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.

BRIEF Balkan update: villagers in Bulgaria's Rhodope mountains are locking their doors and hiding under their beds after a sheep has gone missing. It is the third to disappear in three years in the region. The villagers have, naturally enough, concluded that a vampire addicted to sheep is on the rampage. On the other hand, Reuter tells us, they agree that the animals may have fallen down a hole, but they are too scared to go and look.
