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.

Coverage of ITV's Loose Women was interrupted on Wednesday lunchtime as a protest group from the campaign Fathers 4 Justice crashed the set.

Just off camera, a man appeared to storm on shouting "Fathers For Justice, no kids no cash!"

One of the Loose Women panellists turned to the protester and said: "Oh, hello," before coverage cut to a stock image of the show's logo and the audio was cut out.

Footage was soon restored, and the show tweeted: "Apologies for that small interruption."

The protester interrupted Ruth Langsford, who was speaking to Coleen Nolan about her struggles with her weight.
