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.A LOT HAS happened to Dylan Moran (right) since he won the Perrier Award in 1996. He has starred in Simon Nye's outstanding BBC2 comedy, How Do You Want Me?, and penned his own sitcom, which was premiered at the Channel 4 Sitcom Festival recently. Now he's returning to the stand- up stage with Poncing About. He specialises in inspired rambling: "Some people get up and do set stuff, but I tend to forget a lot, so I just blether."
