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.

Good thing
Pukka Pack, Free
The Pukka Pack, launched by the home furnishings shop Pukka Palace, is an entirely new approach to mail order. Instead of trawling through the usual glossy catalogue the size of a telephone directory, customers flick through a deck of cards organised in to "suits" such as wrought iron furniture, glassware, soft furnishings, and garden accessories. The pack is free and orders made on the special orderline number will be delivered free within the UK.

Mad thing
Hartz Friz Faces, pounds 1.99
Frankly, these pet toys look like flattened cats. On the plus side, they look like very happy flattened cats. Your dog can now play out any stray rubber Tom and Jerry fantasies without Tom having that frustrating ability to reinflate to normality after the cruelest of blows. Throws like a frisbee, squeaks like a kitten upon retrieval.
Available in good pet shops
