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.

A 27-year-old man who grew a cannabis crop in his six-year-old daughter's bedroom was jailed for three months yesterday.

Mark Lymburn grew 26 plants in his daughter's wardrobe and behind the curtains of her room at their home in Torquay, Devon, Exeter Crown Court was told. Peter Telford for the prosecution said the plants, found during a police raid in January, would have been worth pounds 950. Mr Lymburn pleaded guilty to cultivating cannabis, and possessing cannabis resin and magic mushrooms.
