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.

Bad lip readings are one of the great and hilarious institutions that that internet has bestowed upon us and they never fail to raise a chuckle.

In the past, they have treated us to their own unique iterations of the Royal Wedding and a Sarah Sanders press briefing.

If you aren't familiar with their videos they are exactly what you would imagine: lip readings of real-life events but they make almost no sense and are all the better for it.

Now it's Donald Trump's turn and last week's maligned State of the Union address and we have to say that it is considerably better than what we actually got.

Highlights include the constant back and forth between Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence, The song that announced Trump's arrival and his numerous interactions as he made his way through the House, Bernie Sanders wishing to 'roast all of Trump's fingers' and Melania's brief cameo.

Sadly we didn't get to see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her stoic silence but you can't ask for everything.

The clip has already been viewed more than one million times since yesterday and people are loving it.
