Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Broad City returned to Comedy Central last night with S04E01 episode 'Sliding Doors', and the network has uploaded it for fans to watch without subscription.
You can stream the episode in full here (if you're in the US or have a VPN elsewhere), which, as the title suggests, riffs on the movie Sliding Doors and imagines two timelines, one where Abbi and Ilana first meet at a subway station and spend the day together, and one where it is only a brief encounter.
Delving into the heroines back story for the first time, the episode shows how Abbi and Ilana influenced each other's personalities, confidence, and sense of style.
It remembers the time Bevers was buff, sees Ilana embrace her Jewishness and coins the phrase: "Nip it in the ass".
There's a couple of Trump references too - a homeless man prophesying the reality star's presidency and the man himself appearing on the side of a bus advertising The Apprentice. It was previously revealed that Trump's name will be bleeped out this season like a swear word.
In a sweet ending (spoilers ahead), the show suggests that, regardless of how exactly Abbi and Ilana had met, they are such kindred spirits that they would have somehow ended up best friends anyway.
It's good to have them back.
Broad City continues Thursday nights on Comedy Central.
