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.

Sarah Bromby, a pregnant mother from Scunthorpe, filmed the moment she told her five-year-old son that he was going to be a big brother.

The video shows an elated five-year-old after realizing that his mother was serious and a baby was, indeed, on the way.

Looking at two pictures of an ultrasound scan, the boy screamed in delight: "Are you really having a baby? I’m going to be a big brother!"

Still overwhelmed by the news, the five-year-old shows an instinctive protection towards his new sibling and says: "He can sleep in my bed if he wants!"

The video was uploaded on Facebook and has been viewed more than 700,000 times.
