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.

It's Throwback Thursday (better known as #tbt) and with all the fuss surrounding the return of Back to The Future, we’ve, ironically, travelled back in time to revive the heydays of a young Michael J Fox (Marty McFly) in his denim and bomber jackets in the 1985 iconic film.

We're reviving some of Tommy Hilfiger's most iconic pieces, as online luxury retailer MyTheresa.com teams up with the American giant to create a re-edition capsule collection of eight pieces, priced between £160 and £365, featuring updated versions of the brand's bomber jackets, sweater, t-shirts and boxers.

There's something eternally cool about the red, white ane blue logomania adopted from the US flag, but buying flag-emblazoned clothes isn't cool anymore. Fact. MyTheresa, however, has given it a second chance and revamped it in iconic sweatshirts - they've been updated into a cropped fit and crafted from plush velvet. The varsity jacket has been updated in velvet and satin versions adorned with a "H" applique.

Tommy Hilfiger is simply a cultural signs of fashion's favourite era. You would remember when Snoop Dogg rocked a Tommy rugby shirt while performing on Saturday Night Life and when Kate Moss walked the brand's spring/summer 1997 catwalk clad in red, white and blue.
