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.

Thunderstorms and downpours hit the south coast of England yesterday afternoon, and the Environment Agency (EA) warned that areas of Dorset and Kent were at particular risk. There was also a risk of flooding across parts of Wiltshire, and in Somerset, Shepton Mallet suffered flash flooding after a two-hour deluge .
There are currently five flood warnings in the South West and the Midlands, and 23 flood alerts across the country.
