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.

The move had been widely predicted and the FTSE 100 only lost 13 points to close at 6,048.3. The blue-chip index was in positive territory for most of the day but was hit by a bout of late selling prompted by Wall Street's shaky start. The smaller indices fared better, with the FTSE 250 ending 9.6 higher at 5,286.9 and the Small Cap rising 6.2 to 2,282.5.
