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.
Your support makes all the difference.SOCIAL note: strange rumours insinuate themselves through from heat-dazed Westminster. One bespeaks attempts at rapprochement between doughty Gordon Brown, the Shadow Chancellor, and his exotic companion of long-ago Edinburgh University days, Princess Margarita of Romania. The Princess, a god-daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh (qv), is the eldest daughter of King Michael of Romania, who was forced out at gunpoint by Communists in 1948. She has been described as the strongest candidate for a restored Romanian throne. A rekindling of the old flame would raise the heady prospect of King Gordon of Romania. And they say the economy there is in an even worse state than it is here. A challenge indeed. Sadly, my sources report a lack of enthusiasm on Gordon's side; and the Captain's attempts to speak to the Princess have so far proved fruitless. I will keep you posted.
