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.

"That rug really tied the room together," the Dude, justifiably, laments after two thugs pee on his carpet.

The Coen brothers' most quotable, re-watchable and funniest film comes to Blu-ray. Jeff Bridges is Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski, a lazy ("quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County") slacker whose life (which involves weed, White Russians and bowling) is disrupted by two dim gangsters who believe he's the LA millionaire Jeffrey Lebowski. They wreck his rug and dunk his head in the toilet bowl. The Dude is appalled, so goes to visit the real Lebowski, thus starting an unhinged journey that involves lost toes, German nihilists and lots of profanity. Bridges is excellent, but his deranged bowling pal, Walter (John Goodman), provides the biggest laughs.
