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.

Meanwhile, in Swansea, Sally Fowler, 72, and Jimmy Wilcox, 78, who have five children, 23 grand-children and six great-grand-children, decided it was time to get married. They have been living together since 1945.
A different family relationship was reported in Italy where a brother and sister, named only as Francesco, 43, and Rosario, 32, were discovered to have been keeping their mother's corpse at home so they could continue to draw her pension. The body was only discovered when another brother visited the home, noticed the smell and called the police. The woman had probably died two weeks before.
Finally, in Zagreb, Katarina Paunovic, 66, was attacked and killed by her grandson's terrier. Two years ago she had saved it from being put down after it had attacked her grandson.
