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.

Sandra Bullock plays against type as a hard-as-nails publisher whose charmless control-freak ways have secured her place as the office monster. When US immigration threaten her with deportation – she's a Canadian without a visa – Bullock makes an impromptu escape bid; she'll marry her assistant (Ryan Reynolds), who's such a wuss that he goes along with it. First, though, they must spend a weekend in Alaska with his family, and we must watch as Bullock claws her way towards a semblance of amiability. Reynolds isn't bad, raising a laugh with his looks of suppressed horror at her cynical marriage scam (who can blame him?), but Bullock struggles pitifully as the career-witch with spiky stilettos and Vuitton luggage.
