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.David Cameron was interviewed by Buzzfeed in the first international edition of its Brews series.
We take the Buzzfeed approach to find 10 things we learnt from the interview.
1) He has two kitchens in his Notting Hill home (which he currently rents out while he lives in Downing Street). But they only built the second kitchen for his disabled son's carers and he hit out at Ed Miliband for posing in his smaller kitchen for a PR stunt.
2) He indicated he would stay on as an MP if he loses the Tory leadership after the election.
3) He has kept the porn filters on in Number 10 to stop his daughter from straying on the Internet.
4) Barack Obama told him he's jealous of the ban on political TV advertising in the UK and Cameron thinks the current situation is "fine".
5) He last had dinner with a Tory donor last week.
6) He has never been tempted to escape his security detail "because they're trained killers".
7) His favourite Aston Villa footballer is the Belgium striker Christian Benteke.
8) His favourite actor in Game of Thrones is Sean Bean but he knows nothing about spoiler alerts as he went on to reveal what happened to him in the series (we're not going to spoil it for you).
9) He uses a personal gmail account and iPhone to contact friends but still uses a Blackberry for work.
10) He's not very hopeful of getting a 50/50 gender balance in Cabinet anytime soon. He says it will be "difficult" to achieve this by 2020
