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.

The Jonas Brothers shared a series of festive family photos to announce the launch of their new Christmas song.

On Thursday (29 October), the band posted a previously unseen throwback picture of Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas sat by a Christmas tree as kids on Instagram, as they unveiled the release of festive anthem “I Need Christmas”.

The photo was followed by a picture of the Jonas family, now grown up and joined by younger brother Frankie, again gathered around a tree, with additional photos showing recent Christmases spent together.

“With having such a crazy year, we all really need something to look forward to,” the picture was captioned. “The Holidays is a time that brings us together and is something that brings us joy in the darkest of times.”

Announcing the song’s release, they continued: “For us, this song stirs up memories of childhood snowball fights and finding the nearest hill to sled. It brings us back to spending time with family setting up the Christmas tree.

“Hopefully it can bring you guys the same feelings of warmth and happiness that creating it has brought us.”
