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.

She then became very famous for divorcing him in a flurry of PR-led mudslinging, changing her face, and appearing in Hello! with woeful regularity.
APPEARANCE: Ivana 1: Scowling Iron Curtain Hausfrau with fighting jaw and corrugated brow. Ivana 2: Beehived Barbie with soft expression and slender maxillary features. This fantastic transformation was surpassed in the annals of surgical miracles only by Michael Jackson. And yet achieved, according to the Trump Organisation, by weight loss and a change in make- up. No secret scalpels on our Ivana.
STOP PRESS: All is not shipshape with Ivana's yacht - um, the Ivana. The busy beehived one has filed a lawsuit against an Italian shipbuilder, alleging that her namesake is "unseaworthy, dangerously built and abysmally constructed." Ivana is seeking a refund of $4.1m. Plus $35m for "emotional distress". Poor doll. How she has suffered.
FAMILY VALUES: Ivana has three children - Donald Junior, Ivanka and young Eric - and one husband, Riccardo Mazzucchelli, a short man with Siberian wolf hound eyes. Ivanka, 15, is currently a model. The problem is, she resembles Ivana 1. The scalpel may have just missed the DNA. Perhaps Ivanka will shortly lose weight and change her make-up.
FAME PROSPECTS: If she has more - sorry, some - surgery, further divorces, yachts, penthouses, law suits and clothes, she should stay in the press for a good decade, and Hello! forever. Ivana, you're a babe.
