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.

Sharon Osbourne has been forced to take a month-long break away from her chat show duties on The Talk after she suffered a health scare last week.

The host, 62, collapsed from “mental and physical fatigue” last week following a “gruelling schedule” in New York and Toronto.

According to E! News, Osbourne’s doctors said she had “extreme exhaustion” and had “most likely returned to work too soon after being hospitalised for pneumonia” recently.

“Sharon has been advised and has agreed to take a month hiatus to recover fully from these recent events,” a spokesperson said.

“Sharon would like to thank everyone at The Talk for granting her this time off and to all friends, family and others for their incredible support.”
