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.

Bother yourself not with troubling details of plot or narrative, blockbuster fans. The video game version of GIJoe: the Rise of Cobra, Sienna Miller’s latest cinematic vehicle, has a premise that is breath-taking in its simplicity. Shoot the bad guys, watch them evaporate, shoot some more. Chuck in a few explosions, some postapocalyptic styling and who needs drama or suspense? For those after a shiny package that’s fun, dumband full of guns, this will do the trick.
