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 Claudia Schiffer, who told a news conference in Peru that she was excited by the idea of being cloned. She said she would like to have two clones "so that I can have more time for myself".

Bad Day for romance, as a survey in Singapore placed marriage only fourth among graduates and fifth among non-graduates when they were asked to list their priorities over the next five years. The survey also found that 48 per cent of women would rather stay single than lower their expectations or seek the help of a matchmaker.

Dangerous Day for self-defence, as a 70-year-old Moldovan woman was detained by police for having a hand grenade "for self-defence" in her shopping basket. She had bought it from a passer-by for a bottle of home- made alcohol.
