Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

The "#nowplaying" meme has captured the ears and fingers of Twitter users who can't stop tweeting about the songs and movies they are listening to and watching on the morning of January 7.

The term "#nowplaying" continues to hold the top position of Twitter's most talked about topics list for the fourth day in a row.

The term "#Onlyagroupiewould" has risen to the second position in the list as people share stories about things only a groupie would do.

For instance, "#onlyagroupiewould follow a celeb to his hotel & wait in the Lobby" said one user. Others commented, "#onlyagroupiewould stand in a group in the club and touch guys butts" and "#OnlyAGroupieWould reply to and [retweet] every single tweet from the next celeb they wanna get with."

Twitter users are also tweeting about the term "#WhatWereYouThinking" on January 7, puzzling over what might have been running through people's minds.
