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.FOOTSIE SUFFERED the third biggest fall in its history yesterday as a sharp overnight sell-off on Wall Street sparked a savage round of profit-taking. Heavy selling left the blue-chip index 206.4 lower at 5537.5, its largest slump since the 1987 crash., with more than 1.1 billion shares traded. A bearish CBI services survey and a gloomy report on manufacturing made things worse. The other indices fared slightly better, the mid cap ending 80.3 lower at 4821.4 and the small cap 25.5 off at 2039.5.
