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.

He made his name playing the son of Bryan Cranston's Walter White in Breaking Bad, but now RJ Mitte has taken the lead role in a music video from English alt-rockers Nothing But Thieves.

Premiered by The A.V Club, the heartfelt video for new song "If I Get High" follows Mitte's troubled son and a fractured relationship with his father.

In some respect, it parallels how Mitte's character Walt Jr. ends up in the hit series that ran for five seasons from 2008.

Mitte has previously appeared in music videos for Hollywood Undead song "Dead Bite" and Steel Panther's "Party Like Tomorrow is the End of the World."

The actor is due to present Channel 4's paralympic coverage this September.

Talking of the athletes competing in Rio, Mitte recently told the Evening Standard: “These men and women are athletes, they are warriors, they are people who are not confined by what they have been given.

“It’s amazing to see where, and how far, the human body can really go.”

"If I Get High" is taken from Nothing But Thieves' self-titled debut album out now.
