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.
Your support makes all the difference.Global coffee chain Starbucks have brought out a 'pizza croissant', following in the footsteps of the grand cross-over tradition that brought us cronoughts.
The Volpi Pepperoni and Tomato ‘foldover’ contains all the ingredients found in a pepperoni pizza (pepperoni, tomato, cheese for anyone living under a rock) wrapped in puff pastry.
Social media users have – predictably – enjoyed the snack, quickly labelled the pizza croissant, with some going so far as to call it “a dream”.
But before you get too excited, the savoury pastry (which weighs in at only 270 calories) isn’t available in Britain yet.
Starbucks confirmed to The Independent that so far the pizza croissant is only available in the US.
But in any case, should the ‘pizza croissant’ doesn’t sound like your thing, don’t worry: there will also be a sliced ham with melted Swiss cheese pastry, as well as one with spinach.
