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.Run the Jewels previously backed Jeremy Corbyn, and now it's time for the Labour leader to show that pop cultural endorsement works both ways.
Asked if he'd been watching ITV2 surprise sensation Love Island by The Tab, Corbyn replied: "No I haven't, but I've been advised that Marcel needs a vote. He needs a vote."
Whichever advisor briefed Corbyn on this important debate, if you're reading this, ask for a raise. Right now.
Corbin even had an early 2000s R&B joke ready, in reference to Marcel's Blazin' Squad origins.
"He needs a bit of help; he needs a bit of, shall I say..." Corbyn added, pausing for dramatic effect, "TLC."
Have no idea what Love Island is? You can find me explaining it to a cynic here.
