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.

Made at the new Hacienda Unamuno close to the Portuguese border, Durius (Latin for the Duero River) is a pure tempranillo with smoky oak aromas, sweetly juicy strawberry-like fruitiness and enough textured tannin to absorb the juices of a home-made burger. £4.99 price lasts until tomorrow week.

Under the experienced eye of David Lockley, Yonder Hill is one of South Africa's most consistently good value (and best-looking) Bordeaux- style reds. This classy blend with its core of cassis fruit balanced, spicy oak, and supple tannins is even better than the gold-medal winning Merlot. Ideal for leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic.
Splash out: 2001 Two Paddocks Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand, £14.75, Haynes, Hanson & Clark, London SW1 (020-7259 0102) and Stow-on-the-Wold, Glos.
This elegant pinot noir from actor Sam Neill is almost Burgundian in style. It's a delicate red with a spicy note of vanilla from oak and herby, savoury undertones infusing the sweet summer pudding berry and rhubarb-like fruitiness.
