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.

'Greeted with boos and cheers, childish Dambusters sounds and 5.9 diving-mark cards, the German forward was impeccably behaved. So commendable was his smiling performance that when he departed on a stretcher for eight stitches in a mouth wound, Hillsborough stood up to applaud him.' Telegraph
'Jur-ger king' Sun
'Brave Jurgen a knock-out' Mirror
' 'The English League is one of the best and I'm happy to be in it,' Klinsmann said. To those in the main stand at Hillsborough who rose to him as he was carried from the field on Saturday, it is clear the feeling is already mutual.' Mail
'Ooh ah Wunderbar' Sun
'Tottenham's mighty Jurgenaut steamrollered the six-points punishment the FA imposed . . . Klinsmann looks at the moment as if he could make sauerkraut out of dandelion leaves.' Express
'The scoreboard at White Hart Lane shone in homage to Jurgen Klinsmann as the great talent Tottenham have unleashed on English football took another defence in his measured stride.' Mail
