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.Labor Day may mean the end of summer but it doesn’t come without its perks.
While some people travel to get the most out of the last weekend, others shop - as Labor Day is known for its incredible deals on almost all merchandise.
Although some stores offer store-wide discounts over the holiday weekend, other Labor Day sales aren’t as cost-effective - so make sure you know what you are looking for before you start shopping.
The best items to buy during the Labor Day sales are typically luxury items, back-to-school necessities, and end-of-summer clothing.
For fall clothing and electronics, it is usually worth waiting until later in the year around Black Friday, when discounts are usually even better.
Many stores have not yet released their Labor Day deals, which typically begin on Friday, August 31 - but chances are your favourite store will be participating.
These are the stores with deals that you may wish to take advantage of:
