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:
Geoffrey, a donkey who has been successfully treated for alcoholism at The Donkey Sanctuary, near Sidmouth, Devon. Geoffrey had become addicted to gin-and-tonics given to him by his owner. Alcohol makes normally placid donkeys aggressive. Another beer-drinking donkey trained to pick up and drain half-pint bottles, attacked a pub-owner's wife.
A bad day for:
The French, who have been said to "lack a sense of humour" by a Belgian film director accused of hurling a cream pie at France's minister of culture. Jan Bucquoy, who has set up an "International Pastry Brigade" maintains that pie-throwing is a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. "For many people it is an honour to have pies thrown at them," he said.
