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.

Two fishermen missing off the coast of Scotland were today found alive after a night of gales, snow and heavy frost.
The first was found on land. He had already moored his boat and became lost in a blizzard on the Isle of Skye.
The other was found after an air and sea search, clinging to his dinghy six miles offshore.
Both were taken to hospital but their conditions are not yet known. One is aged 46 and the other is 52.
