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.

STOCKS CLOSED sharply lower on renewed fears that China will devalue the yuan, coupled with bearish comments by US Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan. The Hang Seng index closed down 275.36 points or 2.06 per cent at 13,093.70. At one point it was down more than 3 per cent before recovering in the last hour of trade.
However, traders added that much of the selling appeared to be futures- driven.
