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.Landmarks across the UK will turn pink tonight in celebration of the birth of a daughter to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
London's Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square's fountains and Blackburn Tower will all light up pink this evening after the Duchess gave birth to a baby girl this morning at 8.34am after being admitted to St Mary’s Hospital’s Lindo Wing.
However, not everyone is happy about the “sexist” decision, with others pointing out that previously blue was the colour associated with girls, not pink.
There was also a vague discussion over whether the BT tower - which emblazoned "It's a girl!" across it's screens - had turn pink or purple.
