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.

Former Love Island stars, from Amber Gill to Olivia Attwood, have been tuning into the new series.

The ITV2 reality show returned to screens on Monday 28 June, with a whole new roster of contestants entering the villa.

Some ex-contestants were “so emosh” watching the new episode, while others revealed they’re already rooting for their favourite star.

Check out some of the reactions below.

Love Island fans complained on Twitter after the ITV Hub was beset with technical difficulties at the beginning of the debut episode.

This series is expected to run for eight weeks, airing on ITV2 throughout July and August.

From civil servants and models to teachers and football players, see the full line-up of the 2021 series so far, here.
