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.World No 4 Andy Murray was innocently hosting a question and answer session on Twitter when it was gate crashed by World No 2 Roger Federer.
The Swiss, the most successful player ever with 17 Grand Slam titles, decided to get involved in the Q&A session by jokingly asking: "how do you get your hair to be so curly" with the hashtag 'help a brother out'.
Murray responded to Federer, who was left red-faced after being lobbed by a kid in an exhibition game, by posting an embarrassing picture from his early career when he sported a much longer (and curlier) mop on his head.
He said: "Let me know if you ever want to go down this route... think it would be good for your image".

Murray has recently added Jonas Bjorkman to his coaching team - although he will start on a one week trial.
