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.

For those who thought election season could not get weirder – think again.

A heckler was removed during a Marco Rubio rally on Sunday after he interrupted the Floridan Senator and accused him of “trying to steal” his girlfriend.

The crowd erupted in laughter as the heckler continued his rant.

“They met in New Hampshire and she doesn’t look at me in the same way anymore – I’m serious.

“Yeah, he’s a little bit better looking than me, that’s true. But, he’s trying to steal my girlfriend. That’s the truth.

“You guys shouldn’t vote for him. He’s probably going to steal yours too.”

Rubio coolly dealt with the heckler, replying – “I didn’t even win New Hampshire.”

Moments after the unidentified man was ejected, he quipped “I’m still looking for the hidden camera.”

Marco Rubio finds himself a distant third in the 2016 Republican presidential nomination race; with many expecting Donald Trump to extend his lead in tomorrow's 'Super Tuesday'.
