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.

"'Born This Way' is the battle of wills between the spirited Gaga, who just wants to dance, fight and drink, and the newly-formed Mother Monster who wishes to impart wisdom to the masses. It's an odd mix that has its myriad of highs and horrendous lows." state.ie

"It's a storming collection of high-concept pop brilliance designed to soundtrack every preposterously tremendous Gaga moment for the next 18 months. If there's a gripe to be had, it's regarding the length: at an hour long... it could easily lose a couple of tracks." bbc.co.uk/music

"At this point, Lady Gaga might seem too big to truly fail, but that's not the case. However, she is too big to be forgotten, which is why it's such a shame that her flame is already burning out." sputnikmusic.com
