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.

A powerful bomb exploded in the outskirts of the Pakistani capital Islamabad today, wounding at least six people, police said.
No one took responsibility for the explosion in Islamabad's Pindora neighbourhood.
Two of the victims were in serious condition, doctors said.
In recent months dozens of bomb explosions have rocked major cities throughout Pakistan, causing scores of casualties. Pakistan routinely blames neighboring India for the blasts.
India, in turn, accuses Pakistan of fomenting violence in the Himalayan state of Jammu-Kashmir, where pro-Pakistan militants are fighting to end Indian rule.
Both countries deny the charges.
