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.

The hit television musical series Glee announced on April 6 that it will devote an episode to pop star Lady Gaga's music, extending the show from 30 to 90 minutes.

The show is scheduled to air on April 26 in the US.

The storyline will involve Mr. Schuester teaching the New Directions glee club "a valuable lesson about self-acceptance and embracing what makes you unique through the music of Lady Gaga."

Gaga's recent single "Born This Way" will be sung on the show to illustrate the theme.

The cast performed "Poker Face" in a previous episode last year as well as an excerpt from "Telephone": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1-jqPXGTSQ

Several artists have not allowed Glee to interpret their music, including Bjork and Kings of Leon, which set off a feud with the show's creator Ryan Murphy who has since explained he understands.
