Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

In what may be the most expensive pile-up ever, 14 luxury cars smashed into each other in Japan yesterday, reportedly while they were being driven from Hiroshima to a supercar event in Kyushu.

Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt in the accident, which involved eight Ferraris, two Mercedes and at least one Lamborghini, each worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. The road was closed for more than six hours while rescue workers cleared the wreckage.
