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.The world's most famous plumber (and, of course, his brother) is back. Mario, star of more than 200 games, and jolly handy with a plunger, is coming to a Wii near you on Friday when New Super Mario Bros. goes on sale. Despite nearly 30 years of fame and fortune, our hero is as fresh and unjaded as ever, ready to do battle with Bowser who has, once again, got the unusually unlucky Princess Peach in his clutches. But while the plot could use some work (Peach has been ensnared so many times I've lost count), the gameplay is corking. While it's fun to attempt this side-scroller on your own, playing with buddies makes for a joyously chaotic experience.
