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.

Your support makes all the difference.

The penny-pinching Brits may now be running the show, but little else has changed at the Manhattan ad agency.

Don Draper still philanders, unreconstructed Roger Stirling still gets the best lines ("Remember, Don... when God closes a door, he opens a dress") and Pete Campbell remains smart, smarmy and twisted. And still not a lot actually, you know, happens. Frankly it's unsettling when something big does happen. Mad Men is beautifully costumed, exquisitely scripted and gorgeously paced, it's just the most beautiful TV series. Elisabeth Moss, January Jones and Christina Hendricks once again excel as Peggy, Betty and Joan, but Bryan Batt's "in the closet" Salvatore comes strongly to the fore here – the country's on the brink of a sexual revolution – but too late for Sal.
