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.

Calling all Benedict Cumberbatch fans, you can now wear your favourite British actor from head to toe with this rather fetching outfit.

The Sherlock actor may have delighted fans last week with his recent Oscar nomination for his role as Alan Turning in the film Imitation Game, but even more pleasing (and perhaps slightly disturbing) is this new outfit enabling fans to wear the actor’s face.

The Los Angeles-based quirky womenswear label Poprageous is marketing “Cumberbitch” leggings and crop tops, even though the actor has denounced the term used to describe his female fans in the past, saying that it sets “feminism back”.

The matching leggings and tees are printed with a collage of images of the British star and they’re described as what “you cumberbitches asked for”, apparently.

The combo can be all yours for $125 (£85).
