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.Fashion: Praise the Lauder!
The alchemists at Estée Lauder are known for their miracle-working serums. And their latest treatment, Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator, promises (as if its name doesn't already tell you everything you need to know) to brighten skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and clear up outbreaks. In other words, it makes you look like one of those healthy, outdoorsy types. And hurrah for that! From £46, esteelauder.co.uk
