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.

Oldenburg's cartoonish experiments with scale are the kind of contemporary art people warm to. Instead of alienating and offending, his giant, everyday objects have a comic appeal. Emerging in the 1960s as a key player in the Pop Art movement, Oldenburg fought to replace national monuments with his own soft sculptures. He wanted to replace Eros with a cluster of gargantuan lipsticks. His proposal was turned down, but in 1985 Oldenburg did manage to float a giant Swiss Army Knife in the naval yard of the Venice Arsenale.
