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.Arnold Schwarzenegger has previewed the cover image of his forthcoming memoir, Total Recall, on Schwarzenegger.com.
The film star and former California Governor settled on a steely-eyed headshot for the front cover, but is asking his fans to suggest images for the back. Specifically, he's after three pictures to encapsulate his careers in bodybuilding, "acting" and politics. What ought to concern him more, however, is the title.
The Governator's 1990 sci-fi smash Total Recall has been remade for release in the autumn, just before his book comes out; won't readers mistake it for a film tie-in, and isn't there another, equally suitable title in his filmography? Last Action Hero, for instance, reflects his place in the pantheon of traditional action stars.
The Running Man would refer not only to his film career, but to his electoral success. Raw Deal might be suitable for the chapter in which he gets paid more than $30m for Terminator 3, or the one about the California budget crisis. Depending on how much of his past he decides to reveal, True Lies might be more fitting than Total Recall. And if you believe all those allegations of serial groping, you might prefer Predator.
