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.US rapper Eminem will headline a new music festival to be held over ten days in Glasgow.
The star, who has sold more than 100 million records around the world, has been announced as the first act for Glasgow Summer Sessions.
The festival will be held in Bellahouston Park with around five shows of different genres held over ten days in August, organisers said.
Eminem headlined T in the Park in 2010 and will also perform at the Reading and Leeds festivals this year.
Geoff Ellis, chief executive of organisers DF Concerts, said: "We're delighted to announce Eminem as the first major act for Glasgow Summer Sessions.
"His performance at T in the Park and his previous stadium show at Hampden were spectacular, so this gig will be one of the events of the year.
"As it's one of the most important music destinations in the world, we're also excited about what else we have to announce for Summer Sessions and there will be more news soon."
The rapper rose to fame with the release of 1999's The Slim Shady LP and his next album, which is due to be released later this year, has been named as one of the 'most anticipated albums of 2013' by MTV, despite still not having a title or a release date.
The Glasgow concert will be held on Tuesday August 20 with tickets going on sale later this week.
