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.

David Cassidy proved a tough interviewee for presenter Eamonn Holmes earlier today, rebuffing the majority of his questions.

When asked about his recent family and financial problems on ITV’s This Morning, the 70s entertainer got rather defensive.

Questions about the break-up of his marriage and the consequent financial implications received a contentious response as Cassidy told the hosts: "It's a difficult journey when you're going through a divorce, is it not for anyone? Wait, wait, wait, don't interrupt me."

When the Sunrise presenter probed Cassidy about declaring bankruptcy, his reaction was to question the reason for inviting him on the show, asking: “Are you just here to rubbish me?”

Eamonn Holmes later tweeted that it possibly topped his rather awkward interview with David Blaine.

He also suggested Cassidy’s suitability for reality TV.
