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.

What do pop stars do for their vacations?
Where d'you go if everywhere's your home
And you've spare pyjamas
Both in France and the Bahamas
Plus some stand-by underpants in Rome?
What if drink and drugs are part of working
And the job dictates that you be strange?
Do you sip Wincarnis
Til you've got yourself in harness
Or d'you go to Butlins for a change?
And if Jarvis holidays in Sheffield
Does he prove fame's not gone to his head
When he writes, "Dear Mum,
I'm arriving with a chum
After tea we'll creosote the shed."
What does Iggy Pop do for excitement?
How do the Blue Nile get laid back?
Would you catch George Michael
In the garage with his cycle
Cinching up the panniers to his rack?
What if you're a jaded rock and roller
Used to dating supermodel molls?
Would Naomi Campbell
Brook a bracing moorland ramble
Or succumb to Scarborough for her hols?
Does the average pop star take it easy?
Is he any different to you?
Does he keep his eye in
With a bit of d.i.y.ing
No. He goes abroad to drink and screw
