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.

Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow has shared a new picture of Chris Pratt as park keeper Owen, as the actor makes the transition from Parks and Recreation sitcom star to Guardians of the Galaxy leading man this weekend.

"See you next summer, Star-Lord," he wrote alongside the image of Pratt smouldering at what is presumably a dinosaur of some description.

Set twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World finds Isla Nublar now a fully functioning dinosaur theme park. But when attendance rates begin to decline, a new attraction is created to draw in punters that spectacularly backfires.

While he made his name as the unassuming Andy Dwyer in Parks and Rec, Pratt will now star in two consecutive summer blockbusters, with Guardians of the Galaxy set to clean up at the box office this week with an all-star cast and very strong early reviews behind it.
