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.

Grubs up! The fajitas are ready and they look actually edible. Congrats Dani and Jack.
After a cringey little speech from Sam, a big group cheers and some upbeat music, this feels like a super dull episode of Skins. (Dated reference? Yes. Are we standing by it? Yes.)
Laura fancies Eamonn Holmes and Dr Alex has a hairdryer fetish. Alright then.
Fajitas aside for a moment, Paul and Laura are having some serious flirting time. But he doesn't look a thing like Eamonn Holmes, Laura!
Like a super toned vulture, Lady Alex smells romance between Laura and Paul, and she doesn't like it. I have a feeling there's going to be an interception rather soon...
And we called it. Lady Alex has spread her vulture wings and swooped in for an intense chat with Paul.
Alex: "Laura is one of my good friends in here, but we're also enemies."
W...wait...what?
What a surprise, we have Muggy Jack lying on the outdoor bed with New Laura. I wonder what could possibly happen here.
In the most action we've seen all night (apart from the shopping trip, that was exciting wasn't it?) Jack and Laura have kissed. Let's be clear, we mean New Jack and New Laura.
And that's your lot for tonight's Love Island. Thanks for watching along with us and join us same time tomorrow!
