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.

After the recent success of its collaborations with Versace and Marni, H&M this week announced its next partner, the avant-garde label Maison Martin Margiela, the brilliantly bonkers name behind such treats as flat-sleeved jackets and cloven-hooved boots. The range will include both menswear and womenswear, as well as accessories, and launches in November. Get queuing now!
Face to watch: Kitty Cowell
Ed sheeran, Vanessa Saturday, Rita Ora – alumni of the British Academy of New Music all. And the one to watch from this year's crop? Step forward Kitty Cowell, who has, apparently, "got swag". Class dismissed. kittycowell.tumblr.com

Lexpionage: Pauseword, n.
The moment of cold terror as you realise you have no idea what combination of sports team/pet name/ child's birthday you hurriedly changed your online passwords to in the wake of the LinkedIn hacking crisis
On the radar: Because some things are still worth getting excited about...
Recreation: Monster Swim
If swimming with sharks has started feeling passé, try open-water specialist Swimtrek's upgrade: freestyling with Nessie in Scotland's finest loch as part of a mile or half-mile paddle. 18 August, monsterswim.co.uk
Film: 'Gambit'
The 1966 original (see link below) was good, but the Coen brothers-scripted remake (out October) will surely be better. How can it fail, with Diaz, Rickman, Firth and Mel Brooks regular Cloris Leachman? tinyurl.com/cugcpfx
Photography: Do Not Disturb!
Not one for the bashful, this: check out what happened when Ellen von Unwerth checked in at the Madonna Inn for a salacious shoot of dominatrices and coquettes. From Thursday, michaelhoppengallery.com
