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.

THE FIVE BEST DISCS OF THE MOMENT
Schubert: Lieder. Brigitte Fassbaender (Sony, CD only). Deep-throat intensity from the extraordinary mezzo, here singing well- known Goethe settings, including some traditionally male ones. Michael White
Purcell: Complete Anthems & Services Vol 4. New College Choir / Kings Consort / Robert King (Hyperion, CD only). Fresh, invigorating new instalment in a major series, with quality soloists like James Bowman. MW
Deep Blues (Anxious, CD/ tape). Unknown voices unearthed in Mississippi juke-joints by critic Robert Palmer and Eurythmic Dave Stewart. Essential stuff. Richard Williams
Saint Etienne: Hobart Paving (Heavenly, single). 'Rain falls, like Elvis did . . .' Ephemera doesn't come much more durable than this. BT
Bryan Ferry: Taxi (Virgin, LP/tape/CD). A masterclass in the art of the cover version.
