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.

Bad Day for Flossie Torgerson, 74, of West Hills, Los Angeles, whose pet chihuahua, Babette, was eaten by a 7ft-long boa constrictor when it wandered out through a dog flap on to the patio. Animal control officials stressed that there are no boa constrictors in the San Fernando Valley area. This one must have been an escaped pet, they say.
Embarrassing Day for lovers, as a young couple in Cologne had to call the police to free them after they had handcuffed themselves naked to a bed.
