News of the weird
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.Clinton - an apology: The president of the state senate of Iowa has apologised to the President and the state. Mary Kramer said: "For those I have offended, and for those that feel I have violated this chamber, I absolutely apologise." Her act of "disrespect" had been to have Bill Clinton's picture taken down temporarily from behind the Senate president's chair while she had her photograph taken.
Clinton sucks: A Pennsylvania confectioner called Mugwump Creations reports a big increase in sales of "All-American Gummi Bills", a line of chewy sweets that look like President Clinton. "I thought the Paula Jones thing would get some interest in Gummi Bills. But then the Monica Lewinsky scandal hit and that really breathed life into it. It's been incredible," said the sweet's creator, Jeff Munchak. "They're selling extremely well in Washington."
Bill Clinton II: The President had a surprise on his visit to Uganda last week when he met a two-day-old boy named Bill Clinton. His mother had received a $50 loan from the Americans to set up a small business.
