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 Bread Week on Bake Off this week, which can only mean one thing: an even cockier Paul Hollywood than usual.
We may already know the name of the contestant who leaves thanks to a slip up from Mary Berry on the radio, but there's still entertainment to be had watching Hollywood walk around the tent with more brazen gusto than ever.
Take a look at what's baking in the tent tonight:
Signature bake - soda breads
Made without yeast, the bakers have to make a loaf with bicarbonate or soda or baking powder instead.
Technical Challenge - French baguettes
Baguettes feature on Bake Off for the first time tonight as part of Paul's fiendish technical challenge. The bakers have to create steam in the oven to give the baguettes a nice finish, but obviously Paul hasn't told them.
The showstopper - 3D bread sculptures
One of the trickiest showstoppers the Bake Off tent has ever seen, the contestants have to make bread sculptures made of three different types of dough.
