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.

It's the supersized version of the iconic Oreo: a triple decker, double-cream cookie.

The Triple Double Oreo, with layers of chocolate and vanilla cream sandwiched between three wafer cookies, hits US supermarkets this week.

Pitched as milk's favorite cookie companion, the triple decker cookie becomes all the more labor-intensive doubling the ritual of twisting, licking and dunking each layer.

The suggested retail price per package is $4.19. One cookie clocks in at 100 calories and 4.5 g of fat.

It's been a good year for the humble cookie franchise. While blogs like Gizmodo and Consumerist have been creating advance hype over the newest Oreo to join the family, British cookie maker McVities got a boost from the Duke of Cambridge when he requested a wedding cake made from their chocolate biscuits for his nuptials in April.
