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.

Details 442 came from Vincent Van Gogh's The Church of Auvers- sur-Oise, painted in June 1890. The colours can be hard to read. A Van Gogh book says "the church is bathed in light against a deep blue sky", which isn't quite right. The aspect of church we see is in shade; it casts a dark green shadow on the grass in front; its light-bathed side is only to be imagined. The sky's intense cobalt blue (a "cold" colour) is made to stand for a searing heat - with the daring inflections of black only strengthening this effect. The picture is in the Musee D'Orsay, Paris.
The first three correct entries came from: R James, Bath; V Thornton, Glasgow; and A Hughes, Eynsford
