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.

It's the gift that keeps on giving. One user on Chartroulette has made his own parody version of Miley Cyrus 'Wrecking Ball' video.

Steve Kardynal donned a white pair of Y-fronts and a vest for the spoof in which he mimed along to Cyrus' song while writhing on a homemade wrecking ball - at one point completely naked.

He filmed the parody on social video site Chatroulette, where users can talk to random people and switch to another stranger if the conversation dries up. The split screen shows Kardynal's antics on one side and the reaction of users who have stumbled across him on the other.

Users are initially bemused by Kardynal's performance before realising it is a spoof, some even start singing along while they watch him as he seductively licks a hammer and a dumbbell.

Chatroulette is notorious for its seedy nature and Kardynal does not disappoint when he rides his improvised wrecking ball without any clothes on, leaving one user looking horrified.

His video has gained over 26million views and counting since it was uploaded on YouTube a couple of days ago. The views are nearly as impressive as Cyrus own Vevo record for the original video, the single attracted 19.3million views in the space of 24 hours.

Kardynal is known for his Internet parodies, having lampooned Carly Rae Jepsen's hit 'Call Me Maybe' only last year while dressed in a bikini.
