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.

One baggage handler at Manchester Airport managed to get in a morning workout while waiting for suitcases to travel up the conveyor belt onto an easyJet Airbus A320neo aircraft.
The press-ups were caught on video by passenger Andy Lee while he was waiting in the departure lounge, which overlooks the tarmac.
In the footage, the baggage handler managed to do 20 reps in the hold before jumping up to load a suitcase.
Lee shared the footage on Twitter with the hashtag #morningvibes.
A spokesperson for easyJet told The Independent: “We are aware of the video and have raised it with our ground handling services supplier at Manchester Airport.”
It’s not the first time an airport worker has used some high-octane moves while on the job.
