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.

Rebecca Gonsalves: Taking the trend for retro Brylcreemed locks to new heights. Or maybe that should be lows…
Hugh Montgomery: In undercut terms, this is somewhere between Mad Max extra and French exchange student.
The tie
Rebecca: Keeping things classic with an LBD – that's little black dicky-bow, obvs. Anything else would have been too much.
Hugh: Is it self-tie? Now that really would make him more than the new Vanilla Ice.
The shoes
Rebecca: If nothing else, studded, fringed slippers prove that ridiculously luxurious shoes are an equal-opportunity excess.
Hugh: Is it damning with faint praise to say that this is the most enjoyable male red-carpet look in recent memory?
The suit
Rebecca: A teal velvet tux? It's nice to see that male musicians can still be relied upon to peacock their way through awards season.
Hugh: Exactly. Oscar-nominated actors take note: this is how to break up the penguin monotony.
