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.

We've seen cats that look like Hitler and peered deep into the soul of Henri the existential cat, but now there's a new internet kitty sensation on the block.

Meet Sam, the worried cat. Sam has unusual markings on his head between his eyes and his ears that make him look like he has eyebrows, posed in a shocked expression.

His owners - who wish to remain anonymous - have started a website, an Instagram account, and a Twitter account for Sam, recording his adventures in an ever-confusing and baffling world. And for naysayers who think that his peculiar markings aren't real, his owners have posted photographs of the markings close-up.

Sam's escapades have entertained just under 24,500 Instagram users, and as of writing, Sam's twitter account has just over 800 followers.
