Echo dot, 5th gen: Was £54.99, now £22.99, Amazon.co.uk
Reduced by a huge 58 per cent, Amazon’s Echo dot is perfect for those on a budget. Tech critic Alex said, “the fifth generation smart speaker has even better sound than all the Echo Dots that have come before it (a mean feat given how hard it is to eek good sound out of a small device).” Praising its top functionality and neat new indoor temperature sensor, he said it can be placed anywhere in your home to deliver weather reports, set timers, play music, podcasts, the news and more.
Ring video doorbell (2024 release): Was £99.99, now £59, Amazon.co.uk
The newest version of our favourite tried and tested video doorbell is now 41 per cent off at Amazon thanks to its Cyber Monday sale. One of our home testers, Zoe, found the second-generation Ring doorbell to be the best overall in her review, and now the newest model can be all yours for less than £60.

Best household deals
Eufy HomeVac H11 handheld vacuum cleaner: Was £49.99, now £29.99, Amazon.co.uk
This handy Eufy device has previously been sold for about £40, so, Amazon’s discount isn’t quite as generous as it first seems, but, at just shy of £30, the H11 is still worth snapping up in the sale. It was dubbed the best budget buy in IndyBest’s guide to the best handheld vacuum cleaners, with reviewer Zoe saying: “While it weighs a measly 0.5kg, the H11 is seriously powerful, making quick crumb clean-ups in the kitchen and sweeps of the car a doddle.”
Ninja zerostick stainless steel 30cm frying pan: Was £59.99, now £44.99, Amazon.co.uk
Our household expert and culinary whizz Siobhan picked this pan from Ninja as the best non-stick frying pan in our review. After testing it out Siobhan said she was “seriously impressed” by the pan’s capabilities. She went on to say: “Cooking results are nothing short of outstanding. The pan delivers perfectly even heat, so everything cooks at the same time, and we ditched the oil completely when making some dishes yet food never stuck to the bottom or burned.” To top it all off the drying pan now has 25 per cent off at Amazon, I’m sold.
Le Creuset signature enamelled cast iron round casserole dish with lid: Was £239, now £168.75, Amazon.co.uk

Usually priced at over £700, Amazon is offering a 25 per cent discount on this machine, which our tester Pete found to be a sleek and elegant addition to any modern kitchen, as well as being quieter than most. What he really loved about this washer-dryer is its “ecobubble” tech, which provided “great results at relatively low temperatures, which could help to minimise the risk of delicate materials getting shrunk in the wash”.
Ninja foodi max dual zone air fryer: Was £239.99, now £154.99, Amazon.co.uk
Out of all the air fryers that Lauren reviewed – she has also been testing a whole host of air fryers for us – she said this one was “the most powerful”, adding that her food ended up “a lot tastier and crispier, compared with when cooking in other air fryer models”. The gadget has six settings – roast, air fry, bake, reheat, crisp and dehydrate – and you can set each of the two drawers to cook different things, at different temperatures, at the same time. Snap it up now while it has more than 35 per cent off.

Working quickly, it was also “unbelievably quiet and smart, thanks to the handy VeSync app and Alexa and Apple Home integration”, they said. There’s even “a modern LED display that told [them] how dirty the air was, by using different colours.” Even better, snap it up with this Black Friday deal, and you can save more than £50.

Shark corded stick vacuum cleaner: Was £179.99, now £139, Amazon.co.uk
This Shark corded vacuum is a steal with 23 per cent off. Vacuum cleaner connoisseur Zoe tested this model and considered it strong enough to land a spot in our guide to the best corded vacuum cleaners. She said: “This nifty corded stick vacuum made cleaning a pleasure (well, almost) due to its slim, lightweight design, plus Shark’s flexology technology, which means a flexible wand bends at the touch of a button to reach underneath low-lying beds, sofas and coffee tables with no need to lift them or bend down.” Thanks to Amazon, there’s no better time to invest.
Sage the barista express espresso bean to cup coffee machine: Was £629.95, now £449, Amazon.co.uk

Duux threesixty 2 portable smart ceramic heater: Was £119.99, now £86.73, Amazon.co.uk
Temperatures are well and truly dropping, so it’s time we get prepared for the colder months ahead by investing in a quality electric heater.

Zoe, one of our reviewers well-versed in home appliances said: “It was powerful enough to warm up a room of 30sqm. For less than £100, we found it to be a well-made, good-looking heater that we could use throughout the year.” Now it has almost 30 per cent off thanks to Amazon.

Best tech deals

Our tech expert David tested out this Apple Watch SE a couple of years back, and it’s safe to say he was impressed. It comes with a lower carbon footprint than previous models, and despite being much more affordable, it still hosts all the same speedy and exciting features, making it a fast and responsive device. In his review, David recommended this model specifically for parents, saying: “It makes it an ideal choice for that new trend: parents buying a smartwatch for their children instead of a phone.”

You can save 26 per cent on this Polaroid now gen 2 camera, which featured in our round-up of the best instant cameras of 2024. Ideal for achieving that classic Polaroid print, our tech writer Alex chose this model as the best vintage-style instant camera for its ability to “transport you back in time”. “Overall, it’s easy to use but fairly basic – you just point, half-click to focus and full click to take the picture,” he said. “Auto-focus works great – it’s a lot more convenient than lining up your subject with the focus hole, meaning the whole picture is in focus, rather than the centre figure.”
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9: Was £899, now £599, Johnlewis.com
Samsung’s premium tablet topped my list of the best tablets until it was replaced by the newer Galaxy Tab S10 earlier this year. Despite being a year old, the Galaxy Tab S9 is still a blistering fast Android device with a rich and vibrant OLED display and a responsive S-Pen stylus included.

The PSVR2 is cheaper than ever this Black Friday. When tech expert Steve reviewed the headset, he found it to be an “excellent virtual reality headset for the price”.

Amazon really is delivering the goods when it comes to Cyber Monday gaming deals. The online giant (along with Argos and John Lewis) has reduced the PlayStation 5 to an all-time low, so now’s the time to buy before Christmas. When reviewing it, Steve said that it “packs a serious punch, with performance and graphics rivalling a mid- to high-end gaming PC”. A “catalogue of exclusive games – many of them truly unmissable experiences – gives the PS5 a slight edge over the (technically more powerful) Xbox series X”, he added.
Oura gen3 horizon smart ring: Was £299, now £249, Amazon.co.uk
High up on many Christmas wishlists this year, the Oura smart ring is a revolutionary device that helps track your sleep, activity, stress, heart rate and more.

Compared to the cheaper Meta Quest 3S, the VR headset uses high-quality lenses for a sharper image, is slightly slimmer, and with 512GB of storage, it can store more games, videos and content. In his review of the Meta Quest 3, our tech expert Alex described it as “an astounding virtual-reality headset”, adding that it’s “arguably the best consumer VR device currently out there”. “With full-colour passthrough, a faster processor, a more comfortable and ergonomic fit, as well as better hand tracking and, of course, those sweet, sweet pancake lenses that make everything so much more stable, this is the VR headset to beat,” he wrote.

Testing the device for his standalone review, time-earned tech pro David praised its “fast, smooth and responsive” performance. He enjoyed both the “raise your arm to wake the watch” feature and, uniquely to the series 9, the fact that “you can tap your index finger and thumb together twice” to end phone calls, snooze alarms and perform a myriad of other actions. Pretty nifty stuff, eh?

When does Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales end?
Amazon’s Black Friday sale ends at 11:59pm on 2 December. The retailer’s official sale started on 21 November with deals dropping continuously. Our shopping experts have been working night and day to find the best deals and will continue to do so until the sale ends.
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Cyber Monday takes place on the Monday after Black Friday, which means, this year, it falls on 2 December 2024. Traditionally, Black Friday would see retailers launch competitive discounts both in-store and online, while Cyber Monday was the go-to day for tech deals and online-exclusive brands. While it’s true that you will find some brilliant offers on gadgets, the two events aren’t as distinct as they used to be, meaning you can still expect to find savings on pretty much every category, including kitchen appliances, fashion, beauty products and toys.
How much is Amazon Prime?
