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.Good Day for stones, as a Siberian scientist, Vassily Bgatov, claimed that eating certain types of stone can improve your health. After 15 years studying the stone-eating behaviour of Siberian elks, stag, deer, rams and people, he concluded that the minerals they included boosted the body's immune system. He particularly recommends zeolite with wheat and rye.
Bad Day for criminal frivolity, as the New York State Attorney General declared war on prison inmates who have filed frivolous suits against the state. Among the list of silliest cases was that of Brooklyn burglar Anthony Malloy who claimed "$989 billion trillion" in damages because prison guards had allegedly beaten up his jacket when he wasn't wearing it. The case was thrown out.
Bad Dress Day for Dennis Rodman, the transvestite star of the Chicago Bulls basketball team. Mr Rodman topped the list of "Worst Dressed Women" drawn up by fashion designer Mr Blackwell, who said: "In fishnet and feathers he's a unisex wreck."
