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.Move over, big bad wolf - the big bad mole est arrive. The news flashes across the farmyard. Baa, goes the sheep; neigh, goes the horse; squeak, goes the mouse. They all pile into the barn, play merry hell with the milk churns and even have the nerve, in a nice visual gag, to upset the apple cart. But the boy-narrator of this story then announces that the mole has gone, at which point the book ends. A pity: next time the boy cries mole, he's going to get hoofprints all over his neck.
