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.Jazz and snooker have a lot in common: wayward heroes, intuitive mathematics, improvised solo breaks.
This project by pianist Jonathan Gee and producer/trumpeter Mika Myllari claims to be inspired by Ronnie O'Sulivan, but it's not clear whether they're taking the mick. The music references Zawinul and Miles-era fusion but weedy synth-sounds lack gravitas, suggesting a full orchestral version – or better still, an opera – might be the ultimate way to go, if fags 'n' beer sponsors can be found.
Pick of the album: 'Pink': a lyrical interlude between the breaks
