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.Lewis Hamilton last night revved into a mistaken Twitter rant against Jenson Button, slamming his Mclaren team-mate for 'unfollowing' him on the social media site - before being forced into a U-turn when it later emerged Button had never followed him in the first place.
Hamilton first tweeted: "Just noticed @jensonbutton unfollowed, thats a shame. After 3 years as teammates, I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn't."
His righteous outrage continued: "Funny thing is, we are STILL teammates! All good tho, I plan on giving this team & fans all I got til I cross the finish line in brazil!!"
But, a little later, news caught up:" My bad, just found out Jenson never followed me. Don't blame him! Need to be on Twitter more!."
This outburst could make relations between the two Brits uncomfortable, Metro suggests: "Hamilton finished behind his teammate at the Japanese grand prix on Sunday and his criticism may make things awkward in the garage at the Korean race at the weekend."
