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.

Twitter users are listing the things that get on their nerves and the things they are tired of on the morning of August 3.

Twitter's popular gripes are: "when people complain about every little thing," "People who are all cheery in the morning," "People who claim ta b real friends but u only hear from them wen u need something" and "People who ask dumb questions." 

Canadian singer Justin Bieber has been busy giving his friend Ryan Butler a haircut in the "Bieber Barber Shop." Bieber's "fresh trim. swag" tweets started a chorus of excited young girls and boys all trying to book themselves in for a haircut with the singer.

Harry Potter fans are trying to solve the Magical Quill quest to complete early registration for the Pottermore site. Only one million users will gain early access to Pottermore before it opens to the public in October so competition is fierce.   

The hashtags "#ReinventTheWheel" and "#undateable" top Twitter's most talked about topics list and American sitcom " Living Single" takes sixth place on the chart.

The names of American rappers "Chingy" and "Lil Kim" are in seventh and eighth positions and "Stewie" Griffin, the name of a character from the animated TV series Family Guy, is back in the list at number ten.
