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 47-year-old man from Blackpool became violent after drinking a "considerable" amount of whisky on the American Airlines flight to Chicago. He assaulted the 76-year-old woman sitting in front of him and then attempted to kick a flight attendant in the stomach before he was restrained with plastic handcuffs.
The flight crew diverted the plane to land at Goose Bay, Newfoundland, where the man, who has not been named, was arrested and questioned.
