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.

A mother-to-be surprised her husband with the news that she was pregnant in the most elaborate of announcements.

On a flight home from Las Vegas to Philadelphia, the pilot makes an impromptu announcement, and it was all captured on video.

“Okay folks, ready or not, here we go.”

“Got a note handed to me, I’m going to read it verbatim. It says, can I have your attention please - we’d like to do something special for our lucky winners who won big here in Las Vegas, Nevada.”

“Now we’d like to draw your attention to 29E where you'll find Eric who's travelling with his wife Lisa.”

"Well Eric although you didn't strike it rich here in Las Vegas, you did hit the jackpot. Congratulations, you're about to be a dad."
