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.

Thursday 15th August.

If you're over 18, chances are this date won't mean very much to you this year.

But if you're in the final year of school, it's the day of the dreaded A-Level results.

Last year the class of 2012 recorded the biggest drop in top grades in the history of A-levels.

So best of luck to all expecting results. And if you don't get the grades you were hoping for and want to go to uni - here's our advice on clearing.

Alternatively, just try using one of these, as #resultsdayexcuses trends on Twitter:
