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.

The US Figure Skating Association has opened an inquiry into whether Tonya Harding violated its standards of ethics or sportsmanship when she denied any prior knowledge of the attack on her rival, Nancy Kerrigan, but admitted that she did not come forward with 'things that I learnt' afterwards, AP reports from Portland, Oregon. The panel's recommendation could lead to her being left out of the US team for the Winter Olympics next month in Lillehammer, Norway.
Prosecutors handling the assault charge have subpoenaed videotape of Ms Harding's recent television appearances to find out what she knew and when she knew it.
