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.

I knew the songs, followed the van
Like four pied pipers - but from Rutland
They changed my life. I was a fan
Jean Paul Sartre and Ringo
Pop songs for the thinking man
It's 20 years ago and some
Since Rutter taught the band to hum
And Dirk admitted drinking tea
He WAS The Rutles then, to me
He's older now with oyster eyes
I heard his wife is making pies
But though the songs will still remain
We may not see their like again
"THE RUTLES AT THE ABC"
All helped to bring it back to me
They caught the zeitgeist, told the truth
Check out the songs and mourn your youth
