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.

Sir: Here she goes again, hitting a wrong note once more.

In her crusade to convince the rest of the world that a diet of English language only is good for their liberty, Baroness Thatcher puts forward the argument that America has not only been a great power in this departing century, it has also been a great moral example.

America is the only nation in the 20th century that has used nuclear power against civilian populated areas. And perhaps Baroness Thatcher should ask the victims of the American campaign in Vietnam what a great moral example their experience has been.
