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.

WHICH country will turn out the best-dressed athletes at the Olympics this month? The betting is on the Baltic state of Lithuania, which commissioned Issey Miyake to design its uniform. The results are extraordinary: white pleated windbreakers with oversized hoods that unzip to form banners printed with the country's name.

The striking uniform is completed with silver trackpants and grey cotton T-shirts and trainers. Miyake was asked to design the uniform by Edward Domanskis, a Californian plastic surgeon of Lithuanian descent, who wears Miyake himself and is the official physician for the team.

The Japanese designer loves taking on unusual commissions. He was recently approached to redesign the vestments for Winchester Cathedral, a project that is on hold while sponsors are sought.
