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.

This comes as no surprise. The designer has a history of using sex to sell. He’s had several ads banned, such was his 2007 men’s fragrance ad which featured a bottle of scent clutched between a model’s thighs and breasts. For his latest collection (spring/summer 2015) he’s made the nipple pasty high fashion (as seen on Rihanna and Miley Cyrus at the amFAR gala).
With a price tag of $800 (£500), this white 18 carat gold charm necklace is a risqué piece of luxury jewellery.
Ford’s phallic pendant comes in silver too. But that’s not all; it’s also available in small, medium and large – whether you want to be more discreet or not.
Even more ironic, or let’s say controversial, it has the shape of a crucifix, but not to offend Catholics, it’s clearly labelled as “the penis necklace” on its website.
