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.

Kanye West delivered his latest sermon during an appearance on The Ellen Show, where he spoke uninterrupted for seven minutes.

What began as a conversation with Ellen DeGeneres transformed into a fervent address delivered to the audience about how his skill set could bring great change to the world.

His impassioned but rambling speech concluded with his fashion ambitions, mission to end bullying and a fierce defence of Michael Jackson.

West also claimed his artistic abilities are bolstered by synesthesia, a condition he says allows him to visualise sounds. You can watch the full eight minutes in the video above.
