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.

SHOPAHOLICS in the US need only press a button on their television sets to satisfy their urges. Now they can also tune into Joan Rivers's new show, Can We Shop (as in Boy] Can she shop]).

The show is on every day and Ms Rivers sure knows her market, being herself a prime shopaholic who buys as much as she sells. Would you buy a frock from Joan Rivers? So far, her own useless buys have included the Incredible Knitting Machine (can you really imagine Joan Rivers sitting at home knitting socks on such a contraption?) and a vase that arranges flowers. There are no plans for a transatlantic cross- over just yet.
