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.An American toy company which makes the popular Beanie Babies dolls has been accused of exploiting Barack Obama's daughters after calling the latest products in its range "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvellous Malia".
The 12-inch dolls were released this month in time for his inauguration. They are part of the company’s TyGirlz collection, which includes Bubbly Britney (modelled on Britney Spears) and Lucky Lindsay (Lohan).
Sweet Sasha and Marvellous Malia are the first African-American dolls in the range, but they were criticised by the White House, which said it was "inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes". However, A Ty spokeswoman said there was nothing on the dolls referring to the Obamas.
