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.Indie rock band Foals have announced their long-time bassist Walter Gervers is leaving the band after 12 years.
In a statement posted on the band's official social media channels, they said he was leaving to "pursue a new life" and also confirmed they are working on new music.
"The parting has been so sad but we remain firm friends, he'll always be our brother, we love him and wish him well in his future endeavours," the post continued.
"We had 12 amazing years touring together from a small postal van to the Pyramid Stage [at Glastonbury] and beyond. It's the end of a chapter but not the end of the book.
"We want to thank him for all his time and energy and passion and we want to thank you for all your support from the early days and into the future.
"We are making new music and are working on the 5th LP it's gonna be the best yet. Keep those ears alive. Love Foals xx"
