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.Dogs on buses: An 80-year-old woman, returning from her birthday party, was thrown off a Greyhound bus in Florida at the weekend because of a birthday present she had with her: a small puppy. Police, called by the bus driver, then gave her a sandwich and something to drink, and teamed up to take her and the dog home in a relay of five patrol cars. When she woke the next morning she found a bouquet of roses with a card from the sheriff's deputies in Tampa that read: "We want you to know there are still some nice people in the world."
Dogs in space: Russian scientists have unveiled a plaque to the memory of Laika, who became the first dog in space - and the first to be burnt up on re-entry - 40 years ago.
Dogs in court: The US Appeals Court has been hearing a case of a judge whose dog harassed women by poking its snout under their skirts. The legal question is whether the judge brought the dog to court as a private citizen, or whether it was an "extension of his judicial persona".
