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.

This newspaper is proud of its efforts to minimise its impact on the environment. In order to save newsprint and, frankly, staff time, we should be grateful if readers would cut out the following two paragraphs and refer to the appropriate one after each of England's World Cup engagements over the next few months.

England wins: His private life is his own inscrutable business. But the qualities of intelligence and calm management that first brought Sven to English football continue to work their inscrutable magic.

England loses: We thought he knew what he was doing. But Tibetan poetry and designer specs are just a front, and inscrutability is no substitute for judgement. His private life is his own inscrutable business, but he has got to go.
