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.

Maybe just a little. But while Diane Keaton might be one of only few to build an outfit around a fabulous new pair of socks, they can still be quite the luxury item and a worthy gift.
To go with the monogrammed handkerchief set, I presume.
OK, socks probably won't have anyone swooning in surprise come Christmas, but they're good for the gratitude long game. A pair of quality socks is a lovely thing. It's also something most people can't be bothered to spend their own money on. Enter the giver, bearing these Crofter woollens (£20, plumo.com, above).
Cute! Who are they for?
Unisex and ageless, the chunky hand-knitting is rugged enough to please practical souls, while the vintage feel will suit those who just want to pad around being whimsical by the Rayburn. Even more pleasingly, each pair is unique.
How about as a main present rather than stocking filler?
Try Moccis, a cute Swedish hybrid of sock and slipper, thanks to a non-slip leather sole. Available in stars, stripes or leopard-print – and a few understated styles in between – they're a lovely gift guaranteed to get lots and lots of use (from £59.97, moccis.co.uk).
