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 graphics are extremely detailed, and the interactive backgrounds mean that your creatures can hide, ready for ambush, or take advantage of higher ground. Although it takes some time to pick up, Magic & Mayhem is a truly cosmic game.

Resident Evil 2 HHH
PC CD-ROM When it was first released, Resident Evil was a landmark in video games with its unprecedented graphics and bloodshed. Now, Virgin is ready to unleash Resident Evil 2 onto your PC. Once again, players have to take on the undead and unveil the truth about the disappearance of the STARS team. RE2 contains some of the most terrifying monsters and most amazing backdrops ever seen; but its only appeal is its over-the- top blood and violence, whilst the gameplay is too simple and repetitive.
