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.

Watch as Donald Trump held a rally in Austin, Texas, on Friday, 25 October.

The former president made a speech as he travelled to the state to record a podcast episode with Joe Rogan.

It came after thirteen former officials from the Republican nominee's adminstration issued an open letter expressing their agreement with ex-chief of staff John Kelly’s assessment of the former president as a fascist.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris will appear alongside Beyonce in Houston, Texas, as she focuses on the future of reproductive rights.

The vice president held a start-studded rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday at which she was joined on stage before a packed crowd by Barack Obama, Samuel L Jackson, Spike Lee, Tyler Perry and Bruce Springsteen.

Mr Trump falsely claimed that Harris had “absolutely bombed” in Georgia, before spewing fresh bile about his opponent and immigrants and lying about how many people had attended his stage-managed McDonald’s shift.

He had earlier called America “a garbage can for the world” in Arizona.
