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.

And according to marketing-software maker HubSpot, there are certain words salespeople should use to boost their chances of closing more deals.
Using the 13 words below can help you significantly sell more and make a boatload of money.
HubSpot, a marketing-software company, recently published a slide deck titled "13 words that can transform you into a super seller." Here we have the 13 words ...
1) "You"
It makes prospects feel more "special."
2) "Value"
Explain the real "value" of your product.
