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.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld will share a cup of coffee and probably a clever exchange on life’s oddities with US President Barack Obama on his Web series next week.

The season premier of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee will air on entertainment streaming site Crackle on December 30, according to promotional materials released on the website Tuesday. The first episode features President Obama and Mr Seinfeld driving around what appears to be the White House lawn.


“White House,” President Obama says, answering the phone in the promotional clip on Crackle.com.

“Yes, may I speak with the president please,” Mr Seinfeld replies.

“Speaking,” Obama says.


The series, which launched in 2012, has already had six seasons. In each episode, Mr Seinfeld and a guest — typically comedians — drive around telling jokes and finish an episode with musings exchanged over a cup of coffee. Past stars have included Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Sarah Jessica Parker.
