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.The Sainsbury supermarket chain is pulling bottles of Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil off its shelves after it was revealed it contained oil from Greek and Spanish olives.
Although blended in Italy, and made up mostly of Italian olives, the store accepted that the label gave the wrong impression about its contents. The BBC programme Weekend Watchdog said the error showed up during a taste test with a chef for the show which was transmitted last night.
Sainsbury said: "We can assure customers that a full and thorough review has been undertaken of all products within the olive oil range and no other products are affected."
