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 parking meters, as John Rolfe, a parking warden in Diss, Norfolk, came to the aid of a frantic couple who were one witness short for their wedding at a registry office. Mr Rolfe, still in uniform, rang his boss before taking 15 minutes off for the ceremony and receiving a kiss of thanks from the bride. Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, Ohio, a 63- year-old grandmother was fined $500 for putting coins into other people's parking meters to save them from receiving a ticket. "I would not offer any apology," she said, "when I know in my heart of hearts that I did nothing wrong."
Bad Day for Rosie Lee Hill, who went to a police station in Pensacola, Florida, to complain that she had been sold counterfeit crack cocaine by a drugs dealer. The police tested the substance, confirmed that it was genuine, and arrested her for possession of an illegal substance.
Holy Day for Rev Sisco Cassidy, who has just been ordained over the Internet and is now licensed to perform marriages, christenings and funerals. The Reverend Cassidy lives in East Belfast and is a three-legged cat.
