Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Love it or hate it, Facebook might just be the app or website you waste the most time on.

It can be dull, irritating and even upsetting, but it's also seriously addictive.

You can either try to stay away from it altogether or resign yourself to the fact that you will keep coming back, and make a few tweaks to ensure you only see updates from people you actually care about, and don't waste more time on the platform than you need to.

We’ve rounded up a selection of the best Facebook tips and tricks. Click on the gallery below to start browsing.
