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.

American cardstacker Bryan Berg completed a giant model of the Houses of Parliament yesterday, after a week's modelling.

The structure, which stands at nearly 10ft tall and 15ft wide, and made with over 50,000 standard playing cards, was constructed without glue or tape at Aspers Casino, Westfield Stratford, London to promote Sky Poker's Play the Nation.

Berg, who holds both the records for the world's largest, and tallest, house of freestanding playing cards, is due to tear the build down on Monday alongside Soccer AM's Max Rushden.
