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.

@robdelaney: "Obama has some great ideas; is it ok if I simply repeat them? My memory is terrific." - Mitt Romney

@ChrisRock: I was gonna vote for [insert candidate] but after watching the debate I'm going to vote for [that exact same candidate] - Everyone

@JohnKerry: Mitt apparently had no binders on foreign policy

@Billmaher: I've seen wider ideological differences between Jehova's Witnesses

@Billmaher: Mitt's entire debate strategy: What he just said, but from a white guy

@Max_read: Pakistan looking thru the wedding album, tears running down the cheeks

@JustinMcElroy: Wait, this debate is for undecided voters who also understand foreign policy? I've sent group texts with a broader audience.

@andylevy: I just hope both candidates make it clear they think America is great

@OnionPolitics: Obama seems suspiciously knowledgeable about foreign affairs for someone born here

@Ezraklein: Barack Obama is winning this debate by being George W Bush

@realDonaldTrump: Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden.

@PiersMorgan: Nobody's winning this - both being equally safe/calm/dull
