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.

Russell Brand has star quality, but there's no way it'd be worth taking a dive The Bodyguard-style to get the door for him.

This Vine of a security guard at West Ham FC's football stadium went viral as he slipped up in classic style trying to get the door for A-list activist Brand, who looked pretty nonplussed by the whole thing.

West Ham officials said that it proved door staff "always give 100%" and it's very hard to disagree.
