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.A good day for:
Bowleaze, a male hamster in Somerset who recovered after his own funeral. Believing he was dead - the animal was stiff and emitting a "slight pong" - his owners buried him in their garden. On learning, some considerable time later, that hamsters hibernate, stiffly and pongily, in cold weather, they dug him up, carried him into the warmth and watched him return to life.
A bad day for:
A Grantham couple, too embarrassed to give their names, whose family tiff cost them pounds 500. The angry husband threw a briefcase at his wife but missed. The case went flying past her and sailed over a garden hedge, where it was promptly picked up by three youths who ran off. The man then remembered that the case contained pounds 500 in cash.
