The Week in Review
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.

As Ferrari won their first Grand Prix since 1990, a fire in the pits at Hockenheim enveloped Jos Verstappen's car and his mechanics during a stop for refuelling. Fortuantely, it was put out within four seconds.
Scott Gibbs, now a professional with St Helen's rugby league club, made some non-specific allegations about payments to the leading players at the allegedly amateur Welsh rugby union clubs. The row goes on.
The Premiership transfer merry-go-round in preparation for the new season continued with John Fashanu surprisingly leaving Wimbledon for Aston Villa and Vinny Samways, as widely trailed, joined Everton from Tottenham.
Another athletics world record went to Africa when Noureddine Morcelli, of Algeria, cut almost four seconds off the previous 3,000m best.
