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.A good day for:
Pithecophaga jefferyi, the Philippine eagle, which has replaced the maya, a type of sparrow, as the national bird of the Philippines. Supporters of the change argued that the maya is a pest that eats rice crops. Others questioned the wisdom of replacing it with a bird of prey.
A bad day for:
Huang Hsin-min, a Taiwanese policeman, in debt from video games, who tried to rob a bank with a toy gun. He ran away when an alarm button was pressed, but was caught after leaving the gun wrapped in clothes with his name on them near the scene of the crime.
