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.ROLL OVER Lisa, Pippa's arrived.
Let me explain. Daniel Godfrey, director general of the Association of Investment Trust Companies (AITC), noticed that the Government's proposals announced last week on pensions seemed to be dumping the acronym Lisa - or "Lifetime Individual Savings Account". Lisas are the Government's idea for allowing people to take out a pension by going direct to a unit trust company.
If Lisa has left town, Mr Godfrey wonders, who should replace her? His suggestion is Pippa - or "Portable Individual Pension Provision Account". He also thought up four other possible acronyms. A commendable use of the director general's time, no doubt.
