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.

Many workers do not want their boss at the Christmas party, fearing his presence will spoil the fun or even spark a violent reaction, a study has found.

A survey by restaurant chain TGI Friday's found that one in three believed that having their boss around stops everyone having fun.

One in five said they did not want their boss to attend the office party at all, and 27 per cent were worried they might not be able to resist telling the boss exactly what they think of him.
