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.THE DOW failed to stay above the 10,000 mark following a profit warning from Gillette, the world's largest manufacturer of razors.
Gillette tumbled more than 10 per cent after it said that slowing Latin American sales would hurt profits this year, dragging the Dow down 0.4 per cent to 9965.43 by midday. The hi-tech Nasdaq Composite index, which like the Dow set a new record high on Monday, rose 5.32 points to 2566.70.
