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.

Haribo has cornered the edible jewellery market, I think, but some of these hand ornaments are almost good enough to eat. Exciting times for jewellery in general and rings in particular – you can't get enough of them on your mitts these days.
So I wasn't far off with the finger buffet.
Kinda – but if one way of doing the ring thing now is to wear lots of tiny bands, both above and below the knuckle, the other is to opt for a few big statement pieces, maxi rings as we like to call them, that cover at least half your digit.
And the particular appeal of the maxi?
Think of delicate bands as mini skirts for hands – great on the long and slender, but making anything chunkier appear all the more so. A maxi ring has the opposite scaling effect, so is much more forgiving on hard-working paws.
Aesthetics?
So many possibilities, but go for unabashed drama appropriate to the dimensions. You can do classical, as with this gold-plated snake design from Aurelie Bidermann (£125, my-wardrobe.com, above), worthy of Cleopatra herself. For mannerist opulence, we love Katie Rowland's Circe and Carmilla knuckle rings (from £376, katie-rowland.com).
