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.

VH1 devotes its evening schedules to those purveyors of flash clothes and even flasher videos. Their look and deathless songs such as "Girls on Film", "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Rio" seemed to shout glorious decadence. Watch The Greatest Hits of... Duran Duran (8pm VH1) - if only to remind yourself why you no longer wear tukka boots or a bandana.
Jeremy Irons won a Best Actor Oscar for Reversal of Fortune, but the suspicion was that it was given in recognition of his outstanding (yet unrewarded) performance in the previous year's Dead Ringers (10.05pm Sky Cinema). In David Cronenberg's chilling thriller, he plays a pair of twin gynaecologists whose sanity gradually unravels.
