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.

Despite all the disappointments from the pitcher's mound, Charlie Brown and his Peanuts' ball team are headed to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

An exhibit titled "You're In the Hall of Fame, Charlie Brown" will open May 20 and run through the remainder of the year, Hall of Fame officials said Friday.

Charles Schulz, who died in February, created nearly 18,000 Peanuts strips over the past 50 years and almost 10 percent focused on baseball.

"I could draw baseball strips every day," Schulz said in December. "Baseball is ideal because little kids do play it at that age, and they aren't very good. But they do suffer at it."

The exhibit will include original strips, artwork and artifacts.
