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.

l REGULATIONS may require that parallel-imported medicines have their foreign-language patient information replaced by English (Letters, 7 June) but my son recently had prescription medicines with a Spanish leaflet and I had some from a different pharmacy in a pack printed in Portuguese, with no leaflet at all.

THOSE who find nudity and sex on TV boring and tasteless will not bother to switch on programmes such as Close Relations, which is why there have been no complaints about it ("More TV sex on Sundays, please...", 7 June). The so-called "challenge" to the producers is to convey the sexual side of the story without explicit pictures.

GEOFFREY Wheatcroft's description of the cultural values of the left and the economic norms of the right fusing to form the dominant political force ("It's the way Tony tells `em", 7 June) is no more than the messy and perhaps inescapable triumph of Liberalism. I hope Paddy Ashdown can see its funny side.
