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.

In one of the most grievous acts of cultural vandalism, New York's great and beautiful Penn Station was knocked down. The sad remains (mostly underground) may be efficient transport-wise, but architecturally it's a shadow of its former self. You can, however, check out its glories as featured in the superb sets for this rather disregarded Vincente Minnelli movie which features Judy Garland (reader, he married her) in her first non-singing role. (It was also Minnelli's first non-musical assignment.) Those impervious to Garland's vocal talents would be well-advised to check out her glowing performance as Alice, who meets Corporal Joe Allen (Robert Walker, best known as the murderous Bruno in Strangers on a Train) under the clock at Penn Station. The movie, written by Paul "The Snow Goose" Gallico traces their 48-hour whirlwind romance and is peppered with finely detailed performances from an excellent supporting cast.
