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.US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she has no desire to make for another run for the highest office in the land but hopes to see a female US president in her lifetime.
Politely turning aside questions about her political intentions at a town hall event in Kolkata, Mrs Clinton said she really wanted to see "that final glass ceiling" broken.
She noted, though, that the American political process is difficult and heavily dependent on fund raising, which makes it hard for any candidate to succeed.
Still, she said she thinks there will be an election that will elect a woman president.
As for herself, she says she is done with the political highwire. She says she just wants to "get back to taking some deep breaths".
