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.

You're going to have to queue for day seats to see this, theatre's latest hot ticket. David Hare's play about Oscar Wilde is an Almeida production, but the casting of Liam Neeson as the Irish wit necessitated a relocation to a West End theatre three times the capacity of the prestigious North London venue. Contrary to the "screen star in low-wage stage shock" headlines, Neeson is no newcomer to theatre, having quit a teaching career to join the Lyric Theatre Belfast in 1976. He has since worked for the Abbey and the National (as distinct from the building society) and was nominated for a Tony award for his last stage performance in 1993 playing opposite Natasha Richardson in Anna Christie. Reader, he married her. Hare's play, originally conceived for film, has been completely rewritten for the stage and the production marks Richard Eyre's post-National Theatre directing debut.
