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.

The spring heatwave has been welcomed by many people across the UK, but David Cameron has revealed he has been struck down by hay fever as a result.

The Prime Minister had to take medication to combat the condition before appearing on TV.

He said: "There's obviously one or two plants that, when they flower, hit me and so, just this morning, I woke up and I had it."

He told Eamonn Holmes on ITV's This Morning: "One of your people has just given me a pill, so hopefully that will sort me out."

Hay fever is caused by an allergic reaction to plant pollen and affects around one in five people at some point in their life.
