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.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy headed home yesterday with her newborn daughter, Giulia – the first baby born to a sitting French President. Ms Bruni-Sarkozy, 43, left the Clinique de la Muette tightly holding the infant as she was helped into a car by two minders. But there was no sign of the proud father, who was also absent from the birth last Wednesday. Mr Sarkozy, 56, said he and his wife felt a "very profound happiness" at the birth of their first child together. He has three sons from two previous marriages. She has one son from a previous relationship. AP
