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.We were all on tenterhooks. What would tonight's ominous Love Island text announcement lead to? A shock eviction? Exciting new contestants? The latest Tory MP resignation?
In fact it was the earth-shattering news that Jack and Dani could pop down to the shops to get dinner.
The elation of the contestants at this glimmer of non-romance based excitement was palpable. Forget the fact that Laura is completely heartbroken, or that Muggy Dr Alex has left other Alex in the lurch, it's all about the bargain chicken breasts.
Sam and Georgia shared a sneaky kiss in the bathroom, despite officially breaking up the other day. Dr Alex and Alex seem well and truly over now, with the sunburnt medic doing his best to crack on with New Laura, and Lady Alex setting her sights on Paul.
Oh, and we also found out that Laura fancies Eamonn Holmes and Dr Alex has a fetish for hair dryers.
We’re now left with an awful lot of singletons, which can only mean it’s going to be a dramatic week in the villa.
You can catch up on all the villa drama as it happened with our liveblog below.

With £ signs in their eyes, Georgia and Sam made the brave decision to end their blossoming relationship in the pursuit of cash love.
Sam has already had a successful date with new contestant Laura, but will Georgia have her head turned tonight?
It seems Dr Alex has had his head turned by new girl Laura. Flirting about skiing, seems right up your street Alex
New Josh about Georgia: "I like a challenge, she's holding her cards close to her chest"
You can say a lot of things about Georgia, but playing her cards close to her chest is not one of them
Sam is definitely eyeing up the new women, despite bleating about how much he misses Georgia. She's like four feet away from you Sam, you can't miss her that much.
Thankfully Georgia and Dani Dyer have made up. Whether you're Team Georgia are not, you've got to love the pair of them together.
In the latest pathetic Sam news, he says: "I've tried to fight it, but I think I need to step back and focus on me." Yes, because choosing to breakup with Georgia so you could still be in with a chance of winning £50,000 wasn't about you at all was it....
Just tuned in? Never fear! Here's a roundup of the sublime drama you've missed:
- Laura once again was outraged at Jack for telling Sam he would've chosen to stay in the villa (i.e. breakup with Laura for those that aren't fluent in Love Island)
- Jack crawled his way back into her good books but...
- Two new Islanders Samantha and Laura both fancy Jack
- Georgia and Dani made up after the 'did she throw a drink on her?' saga
- Sam is still being utterly pathetic
Traitor Wes (we never forget Wes! Never!) has told Jack to abandon Laura. Finally someone has said it.
I wonder what they do all day. Apart from the constant back and forth on their relationships, analysing every minutia of what is said, what do they actually spend their time doing?
And what have we here. New boy Paul (I say boy, he's 31), is chatting to Laura. She must've known on some level that Jack was about to jump ship. Good for you Laura!
