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.Thank goodness for that. It turns out that the doodlings attributed to Mr Blair at Davos - and interpreted in minute detail by us, among others - were not his, but those of the Microsoft billionaire, Bill Gates. It is Mr Gates, then, who writes vertically because he is "not rooted in practicality"; Mr Gates whose handwriting resembles that of a 10-year-old; Mr Gates whose circles betray "an inability to complete tasks"; Mr Gates whose penchant for boxes shows a need to "compartmentalise and impose control". We may have learnt nothing about the PM, but at least we now know what it takes to start up and run a global software giant.
