QUOTES OF THE WEEK
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.

The 7th Earl of Onslow
The tone of iron vituperation and gut-shuddering hatred are reminiscent of the fury of the Salem ministers roaring down on the Devil.
Playwright Arthur Miller on President Clinton's critics
I have no self-esteem, but the biggest ego in the world.
Mike Tyson
The pattern of [Paul] Gascoigne's life is terrifying. He will end up in the gutter, in prison, or he will die.
Addiction counsellor Steve Jacobs
Getting drunk is even seen as a synonym for entertainment. It is a basic component of Anglo-Saxon machismo.
