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.

It's one of the best things here, along with The Foo Fighters' rousing run through anti-privilege anthem "Fortunate Son", and Alan Jackson's wistful "Have You Ever Seen the Rain". Elsewhere, Kid Rock taps into the swamp-rock heart of "Born on the Bayou", Zac Brown Band bring a bluegrass hoedown spring to "Bad Moon Rising". But what's most intriguing is how raw, visceral and furious Fogerty sounds these days.
