Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

In America, the atrocious comedy-thriller Money Train has sparked a string of copycat murders in which subway attendants have been incinerated in their ticket-booths (when it's the stars, Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, who really deserve to go up in smoke). Father of the Bride 2 finds Steve Martin (above, who has become a white Cosby, with bad jokes and worse dress sense) reprising his role as a put-upon father who must suppress his latent desire to sleep with his daughter. It's all disguised as a jolly farce, of course, but we know different. (All figures denote weekend box-office only.)
