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.

Seattle - Rock singer Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana star Kurt Cobain, was said to be recovering after an apparent overdose of prescription drugs. Emergency workers were called early on Sunday to Love's multimillion- dollar home overlooking Lake Washington in Seattle, where 27-year-old Cobain committed suicide last year by shooting himself in the head. They found Love unconscious.

Police said Love, 30, had taken prescription drugs on a flight from New York, causing her to become groggy. She needed to be helped from the plane and was "unconscious and unresponsive" by the time she arrived home. Reuter
