Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Further proof that Earth will eventually just become one big coffee and muffin dispensary, Arlington, Virginia is to get a third Starbucks branch within a one block radius.

The opening of a new TargetExpress store in Rossyln will bring another Starbucks at 1500 Wilson Blvd, from which customers will be able to look out of its big glass windows at two other Starbucks across the street - one inside a Safeway (1501 17th Street N.) and another freestanding one at 1525 Wilson Blvd.

Walk a quarter of a mile down the hill of N. Lynn Street, and you’ll also find another Starbucks.

Arlington is known for its insatiable appetite for caffeine, its number of Starbucks branches previously being lampooned in a widely-shared ‘Arlington rap’.

“As a standard course of business, Starbucks continually evaluates our store portfolio, using various criteria to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers,” a Starbucks spokeswoman very dryly told ARLnow.com.

Starbucks currently has 22,551 stores operating worldwide.
