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.

New Zealand musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords confirmed Friday they would not be returning for a third season of their Emmy-nominated US television series.

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement said on their website their HBO series had reached an end.

"We've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won't be returning for a third season," they said.

"We're very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended."

The series about a hapless pair of New Zealand musicians trying and failing to win fame and fortune in New York became a cult hit. The show received five Emmy nominations this year and four in 2008.

"While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist," the pair said.
