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.Forget about glamorous race day hats; a life-size cat accessory is the newest craze in headgear. Allegedly.
If you happen to harbour an obsession for all things feline, this might be just what your wardrobe has been waiting for.
Japanese designer Campanella has created a full-sized replica kitten mounted on an Alice band, which when worn looks like your pet is straddling your head – ‘yes she’s coming along too’.
The headband was spotted at the Design Festa expo in Japan and caused a stir on social media.
But although some cat lovers out there might be willing to take their pet-obsession this far, the hair accessory is not actually for sale. According to its designer, she made the piece for her own pleasure and for display in the exhibition at the Hiyorimi museum.
Maybe this will serve as inspiration for this year’s Royal Ascot? Hopefully not.
