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.

Night in

2008 Asda Extra Special Chianti Classico Riserva

It's well worth taking advantage of the current £2-off offer on this pasta basher from Castellani Spa, whose sangiovese fruit is tinged with savoury cherry fruit and herby undertones. £6.98, Asda

Dinner party

2010 Château La Fleur de Haute-Serre

This is a Malbec-based, fragrant, blackberry-hearted blend with a twist of liquorice spice, firm grip softened by merlot and enlivened by appetisingly savoury freshness. £10.49, Waitrose

Splash out

2010 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Combottes Blanc

All the complex nuttiness you're looking for in a Côte de Beaune white burgundy with a seductive fruit richness that's transformed into a chalky dry, mineral freshness. £26, M&S
